Airplane!

Airplane! (1980) starring Robert Hays, Julie Hagerty, Robert Stack, Lloyd Bridges, Peter Graves, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Leslie Nielsen. One of the funniest comedies ever, laugh-a-minute humor coming at you for practically the entire movie. At one point it made me laugh out loud, which is really hard to do. The presence of "serious" actors Stack, Bridges, Graves and Nielsen adds to the humor as they all play it straight and in various ways make fools of themselves. This is a spoof of all the "Airport" type films that appeared in the '70s, and it hits the mark far more often than it misses. A very funny comedy. (English subtitles are available, as well as closed captions.) Grade: B+
