I'd put Battle of Britain higher, probably an influence on Star Wars.
I never liked Airplane! or Flying High as it was named here.
I'd add the silent film Wings too. Too much CGI in some on that list.
See the recent restored version with improved sound of Wings, blows away
much on that list.
Perhaps an argument of the merits of obviously ignored movies too would
be in order.

Another, great for being a plane movie is Pearl Harbor regardless of
other criticisms. Certainly deserves better than some on that list.

Necessary on any best airplane movie list has to be "The High and the
Mighty" (1954).

Accepted! I would add Murphy's War for the flying sequences alone, though
it's not an airplane movie per se.

I put that on the 'obviously ignored' category.
The Right Stuff isn't really an airplane movie.
