Airplane! (1980)

Airplane!

• Regarded as one of the greatest (and most iconic) comedies of all time, this is one that everybody should see at least once before they die. Every character is hilarious and has their own great personality, which makes this a good movie to watch. One thing I really enjoyed was how the plot was kept serious, while obviously throwing the comedy element into the story. There are several moments that are actually kind of suspenseful, even though you’re laughing the whole time. Even if there isn’t any comedy in the dialogue, there’s almost always something in the background that is worth paying attention to. The music was pretty good, and although it wasn’t anything to remember, there are several scenes where it helps give the movie a serious feeling despite the hilariousness. It also used Stayin’ Alive, which is one of the greatest songs of all time, so that makes it even more better. This film is officially Berry Approved, so go see it now, and don’t call me Shirley.
