Review of Airplane! (1980) by Mikko K — 07 Dec 2012
A slapstick masterpiece! This film is, without a doubt, one of the very best comedies ever made. It's 32 years old and it still makes me laugh my ass off every time I watch it. Every moment, every line is just as genuinely funny now as it was back then! Very few comedies have that kind of staying power.
Picking a best moment in Airplane is almost impossible.Every single moment of the film is funny, and none of the jokes come across as forced, it is just pure non stop comedy gold. This is and the definitive parody film, and the one that influenced all that came afterwards.
The sad thing is that I just can't see the genre coming back any time soon after the damage that has been done by garbage like "Meet The Spartans", "Epic Movie" and all of the other clones.
