"Airplane" - The Movie...
 
26 years later, this movie still holds up. Saw it on HBO over the weekend. It's great to see politically incorrect slapstick.

Saw "Blazing Saddles" as well. It's also funny, but not as funny as "Airplane."

Gotta' love it! :D

Thanks for your support. SmileWavy

Which movie is entirely different?

Every line in "Blazing Saddles" is funny. There is no send-up. EVERY line has something funny.

So does "Airplane." But what makes "Airplane" funnier - at least I think - is it doesn't depend on parody of older themes/people, etc. Heddy Lemar vs. "Headly Lemar" for instance.

I mean which has more guffaws: the two or three times Harvey Korman insists, "That's Headly Lemar," or when Barbara Billingsly ("Leave it to Beaver") speaks jive?

I'm just saying slapstick for slapstick, "Airplane" is funnier, IMO.

I'm not worried "buddy." If a person has a tongue, I'm sure they're also entitled to taste.

Why? "Airplane" is funnier. What else will I see in "Blazing Saddles?" Realism?

Too Many favorites:

"Its a big building with patients, but that's not important right now."

"Its the little room in the front of the plane where the pilots sit, but that's not important now."

"I am serious, and don't call me Shirley!"

"Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue."

Elaine : Well, we had a choice, steak or fish.
Rumack : Yes, yes, I remember, I had lasagna.

I guess it depends how old you are. Blazing Saddles came out in 1974. Paved the way for Airplane and the rest...
