Fuck, It's Been 40 Years??!?

Airplane! was released on this day in 1980.



If you've never seen the movie, surely you must be joking. Your cultural education has been seriously deficient. Go rent it.

1980 was a good year for film comedies. Airplane! was the #3 movie for domestic box office in that year. 9 to 5, another comedy, was #2. The runaway champ that year was The Empire Strikes Back, the high-water mark for Star Wars movies. (They descended rapidly into suckitude ever since.)

    That and the movie MASH, cult classics and funny.

    Movies have not been very original as of late, those that
    are will be noted for a long time.

    And per your Saturday post, it's been 40 years since Caddyshack. Looking back, 1980 was a lot better than I remember.
