So, here's my question. I'm trying to set up a marathon of three movies. Obviously, the topic is movies taking place on a plane, and I've already got Snakes on a Plane and Flight of the Living Dead. Just wondering if anyone had any suggestions for the third. Thanks.
The Horror at 37,000 Feet springs to mind, but I have no idea how available it may be.
How about giant scorpions loose on a plane? Then Tail Sting may be your flick.

Red Eye, Air Force 1, or Con Air if you consider them B-movies/allow crime films in a mostly monster marathon. If not then Flying Virus takes place for a bit on a plane.
Also, there are the classic airplane b-movies http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0078740/movieconnections (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0078740/movieconnections), but like I said, if you are only looking for "______ on a plane" type movies, then Flying Virus is probably best, or even more probably one of those Shadow suggested, Flying Virus doesn't take place on a plane for a grand majority of the time like the others probably do.
I know the two part tv movie Langoliers began on a plane, I hope that helps.
The Night Flier (1997), it has a creepy "plane" theme but it's not actually taking place on a plane. Of course there's the legendary Nightmare at 20,000 Feet segment from Twilight Zone: The Movie (1983).
If a movie where the plane crashes about 1/3 of the way through and the rest of the film involves the crash survivors, I really liked the weird Japanese film GOKE: THE BODYSNATCHER FROM HELL (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0063206/).
Has nobody else
seen Flight of the Living Dead (Outbreak on a Plane) (http://imdb.com/title/tt0780583/)? :bouncegiggle: Impossible! There's also a movie about killer bees escaping containment on a passenger plane- intelligent researchers!- but I can't recall the title (I've looked around a bit but "plane full of bees" surprisingly yielded nothing :lookingup: )

That's a movie I was born to see :buggedout:! Since
The Langoliers was also mentioned I'll assume movies that involve airports are game as well, in which case you should track down Terminal Invasion (http://imdb.com/title/tt0322008/), a movie about aliens trying to infiltrate the planet
and Bruce Campbell is in it. That always adds points on from me :thumbup:
I haven't seen Tail Sting in a while, but I remember it being pretty entertaining. The one with killer bees on a plane is probably Flying Virus. Of course there's always Airplane! Night Flyer was another one I liked a lot. Very little of it actually takes place on an airplane, but it's about a mysterious killer who travels from airport to airport murdering people.
There's a T.V flick called "Nowhere To Land" starring Ernie Hudson. In it a lovelorn lunatic plants a nerve gas (!?) bomb on a plane flying over the pacific to kill his ex-fiancee.
If you're looking for painfully bad then Airplane 2.
The Airport films, especially the sequels, seem appropriate to me.
