Airplane-Themed Movies to Watch on a Long Flight?
Okay, guys, I'm gonna have a 15 hour flight to the Far East and I'm going to bring along my notebook and need suggestions on two airplane-themed movies to bring along with me so I can scare The Wife
Criteria: Must involve passenger jet aircraft, with scenes mostly shot on the plane. Wife-scare factor not necessary, but good.
What other movies do you guys know of?
Of the below, which ones do you guys recommend?
Right now, I can only think of from memory and imdb:
*Airplane!
*Airplane II
*Air Force One (good candidate b/c it's a superbit-investment and is shot almost in its entirety on the plane)
*Airport 1975
*Airport '77
*Executive Decision
*[a movie I can't name but involves some sort of time-travel and people who are taken off planes right before they crash...anyone venture a guess? I think it had some sort of a Farah Fawcett-ish blonde actress]
*The William Schatner episode on Twilight Zone (is it available on dvd? Which set?)(okay, before you wise alecs say anything, yes, it's not jet but a prop plane).
Non-U.S. dvd honorable mentions:
*The Concorde: Airport '79

Anybody see the Thrill Seekers? Seems like it's another time-travel airplane movie like Millennium.

Turbulence, the Ray Liotta bomb of a few years back
And not quite the movie long experience you seek, but I can't watch Castaway for 6 months before I fly. All too real seeming.
