"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.

"It's an entirely different movie"

Hmm...you must've had the fish, too. :rolleyes:

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.

Oever : Sure. You ever been in a cockpit before?
Joey : No sir, I've never been up in a plane before.
Oever : You ever . . . seen a grown man naked ?


Murdock : But just remember, my name is ROGER MURDOCK. I'm an airline pilot.
Joey : I think you're the greatest, but my dad says you don't work hard enough on defence. And he says that lots of times, you don't even run down court. And that you don't really try . . . except during the playoffs.
Murdock : The hell I don't!! LISTEN KID!I've been hearing that crap ever since I was at UCLA. I'm out there busting my buns every night. Tell your old man to drag Walton and Denier up and down the court for 48 minutes.

Tell me DD, have you ever seen a grown man naked?

Hmmm...you're asking that? With William Shatner as your avatar? :eek:

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