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.

Shadow

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.

The FDA has been looking for a generic name for Viagra. After careful consideration by a team of government experts, it recently announced that it has settled on the generic name of Mycoxafloppin. Also considered were Mycoxafailin, Mydixadrupin, Mydixarizin, Dixafix, and of course, Ibepokin.

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, 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):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, 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.
