The topic of Scorsese’s “Aviator” has prompted me to add this title to our slowly-growing list of underrated films. My favorite scenes: Tucker’s meeting with Senator Ferguson (played by Lloyd Bridges) and his late-night rendezvous with Howard Hughes (played by Dean Stockwell) in the Spruce Goose hangar. No one plays the naif more charmingly than Jeff Bridges (“Starman,” “Tucker,” “The Big Lebowski”).

But, yes, Tucker is a good flick.
