The Flight of the Phoenix, available on DVD, has the following virtues:
(1) It is a film with an authentic hero.
(2) It shows how real heroes actually behave, what real heroes actually
do, and, as a consequence, what "heroic virtues" actually are.
(3) It shows why mankind needs heroes.
(4) It shows how mankind treats heroes, and, as a consequence, why the
survival of mankind is by no means guaranteed.
I consider The Flight of the Phoenix to be the greatest film ever made.
