Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit this awesome movie!!!

This new bluray of Airplane was done really well. Liked the deleted scenes and the commentary interviews on certain scenes that I never knew before. A definite must have for fans.

Lots of simple laugh that keep going throughout the movie. Enjoyed it as much as the first time I watched it long ago. Great watch

If you haven't seen this movie, stop reading this and go get a copy of it already! Great film in a great format.

This is a classic comedy that has stood the test of time. Just as funny today as it was in 1980.

What a fantastic slapstick comedy. The bonus features and price are great for a classic in HD.

Over the top humor that I enjoyed tremendously, must be in the mood for stupid humor.

This is a great movie. If you enjoy comedy's and puns, you will love this movie.

Bought this for my collection. Wanted to make sure my kids saw it.

Such a classic and funny movie! Can’t stop laughing!

Airplane is one of the best American comedies. It is time when the most vocal people are politically correct, this movie is a breath of fresh air because there is nothing politically correct about this movie, and it results in outrages laughs. This movie is a spoof of the disaster movies of the 60s and 70s; even if one is not familiar with that genre's formula, the movie still contains numerous laughs. The movie looks and sound great on Blu-ray. The Special Features are not memorable but I did not buy this movie for the Special Features.

I like this movie because it features many really funny scenes and jokes. My favorite parts are when the young girl states that she likes her coffee black and when the airport tower manager states that he picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue. This movie would be rated PG-13 by today's standards, so it may not be suitable for children under 13. There is some brief nudity and probably a half dozen adult-themed references. The group that will get the most out of this will be those aged 30-50, who grew up with the Airport disaster movies and like good sarcasm.

If you haven seen Airplane! you are not a fan of comedy! I am not going to review the film itself, only the new Disc features and packaging; This is what you get: A beautiful Glossy Steelbook.

What you DON'T get: The Long Haul Version: In this mode, viewers will be prompted from within the film to click an icon to view "deleted scenes, interviews, and more." The Trivia Track and Theatrical Trailer.

Great classic movie! Brings back childhood memories and now I was able to share this movie with my kids.

The classic 1980 comedy is now on Blu-ray and looking and sounding better than ever. This movie relaunched Leslie Nielsen's career from a serious actor to a comedian. The plot is a airplane flight from L.A. to Chicago is doomed when food poison incapacitates the crew and some of the passenge.A war pilot with PTSD and his ex girlfriend (the stewardess) fly across the country to save everyone on the plane. You'll be laughing constantly.

An absolute classic released in a steelbook! As I've always thought, steelbooks should stand out from the regular releases. While the artwork presented on this release is nothing too spectacular, it's perfectly appropriate with its minimal, un-busy presentation that lets the film speak for itself. This release in steelbook has all the solid desires; steel spine, strong spindles, great look and feel.

Considered as a satire of Airport '77 and a few other films, this became considered one of the best parodies ever made. With a great cast and some terrific amount of jokes an puns, it's no wonder why fans and critics declare this as one of the funniest parodies. Blu-ray: expecting a crystal-clear quality from this release? Not gonna happen. What it shows though is the best that the studio can remaster, and close to the source material. Extras are a bit sparse, but don't buy it for the extras or any other fancy stuff: buy it for the film! Highly recommended.

The movie speaks for itself so I will focus on the bluray disc itself. I can sum it all up easily in one sentence, "If you own the DVD there is not much gained from the bluray.", the video quality of the bluray does show a hair more detail and better color than the DVD and the audio is only a hair better. Every upgrade from the DVD is subtle and the video transfer could have easily been better but it appears they used an aged transfer that was made for the DVD release.

Airplane! is one of the great comedies of all time. This 40th Anniversary edition has a really good transfer, and some good new special features. I am not a fan of SteelBooks, but this is worth buying for the reasons above. However, you should keep the previous Bluray because the special features from the old one didn't get carried over.

This film (hard to believe it’s a 40th anniversary) at the time of its release was a pioneer in the pun-laden genre of farcical take offs of disaster movies, and the silliness is infectious and remains a high point in hilarity at more than a laugh a minute. A great collectible steel book worthy of a place in your library.
