Memphis Belle The Movie

Amazon.com
 If you've never seen an aviation movie before in your entire life, you'll be blissfully ignorant of the fact that Memphis Belle  shamelessly (and yet gloriously) incorporates just about every cliché in the flight-movie handbook. If you're a big fan of aviation  movies--especially movies about World War II bomber crews--you'll be glad that the genre's clichés have been handled with such  professional flair. As it follows the crew of a B-17 bomber on its final and most dangerous mission over Germany, Memphis Belle  may be little more than a slick and highly authentic presentation of familiar thrills and characters, but it's a rousing piece of  entertainment. Featuring an ensemble cast of fresh faces who've since enjoyed thriving careers (including Billy Zane, Sean Astin,  Eric Stoltz, D.B. Sweeney, and Harry Connick Jr.), the movie exists as a fitting tribute to the men who fought and often died in the  air over hostile territory. It's the Hollywood version of a 1944 wartime documentary made by legendary director William Wyler  (whose daughter served as one of this film's producers), and as such it's a bit contrived and melodramatic. And yet, this exciting  movie is almost certain to grab and hold your attention, offering an honorable reminder of the bravery and integrity that were crucial   ingredients of any bomber's crew. --Jeff Shannon
