Just watched a show about a plane flight to Benghazi that didn't arrive. It was the James Stewart film "The Flight of the Phoenix". A film WORLDS better than the 2004 version.
The *original* "The Flight of the Phoenix" is in my Top 10 best movies off all time. Maybe top 5.
I did not care for the re-make. I first saw the film in the late 70's. But I've watched it many times since. The acting is just superb. When Dorfmann reveals his "secret" it's one of the best twists in movie history.
I could talk about this movie forever. I've watched it so many times.
The scene when they are trying to start the engine with only a limited number of cartridges for the Coffman starter is gripping. I still get nervous! Lol
