trying to find a movie

[ayavner]

really racking my brain here, wasn't there a movie out recently if I recall it was somewhat of a doco of an air show or perhaps and air race, all done in HD and with some breathtaking footage. i can NOT think of the name, and none of my searches are ringing a bell. I would say released in the last year or so.

 

Anyone?

National Geographic World's Biggest Air show

Nope, but that one looks good too! I think this one might be it now that I think of it - anyone seen it?

One six left? Although it has been out for more than a year!

 

 

[ayavner]

Well, now I have some good ones to watch out for as well! Hongie I watched that Nat Geo one, good stuff!

 

So all this did indeed ring my bell, and the one I am looking for is this one - Air Racers:

Thanks again guys for all the suggestions. Oh djpacro, I have seen "The Aviator"... pretty cool movie, HH was a pretty twisted bloke if half that is true! (Not you, Howard, the OTHER one! )

Don't rush out for it Brad... It (THE AVIATOR) is truly one of the most dreadful movies! Such a shame.

 

 

[Hongie]

Yeah lol I've seen the aviator I meant the one avayner linked

The AVIATORS has just commenced season three in the US. DVD has been released there as well.

Unfortunately season three is unavailable here until it is shown on TV. Seasons one and two are excellent.

 

 

[ayavner]

Oh I love The Aviators, some reason iTunes won't let me see it here :(

 

I know i can watch it on hulu, but was hoping i could d/l it on apple tv and nerd out on the bigscreen... sounds like i need to do the "pulling a US IP" trick...

Assuming you are talking about "The Aviator", if you like aircraft, I really wouldn't bother. A good story butchered.(like "Pearl Harbour" the movie)

 

 

[Hongie]

Download of the aviators is available on usenet mate.

 

I'll list a few of my favorites :)

 

Big rocks and long props

[Ultralights]

dont forget Operation Red Flag. an IMAX film, the fighter pilot competion held in the US every year.

 

 

[Hongie]

Yeah it was good too lights, but I was a bit disappointed with a few scenes in it where they tried to pass obvious cgi off as real footage

There is a doco called Barnstorming. I am waiting for my copy to arrive. Looks really good.
