red stars in Sonic Generations[edit]

Is there a website that helps us where to find the red stars in Sonic Generations for Classic Sonic and Modern Sonic?--Donmust90 (talk) 01:41, 13 January 2013 (UTC)Donmust90[reply]

There is. --Jayron32 01:44, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Airplane themed movies[edit]

Are there any airplane themed movies that don't involve the plane crashing? How about any emergencies such as terrorists, a passenger landing the plane, etc. The holy grail, I think, would be a airplane centered movie that you could show uncensored on an airplane flight without having people getting worried.

The Spirit of St. Louis (film) comes to mind. But even a film like that is appealing for the same reason other flight films are: They involve people in perilous situations. The whole point of staging a film on an airplane is to create a situation where people are confined and in great danger and basically helpless. Otherwise you don't have a bankable movie. Where people are shown flying without incident, it's usually just a piece of the plot to get characters from one place to another - much as was once done with trains or other types of transportation. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 14:56, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hitchcock used to say that if you have a group of people sitting around a table talking, that's not a movie. But if you have a time-bomb hidden under the table, then you've got a movie. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 14:59, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Aviation films might contain aircraft-themed movies without aircraft crashes.

Two of John J. Nance's novels were converted into TV mini-series: Medusa's Child and Pandora's Box. If you enjoy reading techno-thrillers, you may enjoy some of his books as well, many of which (but not all) are based on commercial airliners—perilous situations of course, but no plane crashes that I can recall. His book Orbit takes the reader into low earth orbit, where the astronaut loses communication with the earth. – Kerαunoςcopia^◁_galaxies 19:54, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Snakes on a Plane doesn't involve an actual crash. Catch Me If You Can has a bit of flying in it, and no real peril to the plane, although it's not really an "airplane themed movie". Warofdreams talk 13:50, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Crash or not, it involves people helplessly confined in a small space, which is the typical theme of airplane-related movies. If you were driving down the road and discovered snakes in your car, you would probably just stop and get out. Not much of a movie there. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 14:04, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Similarly "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet" and The Horror at 37,000 Feet. (Any further bids?) —Tamfang (talk) 23:00, 28 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Basically what I figured. Thanks all! Dismas|^(talk) 02:08, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

How about Wings (film)? Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 01:31, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Also Air Force One (film). Hemoroid Agastordoff (talk) 04:43, 19 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Flight Plan ? If it's not your kid you had a perfectly fine time on the flight .Hotclaws (talk) 08:50, 19 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
