I find it disgusting how actual war subjects can be re-made to "celebrate" or "glorify" anything.

You want a lighthearted, fun, heroic movie about aviators ? Cool, pick a fictional subject or even use a fictional war for your setting.

Using an actual war, especially WWII, the deadliest and most brutal air conflict that took the lives of over 60 million people (possibly over 200 000 in the air alone!) is just ridiculous.

I'm gonna assume you have the same problem with "lighthearted, fun, heroic" and celebratory ground or naval based WW2 movies too (That seems like a logical conclusion). In which case movie producers had no right to make these ten WW2 classics such as:

- A Matter of Life and Death (1946)
- The life and death of Colonel Blimp (1943)
- The Dam Busters (1954)
- Ice Cold in Alex (1958)
- The Guns of Navarone (1961)
- The Great Escape (1963)
- 633 Squadron (1964)
- The Dirty Dozen (1967)
- Where Eagles Dare (1968)
- Memphis Belle (1990)

I also appreciate the darker and more serious WW2 films like this ten (In fact, if forced to choose, I prefer them):

- The Cruel Sea (1953)
- The Longest Day (1962)
- Cross of Iron (1977)
- A Bridge Too Far (1977)
- The Big Red One (1980)
- Das Boot (1981)
- Schindler's List (1993)
- The Thin Red Line (1998)
- Downfall (2004)
- Letters From Iwo Jima (2006)

But I think we can have both without throwing out half of Cinemas history. I need films like this in my life...

...surely one of the most ridiculous but magnificent WW2 films ever shot.

Oh and let's not forget that Indiana Jones 1 & 3 are also Submarine exploding, Nazi face melting, Hitler book signing, Tank riding WW2 films too. So let's get rid of those two aswell.
