In keeping with the OP, I'd also say Tora, Tora, Tora and the original Battle of Britain as two of the best WW2 aviation-related movies.
Some more good WW2 aviation ones;
12 O'clock High
Reach for the Sky
Dambusters (good special effects for the time period)
The War Lover
633 Squadron (special effects look a bit cheezy but still a good story)
Sink the Bismark (not really an aviation movie but the Swordfish segments are well done all things considered)
Catch-22 (a weird movie but lots of B-25s)
Spitfire/First of the Few (story of the creation of the Spitfire and it's designer)
Piece of Cake (mini-series)
Dark Blue World (an often overlooked but very well done Czech film, in english, on Spitfire pilots, one of the most expensive Czech movies made and well done).
