Generation Gap

I often discuss movies with coworkers. I seem to have stumbled upon the Grand Canyon of generation gaps, it's the movie "Airplane!". I was stunned that almost everyone under 25 had not seen or even heard of the Zucker/Abrahms/Zucker classic from 1980. Surely you can't be serious.



Kids these days... sheesh! (And don't call me Shirley)

    Roger, Roger. What's the vector, Victor?

    And that girl really knew how to turn on the auto-pilot.

    Airplane, and The Three Amigos are two of the best comedy movies ever.

    The weird thing and to show you're absolutely right- in the course of previous employment I was also around a lot of young movie fans who had somehow missed this gem, but had watched everything else from that generation.
    Youth- it's wasted on young people.

    I had forgotten The Three Amigos, greatness.

    ...and I'm pretty sure the only gladiator movie I ever saw was one with Kirk Douglas...
