Airplane! On last night.... brilliant.

[andy400]

Watched 'Airplane!' for the umpteenth time last night, it never fails to make me laugh - must shirley be amongst the funniest films ever made, just brilliant.

Gems such as:

"I have to go away, we're attacking the fuel depots at Daiquiri at 1800 tomorrow. We'll be coming in from the North, below their radar."
"When will you be back?"
"I can't tell you that, it's classified."


"Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue."


"What can you make out of this?" (Showing a weather chart to colleague)
(Taking chart)"I can make all sorts - a hat; a brooch; a pterodactyl....."

x100. Great, great film.

It truly is a classic . I've also seen it more times than I can remember

[Hereward]

Got it on DVD, must dig it out for a re-run.

"Joey, have you ever been in a Turkish prison?"

[loafer123]

"We've got to get him to a hospital"

"What is it?"

"It's a big building with patients in it, but that's not important right now."

'We have clearance Clarence'
'Roger, Roger..!'
'What's our vector.? Victor.'

[Carl_Spackler]

"There's no reason to become alarmed, and we hope you'll enjoy the rest of your flight. By the way, is there anyone on board who knows how to fly a plane?"

[erolb]

"Surely you can't be serious?"
"I am and don't call me Shirley"

[Marf]

What always has me in stitches is when the guy offers the old lady a swig from his hip flask, she says no and looks at him with utter disgust, then hoovers a massive line of coke

[215cu]

"No, thank you, I take it black, like my men."

Very wrong but very funny.

DARN I missed it again. Right off to buy it tonight.

I dont know why but as a kid I used to laugh like a drain at the Inspector Drebbin/Police Squad series. I'd literally be on the floor gasping. Wierd kid.

Naked Gun! Enough slapstick in it to amuse even the tiniest of tots

(Inside Airport)

Male Announcer: The white zone is for immediate unloading passangers only. There is no stopping in the red zone.

Female Annoucer: The white zone is for immediate unloading passangers only. There is no stopping in the red zone.

MA: The white zone is for immediate unloading passangers only. There is no stopping in the red zone.

FA: The white zone is for immediate unloading passangers only. There is no stopping in the red zone.

MA: The red zone is for loading and unloading passangers. There is no stopping in the white zone.

FA: No. The white zone is for loading and unloading. There is not stopping in the red zone.

MA: The red zone's always been for loading and unloading. There is no stopping in the white zone.

WA: Don't tell me which zone's for stopping and which zone's for loading!

MA: Listen, Betty, don't start your white zone st again. There is just no stopping in the white zone.

FA: Really, Vernon, why pretend? We both know what you're talking about. You want me to have an abortion.

MA: It's really the only sensible thing to do. If it's done properly, therapeutically, there's no danger involved.

Even worse in Airplane2. Always thought it was a bit of a poor follow-up but saw it the other night and had a good laugh. Same jokes - different location.

Police Squad was great. I always used to love the end where they all tried to stand really still while the credits rolled, and various things fell over etc.

Rapunezal! Rapunezal! The Tower! The Tower!

"looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue..."

[Jasandjules]

It's a superb film. I watched it last night despite having it on DVD..

Just LOVE the bit in the Bar - I had to ask the guy next to me to pinch me...................

When will we land? I can't say. You can tell me, I'm a doctor.

Boys, let's get some pictures....

"No, I mean I can't tell how soon we can land."

"Well, take a guess."

"Not for another two hours maybe."

"You can't take a guess for another two hours?"

Tell me Joey, have you ever seen a grown man naked?
