The Flight of the Phoenix

I saw the horrible remake a couple years ago and man does this knock that out of the park. It's a flawed film but overall a pretty damn fine one. The backstory behind it is also very interesting. A stuntman died trying to fly the prototype planes that were used in the film. Jimmy Stewart gives another standout performance and I enjoyed Ernest Borgnine in a limited role. Overall it was a great classic film.

8/10
