Still one of funniest spoof movies ever made, Airplane is one of the first and one of the best around.Hot Shots, Loaded Weapon even Naked Gun have tried to follow in its footsteps, but they have failed to hit the mark. That's not to say that they are bad movies, just that its difficult to follow a movie of this calibre.Spoof movies definitely have there place in everyone's collection, but this is probably the best you'll ever see in the genre, if you have never seen it and you fancy a laugh, I can't recommend a better film, even though it has dated; it's still hilarious 9/10

Quite simply one of the best laugh-out-loud movies ever made. The unapologetic Dad jokes and dry satire are eternally enjoyable and the movie has not lost any of it's bite over the years. Eminently quotable and amongst the best in its class.

Elaine (Julie Hagerty) is a flight attendant. She breaks up with Ted Striker (Robert Hays) who can't get over the war. He can't take it and follows onto her flight. When the flight crew gets food poisoning, surely Ted could save the day.Abrahams and Zucker have created the iconic satire of a disaster movie. It's a great take on a genre so popular at that time. It's a constant stream of jokes. There isn't any time in between to allow the jokes to hit. That's the point. Just when a joke hits you, the next joke is already on the way. There is no time to take a breath. This constant stream of jokes provide the blueprints for this genre for years to come. I'm not going to list the countless jokes here. There are too many hilarious moments. Just watch the movie.
