Mon, 16 Jun 2008 13:29:07 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author johnulmer - "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.

Sat, 24 Dec 2005 18:25:50 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author noahdabomb3 - Airplane! is a comedy movie starring Julie Hagerty, Robert Hays and Lloyd Bridges. Since, I know nothing about those actors I'll just describe the movie. The basic plot is that the main character wants a girl badly and since she is a stewardess, he...

Sat, 14 May 2005 12:27:48 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tgregoryt - 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...

mvie mu-1000530: "By The Way, Is There Anyone On Board Who Knows How To Fly A Plane?"

Tue, 1 Feb 2005 23:18:04 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author orleansguy74 - 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.

Sun, 31 Oct 2004 15:09:33 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author seacow - 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...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author chad8246 - 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...

Sun, 17 Nov 2002 18:50:31 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author silentrascal - "Airplane" is, without any doubt in my mind, THE funniest movie I have ever seen.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Cassady - From an opening "Jaws" takeoff to a closing cameo by the late California tax reformer Howard Jarvis (after some particularly funny credits), this amalgam of airborne-disaster-flick cliches is a screen vaudeville that shook the laughter out of me and...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author MonikaEC - I've seen this movie many times, and no other comedy I've seen can compare with this. How all the actors involved played all this with straight faces is amazing.

Sun, 24 Dec 2000 05:16:11 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author palal67 - In 1980, the funniest movie to ever be made was unleashed onto the public. Airplane is one of those you-love-it-or-you-don't-get-it movies. It was a standard setting movie for any parody movie. All parody movies need to learn from this movie, in order...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bilbopooh - All right, I'll level with you. This movie is CORNY with a capital C. But you know what? I love it anyway.
