Airplane!

“There’s no reason to become alarmed, and we hope you’ll enjoy the rest of your flight. By the way, is there anyone on board who knows how to fly a plane?” In the 1980 comedy classic Airplane!, the disaster movie is skewered and hilariously ripped apart. And it’s much, much sharper and sillier than all the Scary, Date, and Epic Movies, which all trash their genres in the same vein with poor results. Celebrating its 30th anniversary, Airplane! shows how subtle, controlled insanity can outdo the more lavishly produced comedies of today. (PG-13) SEAN LUDWIG
