I was reading Delayed's article in Airliner.net about United's 75th birthday, and he mentioned some movies United has been featured in.
So I thought it would be fun to start a thread where we can try to name as many movies as possible with United featured.
I'll start with one of my favorites. 1967's Guess Who's Coming to Dinner, starring Sidney Poitier, Spencer Tracy, and Katherine Hepburn. This film starts out with a lengthy sequence showing a United DC-8, with the old blue-stripe livery, soaring across the screen, before the title is even shown. (If my memory serves.) The plane then lands at SFO. Later on, an old 727 (which may have even been a -100 series) blocks-in (also at SFO).
What others can you name?
