Flight of the Phoenix is one of my all time favorite movies. I remember it was playing once with the original Batman movie (Burgess Meredith, Caesar Romero, Adam West, Burt Ward) and my brother and I sat through three showings of Flight of the Phoenix and two showings of Batman at the Grand Lake Theater in Oakland.

Basically 12 hours of watching two movies. Back in the day they just ran the movies over and over. I think that was where the phrase "this is where I came in" originated.

Ernest Borgnine and Jimmy Stewart stole the show in that movie.
