I very much like the film Flight of the Intruder, which features A-6 Intruders, and was wondering if there exists a good Hollywood drama featuring F-4 Phantoms.
I'm not sure about F-4 Phantoms. But I remember Ghostbusters had "a focused, non-terminal repeating phantasm, or a Class 5 full-roaming vapor. Real nasty one, too!"
I remember Hamburger Hill had a friendly fire incident. But as an expensive plane to fly compared to other types available before CGI F-4's really weren't used that much.

Such Apocalypse Now.....the jets were F-5's.
"Threads" had a F-4 taking it when the warheads landed.
In the TV show, Airwolf, "Moffett's Ghost", there a shot of two Navy F-4s (in the bungled scene of taking off as SPECAT Jaguars). OKAY, that footage I saw again in a movie in the late 80s, I think it was Wavelength. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086571/?ref_=tt_urv / .

It's too bad there's not really a movie like Flight of the Intruder or Top Gun that features F-4's. Such a beautiful and interesting aircraft, and a very different role than the A-6, since the A-6 was a light bomber and avoided dogfights altogether.
In the original Dogfights 2-hour premiere on The History Channel, there's a segment about Duke Cunningham and his epic dogfight over the skies of Vietnam. And there's this episode that I saw years ago:
On TV Black Sheep Squadron infamously took a 8th Fighter Wing MiG ambush mission by then Colonel Robin Olds and Tuskegee Airman Chappie James done by F-4s in Vietnam and pretended that then Major Boyington lead it in WWII in Corsairs.
