"The Blue Max." I love the scene where parvenu pilot Stachel/George Peppard asks the other German ace, "You have 18 victories, but three more unconfirmed? So you really have 21!" Willi, the Prussian nobleman and his counterpart, smiles and says patiently, "No. I have 18." There's an entire philosophy of life and world behind the latter remark. One which the rest of the movie (being Hollywood) does its best to sneer at.
