Airplane!

[Fab Foodie]

Blimey, 40 years old. Still one of the funniest and most quotable films after all this time....

Interestingly I'd always assumed that 'Police Squad' series predated Airplane! but in fact started 2 years after - every day is a school day.....

Though, it was preceded by (note similarity of some of the plot-lines) by: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Big_Bus

What’s your vector Victor.

 

[Joey Shabadoo]

He's not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy

 

[Archie_tect]

It's big white building with sick people in it, but that's not important right now...

I don’t have a VHS.

As for that scene in the cockpit with Peter Graves asking the young boy if he'd ever been in a Turkish bath or seen s grown man naked. I doubt that would go out today.

 

[Lullabelle]

Awesome film, never tire of watching it, silly humour

 

[Drago]

Get me Rex Kramer!

 

[raleighnut]

Pure genius

 

[Darius_Jedburgh]

Bombing the storage tanks at Diaquiri.
What a waste.

A brilliant film, possibly even better once you know what is coming.

I like the pressmen running into the phone booths and flattening it.
