Wolff Movie Index

Airplane!(1979)

Wolff rating: EXCELLENT

Plot summary: Some bad fish on a domestic flight forces a shell-shocked fighter pilot to bring the plane down.

Biased, pithy comments: Completely wacky, totally off the wall, and will do anything for a gag. Classic dialog, great takes, and good pacing. A great spoof of the airport disaster movies famous from the era.

How many times I have seen it: uncountable

Starring: Robert Hayes, Julie Haggerty, Leslie Nielson
Directed by: Zucker Brothers and Jim Abrahams
