Review of Airplane! (1980) by Eric H — 18 Feb 2014

This movie is funny as heck and laugh a second spoof that mocks 70s rea disaster films with a scatter-gag barrage of relentless slapstick,con stant plays on words and has the best appearance by ethal merman in decades.

Granted its infantile and some of the humor might be perceived as politically incorrect today. But there are so many one liners you'll remember years later like "don't call me shirley!" This is the film that launched a thousand imitators.
