The Horror at 37,000 Feet 1973 ★★★★
Maybe it's the special effects, or the setting or the fact that it was made as a TV movie, but this felt like a precursor to The Langoliers.
That said, it was quite well made and I liked the pace and the cast. Chuck Connors stars as the gruff pilot who for some reason does not slap anyone over the course of this film.
Funnily enough, for later generations the bigger star in this movie would be William Shatner. Even though... his... delivery here... is very... un... Shatner. Also drunk bitter priest William Shatner is a-ma(!)zing. That alone is worth the price of admission, not to mention his bickering with his wife Rosemary (yeah, she has a different name, but I'm calling her Rosemary; you'll see why). Also fun to see Paul Winfield as posh doctor. Or the man who went on to play Jeremiah Smith as one of the leads.
Very entertaining and well made for tv movie means. And it's on Youtube.
