10/10
"Man remembers great times. Man is told the great times are now irrelevant. Man proves the greatest are yet to come."

This is THE BEST helicopter action movie ever made! When two helicopters (Harry's Hughes 500 and the Vet's Aerospatiale Gazelle) fly into the hangar Harry's hiding in (co-incidentally at Wendover Field in Nevada: where the Enola Gay and her crew practiced delivering the atomic bomb) they orbit around each other like giant mechanical dragonfly's.They did a truly amazing job making this movie.I don't think they could remake a better movie than this.The piloting and potentially deadly maneuvers in addition to a heart rending story about "remembering the best times of your lives" make this a great movie. There's also a subplot of a May/December, unfulfilled romance between the very sexy Harry and the very cute "22" (played by Elayne Heilveil). I'm convinced that in the scene where she asks Harry (David Janssen) if SHE CAN KISS HIM: the young Ms. Heilveil nearly passed-out and probably got just a little bit wet! She first says the kiss definitely doesn't feel like her dorky fiancé's. It definitely doesn't feel like kissing her father. Then shortly before she practically mounts ol Harry with EYES AS BIG AS SAUCERS, well: YOU'LL JUST HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE.
