Always shown at Christmas.

What a great movie. Anyone else watching?

The Backwards Man

Toss up between it and Ferris.

Ferris won

Its a different kind of flying altogether.

"Ever seen a grown man naked?"

Tin Foil Hat

Just found it. I haven't seen it for years. This might be a long night and put a big hole in my bottle of whiskey. Yer wan is as pretty as I remember, but a far worse actress than I remember:)

Interesting trivia thanks to imdb.com

The man in the taxi who spends the entire film waiting, with the meter running, is Howard Jarvis. Jarvis led the 1978 push for Proposition 13 in California, which was a money-saving and tax-cutting initiative that led to cuts in public services in California. Jarvis saved California home owners thousands of dollars per year by cutting residential property taxes in half.

The irony is funny

What kind of plane is it?

Oh, it's a big pretty white plane with red stripes, curtains on the windows, wheels and it looks like a big Tylenol!

Good luck. We're all counting on you!

Three class films; Airplane, Lebowski and Ferris all on in the middle of the bloody night.

Why?

When you look at some of the utter crap that they show during normal hours it makes the mind boggle.

gammygils

Yep. Watchin'...... again. And watched it on some other channel very lately.


Absolutely love it!

Ciderswigger

I love Airplane

"A hospital? What is it?"
"A big building with patients but that's not important right now"

but... Ferris Bueller's Day Off is my favourite film so it won.

"Ferris Bueller, you're my hero"

Was just about to post that. Even the U2 concert which was a big enough deal and heavily advertised but starting it at 11.10 made no sense.

Airplane demands to be watched whenever it's on

A young Jonathan Banks
'He's all over the place! Nine hundred feet up to 1300 feet. What an asshole!'

Bulbous Salutation

It's a very very funny movie. Great jokes.

Bowlardo

What channel is lebowski on?

McDermotX

The reporters -

"Alright men, let's get some pictures" - cue them stripping the walls.

Always creases me

Alexis Sanchez

I'm watching High Palins Drifter and as soon as that's over, Taxi driver is on Film Four.

This is the only time you can watch anything in peace.

Have you ever been in a Turkish prison .......

The **** is about to hit the fan...

Striker? Striker? Striker? Woman gets punched to the ground. Fukking sidesplitting. They'd never get away with it these days.
Is that in One or Two?

McDermotX

Lloyd Bridges is just magnificent.

Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit smoking/drinking/sniffing glue etc

Tin Foil Hat

"Joey, have you ever been to a Turkish prison"

This is brilliant.

B.A._Baracus

How do you even write a script with so many jokes that hit the mark?

McDermotX

And there it is, probably the best back and forth in the history of cinema

Rex Kramer: [talking to Steve McCroskey] Our only hope is to build this man up. We gotta give him all the confidence we can.
[to Striker]
Rex Kramer: Striker, have you ever flown a multi-engine plane before?
Ted Striker: No, never.
Rex Kramer: [to McCroskey, with the microphone still on] ****! This is a God damn waste of time! There's no way he can land this plane! Route 'em into Lake Michigan and at least avoid killing innocent people!

The Backwards Man

Jaysus lads, it's a fairly decent show alright but yous are starting to lose the run of yourselves here.

Was it Air Israel with the tiger thingy?

It's a classic on many levels, almost all of the jokes hit home and it was the first time many of them were performed. It was the weak imitation of other movies that kind of took from it. Leslie Nielsen is at his best in this also. The bit with the public phones at the start when the pilot was looking at porno mags always cracks me up.

The late Leslie Nielsen was one of my all time favourites, a comic genius.

What an opening scene. Utterly ageless

GekkePrutser

Roger Murdock: Flight 2-0-9'er, you are cleared for take-off.

Captain Oveur: Roger!

Roger Murdock: Huh?

Tower voice: L.A. departure frequency, 123 point 9'er.

Captain Oveur: Roger!

Roger Murdock: Huh?

Victor Basta: Request vector, over.

Captain Oveur: What?

Tower voice: Flight 2-0-9'er cleared for vector 324.

Roger Murdock: We have clearance, Clarence.

Captain Oveur: Roger, Roger. What's our vector, Victor?

Tower voice: Tower's radio clearance, over!

Captain Oveur: That's Clarence Oveur. Over.

Tower voice: Over.

Captain Oveur: Roger.

Roger Murdock: Huh?

Tower voice: Roger, over!

Roger Murdock: What?

Captain Oveur: Huh?



Classic

Though I won't watch it on RTE, I hate commercial breaks on a station I already have to pay so much for. But I have the DVD. A movie like this is worth watching in one go.

My favourite quote:

Best dance sequence in a movie ever:
"I had to ask the guy next to me to pinch me to make sure I wasn't dreaming."

Ted Striker: War is hell.

I dont get the fuss over Ferris or Lebowski. Airplane! is genius though IMO.

Well that's a bit random.
I created this thread last year and lo and behold I watched Airplane on RTE2 tonight at 1:40am then saw that Junkyard_Tom bumped this thread.

Judging from my original post I guess it was on Christmas Night. But alright gentlemen place your bets! Place your bets here! :pac:

When will Airplane be shown on RTE2 Christmas 2017
