I don't know what you are looking for, but in the movie The Cain Mutinity (1954), the protaganists visited Admiral Nimitz on a CV. The film was done after WWII and the carrier used was the USS Franklin, as I remember.

There's another Korean war movie called "Men of the Fighting Lady" starring Van Johnson. Not a bad flick but I'm not sure if you can get it on DVD. Still hanging on to my VHS player until it is.

There's also "A Wing and a Prayer" starring Don Ameche and you'll recognize Harry Morgan as well. Has some great shots of Avengers and Helldivers taking off and landing although the film takes place prior and during the battle of Midway.

I guess it depends on what you consider an Aircraft Carrier Movie.

Are you including any movie that includes scenes of aircraft carriers or does the movie have to be about the carrier?

I would venture that I mean the aircraft carrier is endemic to the
plot.

Thirty Seconds over Tokyo (1944)

There are a few carrier scenes in The Hunt for Red October.

I could mention Pearl Har----no I won't.

Flat Top and Wing and A Prayer were two excellent carrier movies
