In The Terminal I seem to remember a 747 of some sorts - I think UA that the cleaner ran in front of.

Barely known outside Argentina, but by all means add Whisky Romeo Zulu.
Lots of real airliners' footage (mostly LAPA's 737's), day and night, taking off, landing, cruising, taxiing, parked, from outside and from the cockpit.
See trailer:
This movie is about the events that led to the accident of the LAPA's B-737 registration LV-WRZ (hence the name of the movie).
The movie was produced, directed and starred by a former LAPA's B-737 captain, Enrique Piñeyro, who was forced to resign after sending a letter to his own company saying that if LAPA continued operating as they did, an accident was not only possible but unavoidable.
A lot has been speculated as how did he manage to make all these footage of real planes, inside airports, with himself in the cockpit and flying, etc.
Rumor has it that he used his contacts to make those illegally, even during revenue flights (where a friend pilot would let him and another actor seat at the controls). Piñeyro would not admit that, be he would not say how he did either.
At selected performances Piñeyro offered Q&A conferences after the movie. One of the spectators asked him "How did you manage to make those footage?". He just answered, in a mocking tone, "Nah nah nah... I won't tell you that". "Why not?" asked the spectator. "My lawyer doesn't allow me to" was the answer. I was there so nobody had to tell me this.

Oh, and I just heard the black-box recordings of the incident and it was simply horrific to hear the crash at the end...
And to add to your post (if I may...), Piñeyro also directed/produced another film:
Fuerza aérea sociedad anónima , which while having significantly less footage (compared caliber to footage to Whiskey Romeo Zulu), is still (from what I have heard) a decent expose of the the Argentine Air Force's control on the Argentine Airline Industry.
Yet another that I wish to see...Whatever is necessary, is never unwise.

Don't download it from ilegal file share sites (where it is available with subtitles too) because it is, well, as ilegal as the footage.
