    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!

    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.

    I love Airplane

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

    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!'

    The reporters -

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

    Always creases me

    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?

    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!
