Great movie had to find!

One of the funnest movies of all time!
The spoof comedy that set the gold standard for all that followed it, AIRPLANE takes shots at the slew of disaster movies that peppered cinemas in the 70s. When the passengers and crew of a jet are incapacitated due to food poisoning, a rogue pilot (who has a drinking problem and is afraid of flying) must cooperate with his ex-girlfriend turned stewardess to bring the plane to a safe landing. No disaster flick cliche is left unroasted, and the musical score itself takes a less than reverent look at overly melodramatic compositions.

"Comedy Classic!"

Robert Hays, Julie Hagerty and Leslie Nielsen star
in this 1980 comedy. A pilot and a stewardess try
to land a plane full of food poisoned passengers
in this spoof of disaster films. I've always liked
this film and glad to have it on dvd that has good
picture and sound plus neat extras. Definitely get
this comedy classic.

Airplane DVD review - and dont call me Shirley!

For some reason I missed seeing Airplane when it first came out. I was first alerted to this little gem when watching channel 4`s top 100 (or was it 50?) greatest comedy movies of all time. Airplane came in at number 2 on the list.

The next day I grabbed myself a copy on eBay, I have watched it through many times and it still makes me laugh everytime.

If you dont find one of the jokes funny then you only need to wait another 10 seconds before another one comes out and hits you. Leslie Nielson is fantastic in the film, as are the supporting cast.

I honestly think Airplane is one of the best comedy films ever made, which other film contains so many memorable quotes such as:

Dont call me Shirley
I picked a bad day to snop sniffing glue
Tell me Jimmy, have you ever seen a grown man naked?
A hospital....whats that?

In short, if you haven`t seen this timeless classic then go and grab yourself a copy right away but done blame me if you die of laughter!

Looks Like I Picked the Wrong Week to Quit Smoking...

Airplane! is still the best comedy film ever made, even after all these years. It has it all: slapstick, puns, sight gags, big stars, easy-to-follow plot. What more could anyone ask for? No other movie has been quoted more times ("...and don't call me Shirley"). The writing is as crisp and sharp as it was in 1980, when the movie first came out. This is an important addition to any DVD library. Buy it and watch it again and again. I did!

Family Fun for All

This laugh a minute film was bought for a Christmas gift as laughter is the best medicine. The younger generation doesn't even remember Airport, the Hollywood hit of the '70's but that doesn't matter with this parody on such a serious matter as a plane hijacking.
Leslie Nielsen is such a goofy guy in such an innocent way. He seems so dumb and is oblivious to his own stupidity. This movie helps to take off his career into other sensations, which include Airplane 2 and the Naked Gun One and Two. Teach your teens what oldie but goodie is with this classic.
