Favourite movie flying scenes

[mooner112]

Just watched Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix on Sky Movies and saw the great 1 min scene where Harry and some fellow wizarRAB fly along the Thames.

It reminded me of some other great sequences such as the classic Superman and Lois flying 5 mins scene over New York from the original Superman movie that was repeated in Superman Returns.

Anyone else recall any great flying scenes in movies that weren't aided by machines and can you locate them on YouTube?

Flying scenes not aided by machines? Isn't that called "falling"?

The opening sequence to Moonraker...

 

[Gaga_Gurl]

I'm talking about superhuman or magical flying.

Yes, forgot the Moonraker sequence...and one of my fave films too.

Oh yes and the scene's are also helped by dramatic music.

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

Well a lot of films there Grimm with some good flights. Don't think that the Superman sequence has been surpassed though.

 

[periwinkle135]

Although I'm a fan of Superman, I think that the flying scenes in The Matrix are brilliant.

 

[haley p]

Superman is the neo epitome of non-tech human flight, after archaic tales of winged angels and demons. the Boy Who Could Fly and Boogiemen should have a special mention.

 

[chicken doggie]

The bike chase in ET.

Lots of flying dreams in Brazil.

Umm. Peter Pan / Hook

 

[sameshxtdifferntdayy2011]

Oh God. How could I forget ET? A cinema classic!

 

[This Is My Name]

ET-The bike scene across the moon-a classic cinematic scene

 

[Magureanu]

The Snowman
The Big Lebowski

 

[Charleen R]

Nearly forgot the scene in the Fantastic Four sequel where the Human Torch chases the Silver Surfer. That was used as a trailer.

 

[Tiffster]

The Quidditch scene in HP and the chamber of secrets i.e. movie 2 - love the chase with the bludger - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fe_BecE68DM

 

[ѕтєρнαиιє]

No, that is throwing yourself at the ground and missing!

 

[hawaiian local]

'Falling, with Style!' Toy Story!

Superman and The Snowman are my favourites though!

 

[Taybah K]

That's a great shout.

 

[CindyComesBack]

Agree! All 3 scenes are classic movie moments.
