Airplane!

Watching this again, it is bloomin' funny :D

The thing that got me is I realised after the second time around watching it the sound to the aircraft was that of a turboprop :D

Thanks for the tip (I think). Unfortunately £5.99 somehow became £44 at the checkout.

Now anyone know where I can get some willpower cheap?

You as well. I went to get the Airplane DVD but ended up spending £40. Would have been £65 if I'd ordered some Stereophonics albums as well.:D

As for cheap willpower, wasn't that in the sale as well? Normally £14.99 now £4.99?:p

"Ever been in a plane before?"
"No sir, i've never been in a plane before!"
"Ever...seen... a grown man naked?!"


Haha, best ever! :D

"looks like i picked the wrong week to quit drinking, looks like i picked the wrong week to quit smoking, looks like i picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue, looks like i picked the wrong week to quit amphetamines" etc :D

i lent someone my copy and never got it back :(

this is becoming a bit of a spoiler thread now :p
 
From Airplane 2 :-

Lawyer: Doctor, can you give me your impression of Mr Striker.
Doctor: I'm sorry I don't do impressions, my field of expertise is in psychiatry.

Also William Shatner talking on the "monitor", cracks me up every time.

the moonbase with the endless panels of flashy lights and buttons that do nothing cracks me up :D
 
I saw this at the cinema back in about 1982. My dad took me to see Life of Brian but Airplane came on first unexpectedly, turns out it was a double feature presentation, who remembers them? Both films were classic, would love to see them on the big screen again. Also, it always annoys me when they show this film on the telly they always seem to edit out a certain bouncy 3 second segment during the panic scene, just after the "Oh and btw does anyone know how to fly a plane?" line.
 
"Looks like i picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue...."

A quite superb film. Always comes either 1st or 2nd to Life of Brian as the funniest film ever, and rightly so.
I love the way on all the external shots they have the sound of a propeller plane over the model of the jet.
I think they showed "Zero Hour" over christmas on which the film is basically based, you cannot watch a disaster film after watching Airplane.
 
yahh it turned up this morning. By looking on the back of the box i didnt realise it was THAT old :(

Hope this doesnt make it not as funny for me lol

Just because a movie is old doesn't mean it loses comedic value, the Marx Brother's Duck Soup is almost 75 years old and it still cracks me up

"Yesterday I shot an elephant in my pyjamas"

"What he was doing in my pyjamas I'll never know"

Classic!
 
I`m a great fan of the Zucker brothers.

I remember one night watching Top Secret on tv.. It was years ago. My cousin, who I lived with came home from a night out and started to watch it with me. It was only 15 or minutes into the film.

Needless to say we were both in absolute hysterics. That was a funny film.

Airplane, top secret, Police squad and the Naked guns series are some of the funniest film to date.

Films like Hot shots and Repossesed etc just got repetative. L Neilson is a funny guy and its a shame he is cast in such films all the time. Most are crap..Hes funny and good in them but the script and direction are not very good.

All time classic.. Lots of lines in that film, alas I not seen it for a LONG time. Might have to get it one day.
