You know the gags. You know the dialogue by heart. Striker's drinking problem... "Don't call me Shirley"... Air Israel, my personal favorite...

Virgin might get some votes from the younger crowd... we'll see. It would definitely get mine against just about anything else. Carell was absolutely brilliant and the "Know how I know you're gay" scene still cracks me up.

Another movie I'm embarrassed not to have seen yet it Airplane. Again hopefully this summer I'll get to it.

These showdowns are helping. I'm pushing up movies that are doing well here that I haven't seen.

I'm sure Airplane was great for its time, but it's 2007, and it's not even in the same league as Virgin.

Oh, stewardess! I speak jive.

And that's what scares me...

I'm a youngin' that doesn't praticularly like 80's comedies (Except the Blues Brothers, that's the awesome-ist!). But Airplane! is one of my favorites. The 40 Y.O.V. was just too long.

I freaking love Johnny in that movie.

Johnny, what can you make out of this?

This? Why, I can make a hat or a brooch or a pterodactyl...

So awesome. It should be this against Blazing Saddles in the finale. Should be.

I love them both. I just got 40 Year Old on DVD a week or two ago, but I just watched Airplane on the bus ride from NorCal tonight and thought to myself "Why don't I own this movie?"

I have to think about this one, too.

[Lucky]

I'm giving Airplane the nod by default. I've been trying to catch the 40 YOV on TV the last few weeks but I only manage the last half hour every time. And it was definitely funny, but I can't manage to see the rest. So while I don't LOVE Airplane and I could imagine 40 YOV winning me over, it just hasn't yet.

Of course I really should have held off my vote because now I half expect to catch it on TV tomorrow and be won over.

[salmonjunkie]

The hard part is that I do love Airplane, and I loved 40 Year Old Virgin - I've seen Airplane about 6 or 7 times, and 40YOV twice... But 40YOV came out last year while Airplane is a classic at roughly 25 years. Dammit...

You're very sadly mistaken. I'm probably the youngest person voting in this thing and, while I love 40YOV, Airplane is so much better.

Looks like I picked the wrong night to quit smoking/drinking/sniffing glue.

Joey, do you like movies about gladiators?

The auto-pilot! Kareem! Leslie Nielsen!
Airplane by a mile!

[salmonjunkie]

I have been swayed.

Joey, have you ever been to a turkish prison?
