    Favorite flying sequence in a Film?

    Hi ,I have noticed a few others on this forum who are aviation professionals or enthusists and was wondering if anybody would like to nominate their favorite flying sequences (not necessarily in an aviation themed film).
    How about Blackhawk Down as a starter.

          Flight Of The Intruder - bad acting, great flying - especially the "follow the leader" scene and the finale with the Skyraiders

          Top Gun - the scenes at the Top Gun school

          Behind Enemy Lines - evading the SAM

          The Battle Of Britain - just watching the old Spitfires, ME109s and Henkels

          That's all that come to mind at the moment, but I'll have more later. . . .

              For Jets, definitely the Top Gun sequences. But for really hair raising experiences, see the second world war bomber sequences in MEPHIS BELLE and 12 O'CLOCK HIGH.

                  The comedian in me makes me want to list the attack on the Death Star in the original Star Wars. :B Seriously though, here are a few more favorites.

                  The Blue Max - most any aerial sequence

                  Pearl Harbor - I know it's mainly CGI, but it's pretty darn good CGI

                  The Final Countdown - dueling Zeros and Tomcats

                  Empire Of The Sun - "the day of the Mustang" sequence
                  .

                      How much should a student first time film cost?
                      by oldbob
                      In answer to my own question, I would say between $10,000 and $40,000 dollars. It used to be more but digital has drastically lowered the cost while at the same time making it much easier to produce a professional look.

                      However, this isn’t a story about reasonable. This is the true...

                      Student Film part three
                      by oldbob
                      Now we all have learned that at the beginning of each day you are given your pages of the days work. For me that means I can figure out how I am going to utilize my crew and plan my day. The more I can get ahead of the company with pre-lighting the more time I can save production. And in film time is...

                      Inside Man - latest Heist film
                      by Shane Martin
                      Heist films are usually a dud and tend to be a bit comical at times but this one is completely different. I knew it would be as soon as the "Spike Lee Joint" sign pops up during the opening sequence. Spike Lee usually does pieces about racism and human element type pieces but here he does...

                      new batman?
                      by Andrew Pratt
                      Christian Bale thought he had his hands full battling dragons in the futuristic thriller Reign of Fire.

                      If all the planets align in his favour, Bale could soon be tangling with Superman.

                      The buzz in Hollywood is that Bale is the front runner to play Bruce Wayne and his...
