    Airplane is a great spoof movie with funny gags around each corner! The plot is quite simple, a young man (Ted) an ex-war pilot follows his ex-girlfriend (Elaine) onto the plane that she is working on as an air hostess. The havoc starts when the flight crew and many of the passengers fall ill with food poisining. Fortunately Ted is there to fly the plane down but he is their only hope and it's an entirely different kind of flying - Altogether! "IT'S AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT....!" Don't miss the micky-takes of serious and scary films. And definetely don't miss the gag at the end of the credits.

    This is classic comedy at its best! Every gag, joke, and silly situation is hilarious! A man named Ted Striker, who use to fly during the war is trying to regain his girlfriend, Elaine, who now wants nothing to do with him. He's so desperate that he boards the plane that Elaine is a stewardess on. During dinner, a lot of passengers get sick, including the pilots. Can Ted overcome his fear of flying and land the plane? I highly recommend AIRPLANE!!!!

    I think this was the funniest movie ever made. In this time of economic problems, people going through stress due to job loss and just the drudgery of everyday life, this movie does the job of distressing you. Everyone knows a line or two from the movie. It is one you can watch over and over again and still laugh. Get a group of people together and have a party. They all know what is coming in the next scene and still laugh hysterically.

    "It looks like I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue." About 30 years after Airplane! first came out, I still find myself using that line a few times a year in regular conversation. Truly an immortal classic flick.

    This movie was hilarious from start to finish. Scary Movie and the like were born from this movie right here. I never saw it in the theater. I, like many of you I'm sure, probably saw this in the very early 80's on HBO while it was being played over and over. If you were 8 or nine (and a male) like me when this was on you all know the "One Scene" that we sat eagerly by the TV waiting for. Now it seems trivial but man, that was the best movie ever then, and it is one of the funniest ever now. A must own.

    A little overrated (I always thought "The Naked Gun" was a lot funnier) , but still good fun today. However, if you don't care for "spoof" movies...stay away.
