Review of Airplane! (1980) by Mitch B — 20 Feb 2013
Maybe the comedy film that defined a generation. It forever changed the way comedies were made in Hollywood. You couldn't could the number of zingers and one-liners if you had a week to do so. It's impossible to single out any one performer because they're all on top of their game.
But Nielsen and Graves utterly define deadpan comedy. A great send-up of the far-too-many disaster epics of the 1970s. One of those films that never gets old or out-dated. I could watch this movie every day and laugh every time.
