Plot:
It's the "Don't Call Me Shirley!" Special Collector's Edition of that high-flying, smash-hit comedy farce, Airplane! Robert Hays and Julie Hagerty join panicky passengers, inept ground controllers and an inflatable auto-pilot (named "Otto," of course!) in the disaster-film spoof voted "one of the 10 funniest movies ever made" by American Film Institute. Surely, you won't find a funnier film on DVD. And don't call me Shirley!

I decided to watch this one with Brittany today. This is the first time she ever seen it.... and the first time I seen it since I was a teen. So I probably haven't seen it in a good 30 years! It is very strange... even after all those years there was a lot of stuff I remembered. After all those years I was telling Britt ohh.. watch this part it's funny. I remembered so much while watching you would have thought I watched it less then a month ago. But to be fair I did watch it countless times when I was a teen. Sure this movie goes with the obvious jokes... and some of those jokes are rather dated... but all the same this film is a lot of fun to watch! Brittany said it was a fun movie... but nothing there really got her laughing all that much. I am afraid I may have hyped it up for her a little too much. Plus this movie was made in 1980, so she didn't get all the references and such. But she said it was fun all the same. I, myself had a blast watching this one again after all these years. Definitely recommended.

While I have seen this movie before... it hasn't been since it was originally released on VHS.... a good 20 years ago. So needless to say there wasn't much about this movie that I remembered. Basically like seeing it again for the first time. All I really remembered from it is that I enjoyed it quite a bit. And that proved to be true today. I enjoyed every minute of the storyline. And also enjoyed Tom Selleck in the role of Quigley as well. Which did surprise me in a way. I never minded him as an actor... but at the same time he isn't someone I ever thought of when I tried to think of good actors either. I always been the type of person that enjoys a good Western... but only when I am in the mood to watch one... which seemed to come seldomly. But while I really wasn't that much in the mood for one today... I still enjoyed it quite a bit. This is one I would recommend to anyone. Even if Westerns isn't your favorite genre.
