Nope to all of the above.

It stars Clara Bow, Charles "Buddy" Rogers and Richard Arlen. Gary Cooper appears in a small role which helped launch his career in Hollywood.

Acclaimed for its technical prowess and realism upon release, the film became the yardstick against which future aviation films were measured, mainly because of its realistic air-combat sequences. It went on to win the first Academy Award for Best Picture at the first annual Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences award ceremony in 1929, the only silent film to do so. It also won the Academy Award for Best Engineering Effects (Roy Pomeroy). [...] was one of the first to show two men kissing, and also one of the first widely released films to show nudity. In 1997, [...] was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant", and the film was re-released to Cinemark theaters to coincide with the 85th Anniversary for a limited run in May 2012. The film was re-released again for its 90th anniversary in 2017. The Academy Film Archive preserved [...] in 2002.

Airport

But not Posiedon Adventure or Towering Infero like I thought at first.

[Tahlvin]

Yes!

Thomas M. Pryor of The New York Times called the film "a grand and glorious entertainment" that "captures the true spirit of the novel." Variety praised the film for its "sumptuous" set pieces and "a virtual tour de force" performance by Newton.

[Zombie]

I feel like I should know the actor but I'm drawing a complete blank.

[Zombie]

Obviously

[poorpete]

Right? Newton. Can't figure out a Newton.

If it didn't include Newton I would say, and I guess I still will say:

Gone with the Wind

[Zen]

I'll just guess:

Beach Blanket Bingo

and we can get another clue!

[Cazmonster]

Life went sideways yesterday. I will get a clue sometime today.

[Mike]

Newton is probably going to be Thandie Newton. Talented British actress who played Woody Harrelson's girlfriend in Solo.

Sadly, I can't think of anything else that I've seen her in. So I give this to the rest of you until the next clue.

[poorpete]

Oh, duh, I think I know it, but I'll wait until the guesses are reset. Or I'll try to get Mrs. Darcs to guess it.

[El Jefe]

If it is Thandie Newton, the biggest film I can think of with her that had reviews like that would be Crash.

[Phoebe]

Wasn't she also in Mission Impossible ii or iii or something?

[Zen]

He probably means ones that were good...
