Airplane! (1980) – Neither the leads nor their story is all that great, but a good majority of the jokes–including a couple of iconic ones–work, and work well, even after multiple viewings and decades; it’s aged a bit, but its use of tough-guy, straight-man actors and deadpan humor hold it together. 7
I just saw this. A very high rate of jokes. And Kareem. The funniest to me were when the pilot was going through the airport fighting all of the religious solicitors, and the guy who says "I picked the wrong day to quit sniffing glue." lol
ReplyDeleteThe soap opera-ey relationship between the two leads was well done.
