I'm tempted to suggest 'Pushing Tin' but that doesn't have any TWR/APP co-ordination. A better film for this would be 'Crisis in Mid Air' in which there is quite a bit.
Course if you want absolute non-fiction try 'Challenger 604' on Discovery. It shows a cockpit view of a flight by a Challenger bizjet, ending with vectoring into Farnborough then landing off a PAR.
A young lady called Sally did the vectoring and I did the talkdown, one of my 'specials' to touchdown; when I say 'radar touchdown NOW' you see a puff of smoke from his tyres as he touches down. I'd like to think it was my perfect talkdown but I suspect it was just editing.
Neither Sally nor myself were aware it was being filmed and in spite of it being shown hundreds of times, we've never got any royalties
