Just heard on the radio, today is the 30th anniversary of the movie Airplane! Surely this must be christmas for After Hours, No? Didn't know the movie plot was taken from the 1957 film Zero Hour! Check it out...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q__vuyH1JEI

Rumack: You'd better tell the Captain we've got to land as soon as we can. This woman has to be gotten to a hospital.
Elaine Dickinson: A hospital? What is it?
Rumack: It's a big building with patients, but that's not important right now.

Lawyer: Doctor, can you give me your impression of Mr. Riker?
Doctor: I'm sorry, my training is in psychology, I don't do impressions.

Quality quality movies.

There's no reason to become alarmed, and we hope you'll enjoy the rest of your flight. By the way, is there anyone on board who knows how to fly a plane?

I loved captaion's Oveurs actions to Dr. Rumack's description of the illness!

This is as consistently funny as any comedy Iv ever had the pleasure to watch.I cant believe its 30 years old.Some of my most cherished childhood memories involve staying up late at Christmas time and watching this.

TinCool

I remember seeing this the first time as a kid. I was literally crying laughing at the end when Striker was landing the plane. Absolutely classic movie. The 2nd one has some great moments in it as well. Shatner's character is too funny.

i remember in the second movie, when yer man walks up to the computer screen on the wall, turns the dials and tunes in the reception to talk to Shatner's character, Tells him that the shuttle is in trouble, then shatner opens the door and the computer screen turns out to be a window.
I nearly died laughing when i saw that first :pac:

Darn I missed the 30th birthday but 2 years ago I had the pleasure of re-watching this in a cinema. The cinema usually plays a classic movie every wednesday night but its rarely busy, this time however it was packed and they had to rerun it another night so more could see it. One of the best cinema pleasures I have had!

DFB BOY

Ordered the dvd boxset off ebay there yesterday for just over a tenner,cant wait till it arrives,one of the funniest films ever!!!!!

This happened when it was first released too. People going to see it multiple times just to catch all the gags.

Don't know how many times I watched this and Top Secret! as a child. Classics!

I'm going to watch this again tonight, even bought the dvd today, which is a first in a long long long long long time, I don't own many hard copies of movies
