My favourite film of all time is Viv Stanshall's Sir Henry at Rawlinson End.

I'd never heard of this movie before but after reading about it on here I watched it on YouTube the other night and it is intriguing, it's either madness or genius, I'll have to watch it again to decide which!

I've always worn the seat belt loosely buckled for over twenty years after hearing of an acident when an autopilot was accidentally disconnected and a passenger was killed when the aircraft violently pitched down. I forget the airline but I think it was an MD11 aircraft.
