This is one of the funniest movie of all time. I must have seen it 100 times as I know most of the lines. Even after seeing it many times you still find something funny to you missed.

Airplane from the team of Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker is a hilarious treat. It takes place on a, er, airplane and has every comic trope available on board. Robert hays and Julie Hagerty play ex-lovers who bump into each other on the plane amidst chaos. Everything from gaffes to slapstick humor works like a charm and the presence of Leslie Neilson and Llyod Bridges only adds to the sheen. This film is considered a classic of the genre today and if you love comedy than there is no better option than to sit with a copy of Airplane tonight.

Some people hate planes because of 9/11. If a security checked plane ride scares you, then you definitely don't want to be on the plane in "Airplane!" The plot follows a plane with a stupid pilot who ends up nearly crashing the plane. Well, he has an inflatable co-pilot, and when he deflated, the air hole is at his crotch area. He also serves fish that makes everyone sick. This is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen, and even the AFI(American Film Institute) names it the 10th greatest comedy of all time. My favorite part involves a little girl who needs to go to the hospital and her IV is pulled while a woman is singing to her. There is also a man who tells boring stories...so boring that the people who hear them actually take their lives to avoid hearing them. That wouldn't be funny in reality, but here it works. I could tell you more funny parts, but you should see it yourself. You surely won't be disappointed. And don't call me Shirley!

I liked this movie as a kid but just watching it last night, it doesn't hold up the way the Naked Gun series does. It's much slower paced than today's movies and a lot of the context is gone. Reading through the Trivia section, I can see there is a lot of context missing today that audiences would have originally gotten the joke too.Unfortunately, Airplane suffers from the same scenario that a lot of original endeavors do. It was very original and fresh at the time when it came out. But since then, so many movies have copied it's style that it has now become the movie that feels out of date.There were still some funny parts where I was laughing but the movie just tends to drag on. It's like a lot of comedies where the first 30 minutes is funny but then you're just waiting for it to end.
