Pros: Funny dialogue, funny gags and very funny movie Cons: None, but surely not for everyone. No, it's for everyone and don't call me Shirley.
What's the funniest movie of all time? Ishtar? From Justin To Kelly? Nothing But Trouble? Surely, you can't be serious? Hmm, well, if none of those, I think a solid number one is probably Airplane! It's not my favorite film of all time, nor what I ...
Pros: Irreverent mix of one-liners and a spoof of bad airplane-in-peril films; Leslie Nielsen Cons: None
Question: What happens when three comedy writer-directors known for their spoofs of late night commercials set up a videocassette recorder to tape all the cheap-o ads that air after 11 PM and end up getting not only shills for local car ...
Pros: The movie is still hilarious, and the DVD extras merit the upgrade. Cons: The title of this DVD!
Leave it to three Jewish Midwesterners to make the satire vogue once again in 1980. With the release of AIRPLANE! (Paramount Pictures; rated PG for sexual and drug-related humor, brief nudity and some language; 88 mins.; released theatrically on ...
All right, I'll level with you. This movie is CORNY with a capital C. But you know what? I love it anyway. The basic story is one similar to a play I once read in a seventh grade reading book. I can't remember the name of it, but basically it was about a...
Pros: Great comedic script, well executed laughs, perfect casting Cons: Wish more spoofs were as funny as this one
They called them ZAZ team, the Zucker brother and Jim Abrahams, who brought us Kentucky Fried Movie in the early 70s are back to direct what is arguably the funniest spoof movie of all time. The script is primarily a word for word retelling of the 1950s ...
I’ve often said that comedy could get away with a little more because we accept the fact that we’re watching the movie for the jokes and not the plot. I have to admit that Airplane! does pretty well with its plot. The movie starts with Ted Striker ...
Pros: insanely funny Cons: maybe a little too insane for some
The plot Washed-up ex-fighter-pilot Ted Striker (Robert Hays) boards a passenger plane to Chicago to win back his estranged love, stewardess Elaine Dickinson(Julie Hagerty). Unfortunately, a batch of bad fish incapacitates the ...
Pros: One of the most ridiculous comedies of all time. Cons: None.
From the hands of geniuses comes a movie of such epic proportions that it would forever change the way audiences look at the celluloid art form. Alright, maybe "epic proportions" is overstating it just a bit, but "Airplane!" remains a monumental film, ...
Pros: Tons and tons of humor Cons: not much besides humor
By far the best of the various Abrahams/Zucker/Zucker films, this is the one that started it all. I can’t remember any second of this film that doesn’t have a gag, and even after viewing it twenty times I still find jokes I missed. I label this as five ...
Pros: Nonstop laughs, excellent cast, most quotable movie ever Cons: It has to end at some point
I'll spare you the quotations, you probably know them all already. Airplane! is without a doubt the most quotable movie I have ever seen. No comedy movie stands up to as many repeat viewings as Airplane!. If you are one of the lucky few who has yet to ...
Pros: Jokes, cast. Cons: Weak plot (but you'll forget it due to laughing so much), fake looking airplane
"Ted Striker" (Robert Hays) has tracked down his ex-girlfriend "Elaine Dickinson" (Julie Hagerty) to the airport she works out of, and purchases a ticket on her flight to talk to her despite having a fear of flying since flying in the war. While on board ...
Pros: Hilarious from beginning to end. Great writing. Clever sight gags and jokes. Cons: None.
"Airplane" is, without any doubt in my mind, THE funniest movie I have ever seen. It's a constant barrage of sight gags, plays on words, and other jokes of such ridiculousness and absurdity that it makes you hurt from laughing so much. And when I say...
Pros: Funny through and through Cons: You might miss some jokes the first time around
"Airplane!" is, was and always shall be the master of spoof movies. It is single-handedly responsible for literally inventing a sub-genre of comedy. It is the ultimate Silly Movie. A satire of the disaster movies of the 1970s, particularly the "Airport" ...
Pros: Tons of sight gags and movie spoofs Cons: Too short!
I think I'll have to live to be 90 before I catch every movie spoofed in "Airplane". That's fine by me, because I think it's the best comedy I've ever seen, along with "Heathers". Don't bother eating any popcorn during this flick,...
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 ...More at Family Video
The persons and events in this film are fictitious--fortunately! A masterpiece of off-the-wall comedy, Airplane! features Robert Hays as an ex-fighter...More at Buy.com
