1. This woman needs to get to a hospital!
A hospital! What is it?

It's a big building with patients. But that's not important. :rofl:

Airplane, hands down.

So many great lines in that movie! :rofl:

8. when i went on vacation i brought all my funny movies with me so my nieces
my poor pop culture deprived nieces could know the joy of Mel Brooks and all the funny stuff, they were howling with laughter watching Airplane!, The Jerk and Blazing Saddles.

10. Well now I feel stupid.
I spelled pterydactyl wrong in my later post (dropped the 'p'). :-)

3. Memphis Belle (1990)
Historically and technically flawed, but still a lotta fun to watch.

12. Too much gratuitous flying for me to enjoy. I learned about B17 crates.

9. Airplane, bar none.
The jive-talkin' June Cleaver...classic. "Guess I picked the wrong week to quit...(fill in with drug of choice here)." Damn, my husband and I use Airplane lines all the time on each other.

"...you could make a hat...or a teradactyl!"

16. I ruled out that and 'Fail-Safe'
because only bits of them are actually in the aircraft.

18. Bits?
At least a third of that movie is in the B-52.

I think.

19. Sounds about right
But that doesn't qualify to me as "set in an airplane," especially since most of the memorable bits are set in the War Room.

I almost didn't mention "Memphis Belle" because only about the second half of it is actually in the aircraft.

27. How soon can we land?
Well, I can't say.

You can tell me, I'm a doctor.

No, I mean I don't know!

Can't you take a guess?

Well, not for another two hours.
