all time classic
you will never see a better spoof comedy, this film is awesome.
best line: lorraine, we've got a problem, we have to get to the hospital.
the hospital, what is it?
its a big building with doctors but thats not important right now
Airplane!
The Zucker brothers' riotous send-up of 50s B-movies and 70s disaster flicks not only spawned a whole legion of sight-gag-laden spoofs but also introduced the world to the concept of Leslie Nielsen as a comic actor
Hays and Hagerty ham things up splendidly as traumatised veteran fighter pilot Theodore 'Ted' Striker and kooky but self-possessed stewardess Elaine Dickinson, the estranged couple who have to save a planeload of passengers when an on-board outbreak of food poisoning strikes. But the plot really serves as a thin framework on which to hang a volley of comic potshots at everything from Saturday Night Fever to From Here To Eternity, and deliver a string of hilariously strait-laced performances from the likes of Bridges and Stack.
On rep...
