There seems to be two types of pilots...the TOP GUN guys....and the AIRPLANE guys...which one are you?

Memphis Belle I thought was not half bad.

quit amphetamines

Roger Murdock: We have clearance, Clarence.

The real question is: which movie is the sillier of Airplane and Top Gun??

Rowdy · Post by **Rowdy** » Sat Mar 04, 2006 10:20 am

Of those two... Airplane (at least they were TRYING to be silly) even sillier is Iron Eagle!

I'm with . Air America was great! Watching him land the porter uphill was pretty cool.

Oh come on. Obviously Airplane is better than Top Gun, but what about better movies:

The Blue Max, and
How I Learned To Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb

Excuse me, is that an Uzi?

I'm casting my vote for Air America as well.

i agree that there are many better aviation movies, just these two seem to really differentiate two distinct types of pilots. I would much perfer to sit for hours on end next to a person who likes Airplane, instead of Top Gun. The young flight school guys seem to be Top Gunners ... after years in the industry i realize that 'Captain Over' is far cooler than Maverick!

Can those two even be compared???

Is there really someone who thinks that Top Gun is the best airplane flick out there? Think I'd rather watch my toe nails grow.

I guess it's all in how serious you take each movie.

June Cleaver talking Jive or Flying rubber dog do-do outta Hong Kong. It's all good for a laugh. It's the types that take Top Gun seriously and think they are the Ice Man is where the problem lies. If someone wants to grow up to Captain Over, I want to fly with them. That would be the funniest cockpit ever.

I'm putting in another write-in vote for Dr. Strangelove:

One of the best movies of all time "Die Hard 2"

Iceman: Hell of a bird! I got this baby up to a Mach 3 yesterday!

Co-Pilot: You were doing Mach 3 on a 727?

Iceman: I was shaving with a Mach 3! When you shave with a Mach 3, there's no time to think! If you think, you're dead!

Co-Pilot #2: What are you talking about?

Iceman: You guys are dangerous. [ looks out window ] Bogey! Repeat: Bogey! Come in, Butter 6, he's got tone!

Co-Pilot #2: That's the 9:35 out of Tampa. It's taxiing!

Iceman: you guys are dangerous!
