The Monday List

A Mad, Mad Cannonball Rat Race In Their Flying Machines: Aerial Edition

Look to the skies! The Planet Sad Bank Holiday movie chase sequence returns yet again - only this time the action (such as it is) is taking place in the air. Sinking swiftly to earth are:
Some magnificent men in their flying machines, obviously
The Millenium Falcon
Concorde, which is of course much smaller in real life than people expect
A couple joining the Mile High Club in the first class toilets
Dumbo, holding a mouse in military jacket in his trunk
The Red Arrows, dispensing red, white and blue smoke as they go
Airwolf
George Clooney and Sandra Bullock, stranded somewhere above the earth because their spaceship's floated away, crying
The Montgolfier Brothers in their hot air balloon
Jimbo out of Jimbo and the Jet SetHarry Potter on his broomstick, doing something involving quidditch, probably
The Spruce Goose, piloted by fat-faced manchild Leonardo diCaprio
An air stewardess who's taken over at the controls because the flight crew have all got food poisoning
Scooch, dressed unamusingly as flight attendants and getting nul points in the Eurovision Song Contest, crying
The Red Max in the Crimson Haybailer
A flying saucer which could just be a hubcap dangling from a piece of string
Thunderbird 2
Sabrina the Teenage Witch on her flying vacuum cleaner
A Zeppelin
Led Zeppelin on their private jet, then
Bruce Dickinson out of Iron Maiden, showing off the fact he's got a pilot's licence, while fencing and writing a novel at the same time, probably
Everyone who's ever tried to fly via Ryanair, waiting in the departure lounge because the plane never turned up, crying
