Going into this watchthrough, Airplane! was probably the biggest-name film I hadnt seen before. And this is the kind of movie that makes me really glad for these projects, because I never wouldve found the time to watch this otherwise, and it was great.

I echo this. Thanks so much for running this project, Tangy. Probably never would've watched my #1, 3, 5, 7, 8, and 9 without it.

I thought that Airplane might be too silly for some people to do well in this project, but I am glad to see it win! Thanks for hosting Tangy, it was fun.

So what is on deck next for this project series? It is yours truly hosting Animated movies, part 4!
I promise that for once it is a Minion-free event and that sequels in general are greatly reduced in number in favor of original content.

I will probably reveal the list and post the topic sometime this weekend, I hope you all will consider participating. :)

I think I won organized crime but I'm not 100% sure. I do remember some kind of failure to pay out and kneecap-breaking goons had to be sent in

Having my top 3 match the top 3 was almost worth falling way down the outlier list right at the end.

Thanks for the topic, it's been a blast watching these movies and reading what everyone had to say about them!

I just wanted to tell you both: Good luck. We're all counting on you.

Young Frankenstein is great. Wonderful cast. Wilder and Boyle dancing is fantastic, and I love Gene Hackman's scene. I was going to make espresso.

I can't tell you how much I enjoy Airplane. It's just rapid fire sight gags and innuendo all throughout and I'm strapped aboard this flight of insanity. I have fits of laughter every time I watch it. One of all time favorite films. Airplane is an entirely different thing, altogether!

Yay, Vegas winner. Where do I cash out?

I think of the ones you haven't seen, the only one I'd highly recommend is Black Dynamite. Popstar was great too but that kind of hinges on how you feel about Samberg/Lonely Island stuff
