Friday Favourites - Airplane the movie

This week I wanted to tell you about a film you may not have heard of. 'Airplane' is a comedy about an ex-fighter pilot trying to save his relationship and take control of an airliner after crew and passengers suffer food poisoning. On this flight passengers regret eating the fish. The film is filled with sketches and quick gags which were relevant in the 80s and in a way shows how comedy has and hasn't changed over the decades.

This film was recommended to me by my Mum. Although some of the gags may seem strange at first, once you understand the time the film was made and the context it makes sense. The films also contains references to famous films of the time, such as Jaws and Saturday Night Fever.
