Saving Private Ryan (1998)
Actors- Tom Hanks (My favorite), Matt Damon ,Vin Diesel and Tom Sizemore.


Also based on World War II. Not based on aircrafts but includes a great scene of P51 Mustang bombing the German tank at the end.

Great Movie. Must watch if you like War/History based movies.
Has 8.5/10 rating on IMDb.

Downloaded a few more:

Red Tails ( More like Tuskegee Airmen - Part 2 - predictable plot but Great CG / flying sequences, Dark Blue World (Highly recommended - IMHO at par with Battle of Britain), The Bomber (A French movie) and Hells Angels ( The original 1930 Classic produced by Howard Hughes).

For the hard hearted - I recommend that you do a torrent search for Idi i Smotri (Come and See - a Russian 1985 film) But then that is only if you are a die hard researcher/collector of WW2 films. Not recommended for the casual collector looking for 'Bang Bang and Glory' films.
Growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional!

No one mentioned "The Blue Max"  A true classic, but I guess under 50's would not have heard of it :)

Oops, sorry. VC has! Praises to the BW watchers

The Dam Busters.

Fascinating info on the ultra simple technique used to fly at a very specific height at the time of bomb release.
This height was extremely critical for the bombs to be effective

Can elaborate if anyone is really  interested.

Yes, great B/W movie, The Dam Busters. Who was the designer? Some Wallis something?

Blue Max and Aces High for WWI. Tora Tora Tora and Battle of Britain for WWII.
Wings Over Everest, the Academy Award winning documentary.
Then there's the French comedy Le Grand Vadrouille about RAF bomber pilots show down in France WWII.
TV show I remember fondly Tales of The Golden Monkey which featured a Grumman Widgeon, if I remember correctly.

Speaking of MiGs, don't remember the model but small film about Iranian pilot who defects with his MiG to Israel, true story. I met Victor Belenko at an airshow aeons ago when he was peddling Bedes as well as his autobiography. Would have been a nice MiG-25 centric film.

Flight of the phoenix. A movie not only based on a aircraft but also RC modellers.
A modeller actually redesigns a crashed plane and get it back to the airport ;D
Build planes like feathers rather than tanks, both handle bullets equally well.
