Anytime I see that Airplane is going to be on one of the DirecTV channels I get, I just have to watch it-and I howl just as much with laughter as I did the 1st time I saw it-the ridiculous acting out of the cliches and the total lack of PC is what makes it so great-likewise, the Naked Gun flicks, and the Mel Brooks comedies-especially Blazing Saddles-another fav of mine-my guy commented that most of what passes for comedy now isn’t funny anymore-because of the PC s***-you would never, ever make a Blazing Saddles, Airplane, Naked Gun, etc today without being dragged into court by every lunatic fringe group around-those people lack the sense of humor to make fun of themselves...
Same guys that did Airplane! did another of my favorites, Top Secret!
