I'm going to Film Forum tomorrow, 2/10/12 to see a restored digitally projected version of the 1927 William Wellman classic, Wings.

For anyone unfamiliar, Wings is the first film to have ever won the Oscar for Best Picture.  It also has the best air combat sequences ever seen in a motion picture, Top Gun and Star Wars included.

The story follows two friends, Buddy Rodgers & William Arlen, from the American heartland to aerial battlefields over World War One France.  Clara Bow also stars.
