Not only does Flight star everybody's favourite Denzel but it received two Oscar nominations, for original screenplay and for Denzel himself.
What's it all about?
Following his normal routine Captain 'Whip' Whitaker takes off in his passenger jet drunk and high from the previous night. However on this doomed flight a mechanical failure leads him to take unorthodox emergency action resulting in an investigation into the circumstances of the flight.
The Good:
- The terrifying flight sequence
- Denzel's intense performance - deserved the Oscar nomination (ultimately beaten by Daniel Day Lewis' Lincoln
- Gripping character drama
- Whip taking a toke of oxygen from the emergency supply before taking off!
The Bad:
- Errmm.....doesn't make you want to get on a plane for a while?

Stand-out moment:

What my wife would say: Watched it, 'glad he did the right thing in the end'.
