Aviation movies: 1. Flying Leathernecks 2. Midway 1976 3. 12 O Clock High 4. The High and the Mighty 5. The Flight of the Phoenix 1965 6. 30 Seconds over Tokyo 7. Strategic Air Command 8. Top Gun/Top Gun Maverick 9. Sully 10. Tora Tora Tora Honorable mentions: The Aviator The Tuskegee Airmen The Final Countdown - If you liked Waldo Pepper check out The Blue Max and High Road to China for more WWI aircraft, both are two thumbs up. - Currently watching the series Lockerbie: A Search for Truth on Peacock. It is about Pan Am flight 103, I'm three episodes in and it is very compelling so far. It is based on the book by Jim Swire who lost his daughter on that flight. Colin Firth plays Swire and he is excellent. - Only Angel's have Wings and The Wind Rises have been added to the list. -Gotta love Porco Rosso, it's just a good time.
@thereelworldpodcast I forgot to mention an aviation documentary that I enjoyed called Speed and Angels, it's about two F-14 aviators, their stories, the first Gulf War and the last years of service for the F-14 Tomcat.

I'm glad you added Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo. I forgot to mention that one! I need to see several of those, so thanks for the recommendations.
