Maybe it's Y2K or something, but I've had an uncommon amount of contact lately w/folks interested in WW I aviation films. In order to help avoid disappointment among us Forumites, how 'bout we list The Worst Great War Flying Flicks for prospective producers?
I ain't seen 'em all, but I've dang sure seen most of 'em and the biggest stinkers are (ta-da!)_
Lafayette Escadrille
Aces High
Other nominees are welcome before we cast our cyberballots.
(Note: as a former Motion Picture Critic I always figgered that the two essential ingredients for a satisfactory cinema are sixguns and hosses, which might explain why nobody saw "Driving Miss Daisy" a second time, fine film that it was. However, one of my coauthors insists that you need race cars and vampires, though actually he required another ingredient, but this is a family forum.)
