Airplane!

Recommended on an Objectivist website?

Hell, what a day to be giving up cocaine...

I'm thinking of writing an article about how Stryker's fear of responsibility makes this the perfect Objectivist morality tale/airplane disaster spoof.

You have to decide... you have to decide... you have to decide...

Is this the one with this dialogue? [from memory, could be wrong]


"Tell me all that happened before this emergency."

"First, there was the Big Bang. Then..."


I still laugh when I remember this. Try it at work! LOL!

For better or for worse, I raised this movie to attention in an earlier post when I wished Kat and MSK that famous Airplane! line:

"Good luck.  We're all counting on you."

That aside, I see nothing wrong with silly fun like this -- especially the scene where the pesky airport solicitors all get the daylights beaten out of them!

Peter Graves to the little boy:
"Joey, have you ever seen naked men wrestling?"

Given Graves' square image, that had to be one of the funniest lines in movie history.

If anyone wants an objectivist twist to this film.

Think about when one of the pilots is walking through the airport and is greeted by a bunch of Jesus freaks, Hare Krishnas and other cults and charities all asking him for something.

He non-chalantly kicks, punches and knocks each one of them out of his way.

Also don't forget when Robert Hays and Julie Hagerty go as missionary's to a tribe in Africa and teach the men to play basketball and the women the benefits of using tupperware containers.
 
"Shirley you can't be serious!" I hear someone responding. :-)

Caddyshack is the ultimate quote movie, and a far superior screwball comedy in my opinion...

Leslie Neilson is talking to the Mayo Clinic on a multiline phone. He has to take a call from a guy named Ham.

He says to the operator:

"Gimme Ham on five. Hold the Mayo."
