Dear Esquire



If you're going to risk listing "THE 10 BEST AIRBORNE ACTION MOVIES" but you're not going award either "Wings"



or "The Giant Claw"



with so much as an Honorable Mention, then how can I possibly trust your opinion on other matters, like politics, and driving apparel, and semi-nude actresses whose previous professions may surprise me.

Signed,

A concerned citizen

The worst part is, since the horrible terrible ...really horrible remake of the "Flight of the Phoenix" you never get to see the original anymore. You see it in the guide and switch over to it and....oh crap..no Jimmy Stewart..no Attenborough. My dad knew the stunt pilot that got killed making the original.
.... "The Great Waldo Pepper" and "The Blue Max"....and the original "Hells Angels"... Movies with actual flying.

OMG Drifty!!! The Giant Mutha F**kin' Claw!!! Me, my sister and brother and two cousins screaming our collective heads off at the Riviera Theater in Detroit. Nightmares for a month. The halcyon days of youth. The Doctor thanks you for the memory.
