Are both Flight of the Navigator and Popeye considered films?
yes
Popeye (film)
Popeye is a 1980 American musical comedy film directed by Robert Altman.
 It is a live-action film adaptation of E. C. Segar's "Popeye" comic strip and stars Robin Williams as Popeye the Sailor Man and Shelley Duvall as Olive Oyl.
Flight of the Navigator
Flight of the Navigator is a 1986 American science fiction adventure film directed by Randal Kleiser and written by Mark H. Baker, Michael Burton and Matt MacManus.
 The film stars Joey Cramer as David Freeman, a 12-year-old boy who is abducted by an alien spaceship and finds himself caught in a world that has changed around him.
Observer Badge
The Observer Badge is a military badge of the United States armed forces dating from the First World War.
 The badge was issued to co-pilots, navigators, and flight support personnel who had received a variation in the training required for the standard Pilot's Badge.
 The Observer Badge survived through the Second World War and into the 1950s, at which time the concept of an Observer Badge was phased out in favor of the modern Aircrew Badge and Navigator-Observer Badges.
 In addition to wings for Naval Aviators and Naval Flight Officers, the United States Navy still maintains an "Observer Badge" which is issued to flight-qualified mission specialists, such as a select number of meteorologists and intelligence officers in both the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps.
 The U.S. Air Force awards its USAF Observer Badge, which is identical to the USAF Navigator Badge, to Air Force officers who have qualified as NASA Space Shuttle Mission Specialists, have flown an actual mission aboard the shuttle and/or the International Space Station and who are otherwise not previously aeronautically rated as an Air Force pilot or navigator. Marine Aerial Navigator insignia
The Marine Aerial Navigator insignia is a military badge of the United States Marine Corps that is issued to Marine Corps enlisted personnel who complete flight training as a navigator on board Marine Corps aircraft.
 The Marine Aerial Navigator insignia is not issued to U.S. Naval aviation personnel and is the only independent aviation insignia issued to the Marine Corps. Harold Gatty
Harold Charles Gatty (5 January 1903 – 30 August 1957) was an Australian navigator and aviation pioneer.
 Charles Lindbergh called Gatty the "Prince of Navigators".
 In 1931, Gatty served as navigator, along with pilot Wiley Post, on the flight which set the record for aerial circumnavigation of the world, flying a distance of 15,747 miles (24,903 km) in a Lockheed Vega named the "Winnie Mae", in 8 days, 15 hours and 51 minutes. Alexander Vasilyevich Belyakov
Alexander Vasilyevich Belyakov (Russian: Алекса́ндр Васи́льевич Беляко́в ; 21 December 1897 [O.S. 9 December] – 28 November 1982) was a Soviet flight navigator who, together with command pilot Valery Chkalov and co-pilot Georgy Baydukov, set a record for the longest uninterrupted flight in 1936 and made the first non-stop flight across the North Pole, flying from Moscow to Vancouver, Washington. Popeye the Sailor (animated cartoons)
Popeye the Sailor is an American animated series of comedy short films based on the titular comic strip character created by E. C. Segar.
 In 1933, Max and Dave Fleischer's Fleischer Studios adapted Segar's characters into a series of "Popeye the Sailor" theatrical cartoon shorts for Paramount Pictures.
 The plotlines in the animated cartoons tended to be simpler than those presented in the comic strips, and the characters slightly different.
 A villain, usually Bluto, makes a move on Popeye's "sweetie," Olive Oyl.
 The villain clobbers Popeye until he eats spinach, giving him superhuman strength.
 Thus empowered, the sailor makes short work of the villain. Fred Noonan
Frederick Joseph "Fred" Noonan (born April 4, 1893; declared missing July 2, 1937 and dead June 20, 1938), was an American flight navigator, sea captain and aviation pioneer who first charted many commercial airline routes across the Pacific Ocean during the 1930s.
 He was last seen in Lae, New Guinea, on July 2, 1937, on the last land stop with famed aviator Amelia Earhart (1897-1937), as her navigator when they disappeared somewhere over the Central Pacific Ocean during one of the last legs of their attempted pioneering round-the-world flight. Flight cadet
A flight cadet is a military or civilian occupational title that is held by someone who is in training to operate an airplane.
 The trainee does not need to become a pilot, as flight cadets may also learn to serve as a bombardier, navigator, or flight engineer. Jimmy &quot;Popeye&quot; Doyle
Detective Jimmy "Popeye" Doyle is a fictional character portrayed by actor Gene Hackman in the films "The French Connection" (1971) and its sequel, "French Connection II" (1975), and by Ed O'Neill in the 1986 television film "Popeye Doyle".
 Hackman won the Academy Award for Best Actor for his performance in "The French Connection".
 The character is based on a real-life New York City police detective, Eddie Egan, who also appeared in the film as Walt Simonson, Popeye's supervisor.
 Popeye, as played by Hackman in "The French Connection", is ranked number 44 as a hero on the AFI's 100 Years...100 Heroes and Villains list.
