    Airplane!

    I must have seen this movie at least 100 times since it first came out in 1980. I still think it's arguably the funniest movie ever made. It's just time to sit and be silly. The only disappointment was that it was edited. There were some subtle things left out that only someone who has seen it a bazillion times would notice. One missing scene was where the kid brings his dog into the cockpit "oh look - scrapps is a boy dog". Another was where a reporter announces the passengers are being put in Jeopardy, and you cut to the plane where Art Fleming is playing Jeopardy with the passengers "I'll take airline disasters for $100". But it is still a riot, and a good time. AND....they gave away a DVD of the movie which I won in the trivia contest. :o) I just want to say good luck - we're all counting on you!

    Airplane is, bar none, my favorite comedy of all time. I love everything about it. The pacing, the look and especially the gags. I often find myself working many of the gags into my everyday conversations, particularly the "Drinking Problem" bit. If you haven't seen this, rent or stream it today. You'll be glad you did.
