It IS the funniest movie of all time!

Ted: "Surely you can't be serious..."
Dr. Rumack: "I am serious...and don't call me Shirley"

Airplane! (known as Flying High! in Australia) is cinema's seminal spoof movie. It was decades ago that the capable, imaginative duo of David Zucker, Jim Abrahams and Jerry Zucker (ZAZ) wrote and directed what became, through my eyes, the funniest movie of all time. Up until 1980 when... read more

A classic

I'm pretty sure I saw this one back then when I was a kid but since it is such a classic, I thought it was time for a re-watch. Personally, I think one of the interesting things about this movie is that it is a great test to know if you actually enjoy this genre of parodies. Indeed, even though it might not be the first one, it was and is the best one ever made. So, if you watch this flick and you... read more

Stupid and Dated, But Still Gives Me th

Airplane was probably the first Big Budget Spoof, and is still a classic. Many of the spoofs are dated, and probably will make no sense to anyone under the age of 40 (Here to Eternity, Coffee Commercial, etc.), and some of it is very politically incorrect, but the movie is still worth a look. The Saturday Night Fever spoof is way too long, I'll admit. But this movie still gives me the giggles e... read more

An airplane crew takes ill. Surely the only person capable of landing the plane is an ex-pilot afraid to fly. But don't call him Shirley.

" Watched April 23rd - HBO - Rewatch "There's no reason to become alarmed and we hope you enjoy the rest of your flight, by the way - is there anyone on board who knows how to fly a plane?" - Elaine Dickinson The last movie I watched in Philadelphia, in which I actually stayed awake for the whole thing, was my favorite comedy of all time - might seem an odd choice to watch just before I get on a plane, but I'm weird like that - and it will keep me laughing at any bumps along the way during my f"

Movie Reviews (part 5) (50 movies items)

" The Ups: Grandfather to all parody. It throws up as much slapstick and fun that is humanly possible. The Downs: Some of it's humor has lost it's appeal as the films it parodies is not that big classics and have left people's memory for a long time ago."

" Airplane! Directors Jim Abrahams and David Zucker went on to find great success in the genre, Airplane! that really set the tone for their entire career, and arguably paved the way for the success of many of the modern films."

Airplane!

“I'm really sorry to say to myself that I didn't find this film all that funny. I really just couldn't believe it. After reading what the film is about, after finding out that the hilarious Leslie Nielsen himself was in this, I really could not imagine myself not enjoying this film, sadly I really didn't think it was all that funny. The jokes were incredibly unhumorous; the jokes were basically just turning jokey sayings into literal happenings, I did not think it was funny, not my type of 'humour' in this case. The same style of jokes kept being told, in fact, I think those were the only 'jokes' that were told. And the silly love story or whatever in the film, just made it even worse. The rest of the jokes were rather boring, I really didn't crack a smile, and to a certain extent I do have” read more
