    Happy Flight - Movie recommendation

    I had a lot of fun watching this Japanese aviation theme movie - "Happy Flight" last night. It is about events happened on an ANA flight, involving flight crew, cabin crew, ground crew, air traffic controller and even airport bird chaser. Check out the official website for a trailer:

    Looks quite comedic. Is it?

      This is the trailer:

      This seemingly high budget film involving NH crew was released in the same year (2008) as another film called "Flying Rabbits". The latter is apparently a story about a FA working for JL (a sponsor of the film) who's forced to join the JL female basketball team, JAL Rabbits. Here's the trailer for what I'm sure will be another cinema classic :

      And if the above isn't enough to satisfy an interest in Japanese airlines, there's also the 2006 11-part TV series Attention Please (which you can buy on DVD or find on Youtube) about a rebel training to be JL crew. There were also special movie length episodes in 2007 and 2008 set in Hawaii and Australia respectively.

                It's an OK movie. Been playing on NH for the past year, but it appears to have been pulled.

                OT: glad to see NH playing Star Trek and the Matrix trilogy.
