Welcome to Thursday Movie Picks, a weekly series hosted by Wandering Through the Shelves where you share three movies to fit the theme of the week each Thursday.
This week's theme, as you might have guessed from the title, is Airplane Movies. It was quite a challenge, but I eventually came up with three titles, that also happen to be the only three airplane films I've seen.
Red Eye (2005)
A fast-paced, solid thriller with great performances, it follows a woman (Rachel McAdams) who hates flying on a night flight to Miami. The fear of flying will be the least of her problems when she is kidnapped by a handsome and charming man (Cillian Murphy). I was rooting for the villain but that's okay since he's Cillian, right?
United 93 (2006)
On a whole different level compared to the other entries, this devastating drama is a real-time account of the events occurred on the United Flight 93, one of the planes hijacked by terrorists on September 11, 2001. This is the story of those people who sacrificed their lives to save who knows how many people. An essential viewing.
Non-Stop (2014)
In this action-packed thriller, Liam Neeson is an U.S. Air Marshall assigned to a flight from New York to London. Shit gets real when he receives a series of text messages that put the passengers at risk unless $150 million is transferred to an offshore account.
