    Airplane! turns 30

    One of the funniest films that ever was, and ever will be, turns 30 today, apparently.

    The gags-per-minute in this film is through the roof. Anyone who has never seen it is really missing out.

    Airplane! We salute you.

    Leslie Nielsen is one of the best.

    But it has to be said, I prefer The Naked Gun

    Just hope no one decides to do a remake - sometimes the originals are the best

    One of the funniest bits of that film is the sound they've dubbed on for the aircraft itself - sounds like a WWII bomber
