Should have know 3, but didn’t. Did know 2, 4 and 6.
Airplane! made me laugh so much. The scene that cracked me most was the one where the woman gets hysterical so she gets slapped to pull herself together. Only to be followed by a whole set of passengers with escalating weapons haha.
Been a very long time since I have seen that flick, and so my memory is quite hazy. But I do recall the sketches of that scene, and it was certainly hilarious. 🙂
Only got Airplane and Snakes on a Plane…whoops. Hahaha.
The first film is superb btw. What did you think of Snakes on a Plane?
Honestly, I’ve never seen it all the way through. I’ve caught bits on television, and from what I’ve seen I don’t really care one way or the other if I see the rest…lol.
got them all but snakes on a plane. AF1 was 90’s So ThE 80’s tag threw me a bit til i saw William H. Macy.
nice post AR
The third film was originally going to be Top Gun, but it just seemed too obvious. My bad. Meant to change the date. Impressive score dude.
Better that you changed it. Air Force 1 is a better choice than Top Gun since more happens in the air. 🙂
Eep 1/5… but then I’ve only seen one of them.
I got five out if six.
