The Flight of the Phoenix...
 

Pretty good movie - but... watching the "making of" and stuff... Irish director John Moore is a complete arsehole (and not because he shares a name with Michael Moore.. ;) )...

He goes off on these tirades that would make working with him rather unpleasant - doesn't matter how much of a creative genius he is or portends to be... he just comes across as a prick.

Other than that, not a bad movie.

But the director... you could tell in the "making of scenes" that he isn't a nice bloke... he puts on this front but you can see when he gets frustrated or irritated he snaps.

He's prolly a wife basher as well..

yeah, I saw this flick as well, it was actually pretty decent, I liked the character played by the kid who was in Gone in 60 Seconds.

his name is Giovanni Ribisi.
It was a great movie IMO between his and Ladder 49 there have been some good movies out lately.

Well, I thought it was ok, and I'm glad Denis Quaid was in it, but the inaccuracies pertaining to aircraft drive me nuts...:lol:

Having almost grown up in the co-pilot seat, having a dad that not only has 10,000+ hours under the belt but is also an Department of Civil Aviation instructor/ride-along check-ride jock, I can identify... thank God the story was character driven... ;)
