Flight features a serious candidate for the most thrilling plane crash ever committed to celluloid.

The first 30 minutes of Flight feature one of the most thrilling and disturbing aviation catastrophes ever committed to celluloid.

There's also plenty of picturesque animal action, ranging from jolly elephant antics to the most sanitised horse death scene ever committed to celluloid.

Either way, when this masterpiece is committed to celluloid, the director would be well advised to shoot Keane's tantrums and triumphs in black and white.
