Part 1:

The straight-faced lunacy of Airplane!

Part 2:

What Airplane! gets right that its imitators get wrong


"I’d also like to single out Robert Hays—who got the film’s starring role role over a young David Letterman." Shocked (I did not know this).

Excellent! I think it's time to introduce the youngsters at my house to "Airplane!" And its cousins the "Naked Gun" movies. And let's not overlook the "Police Squad" TV series that spawned Naked Gun.
