Question
the films about a group of pilots crashed in the desert and they dont realize they are dead.as there bodies are discovered they start disappearing one by one.just cannot remember the title and who stars.

Answer
I've had several questions over the years regarding this particular plot, probably because there were a couple of films that used it.  The first is Sole Survivor (1970), a TV-movie starring Richard Basehart, which is probably what you are remembering.  There was also an episode of Twilight Zone starring Robert Cummings with a similar plot.  I have also had people who were remembering "The Mission," an episode of Amazing Stories from Steven Spielberg. But I'm pretty sure that's not the one you're thinking of.

Assuming it's Sole Survivor, you'll find it listed here:
