If so, what did you think?

Interesting question. I have and it is of course a classic. Half the reason I watched was to see RS although it is strange to see him in a comical role after watching him on UM for years. Didn't he also do "Beavis and Butthead Do America". I didn't see that one and wouldn't have admitted to it if I had.

Airplane is a great movie and Robert Stack is brilliant in it!!

TripperFan · 08-10-2005, 04:06 PM

Pretty much my favourite comedy of all time. I still get laughs out of it and I've seen it at least 30 times.

Surely, you can't be serious with this thread!

Oh ho ho...I keed. It's only one of the most awesome movies ever! And the fact that they have Bob Stack in it playing...well, Bob Stack, is hilarious.

Great film. The jive guys are classic

OriginalNightstalker · 08-10-2005, 05:04 PM

That movie has some of the best lines.

And Barbara Billingsly being the one who could understand them!!

And I loved the St. Christopher statuette on the "dash".

The best is the "slap" line...

Mikado · 08-10-2005, 07:08 PM

umm classic comedy, but...whats it got to do with Unsolved Mysteries??

Fletch · 08-10-2005, 07:37 PM

Robert Stack?

MetalHybrid · 08-10-2005, 07:42 PM

Funny that you mention that movie, I saw it last night actually. I thought that it was a little slow to start off but got moving after a short while. To many flashbacks and stupid musical interludes, but other than that it was slapstick hilarious.

Yeah it does involve Robert Stack so in that aspect it does have a connection to UM, somewhat at least.

TripperFan · 08-10-2005, 07:44 PM

I wondered that myself at first too, but realized that Robert Stack was in it - he was in the Control Tower - remember?

I saw it a few weeks ago again and couldn't believe just how many people that starred in that movie are now dead!

Musta picked a bad week to be in a movie!

Brent88 · 08-10-2005, 07:47 PM

I love it...

"Get that finger out of your ear... you don't know where that finger's been"

and so many others...

"Now arriving Gate ...

"

"That's the lousiest landing in the history of this airport".

I HATED the lame flashbacks though... I just get up and do something when they come up.
