Tonight's movie night movie will be, "Airplane! (1980)." Surely you can't be serious.

    @bigzaphod@mastodon.social I have very fond memories of going to see Airplane! With my father at the theater. It was the first time I saw my father literally laughing uncontrollably at something. He was in stitches at certain points and that made the movie all the funnier for young me. I hope your family enjoys it. Also… BOOBS! 😅

    Airplane! is still quite funny and most of the family enjoyed it - one nearly died laughing, one almost rolled his eyes out of his head, and another said, "well that was a movie." lol To be honest, a lot of references are super aged and some of them even I don't remember anymore (or maybe never even knew in the first place) so they don't translate super well, but the endlessly quotable lines and ridiculous background jokes still work and keep it from ever getting boring.
