Absolutely brilliant

It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

This is one of the funniest movie of all time. I must have seen it 100 times as I know most of the lines. Even after seeing it many times you still find something funny to you missed.

I'm not always fond of older movies for various reasons but this one still gets me every time I watch it.

My friends and I quote lines from this movie incessantly. I watched "The High and the Mighty" from 1954 and it is a boilerplate for the jokes in Airplane. You'll laugh at both as watch.

I enjoyed this movie as a kid, mostly for the visual gags. I rewatched it recently with my daughter, and though she said it was the dumbest movie ever, she did laugh frequently. Some of the gags made more sense to me now, and some were annoyingly repeated. Funny and dumb but not the masterpiece everyone thinks of it.
