That is truly an unforgettable classic. <br /><br />For me I will have to decide if I choose to go for the humor. "Airplane!" seemed awfully amusing at the time.toto2https://www.blogger.com/profile/09652682900471649463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-36530306421244521282010-06-01T19:45:22.437-04:002010-06-01T19:45:22.437-04:00This is tough!!!

And I also thought I'd die laughing when the famously serious, stolid Robert Stack took off his sunglasses and had on another smaller pair underneath.

Paul, BACK FROM ETERNITY and ISLAND IN THE SKY are about plane crashes, but they're not appropriate for this poll. However, movies about "plane crashes" might make an interesting future poll; it could also include FLIGHT OF THE PHOENIX and SANDS OF THE KALAHARI. Becky, polls are meant to be tough!Rick29https://www.blogger.com/profile/08358116647815569722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-39857798192157741152010-05-30T21:44:50.892-04:002010-05-30T21:44:50.892-04:00Rick, you left of another John Wayne William Wellm...Rick, you left of another John Wayne William Wellman airplane film.
