classic

Or, as it's known in Australia "Flying High". True, and from wikipedia apparently it was only us and the Philippines who called it that... odd.

I mean, we call the Aeroplanes, but so does England.

Actually, from further reading in Wiki, it had a tonne of brilliant names around the world:

German: The Unbelievable Flight in a Crazy Airplane (Die unglaubliche Reise in einem verrückten Flugzeug)
French: Is There a Pilot on the Plane? (Y a-t-il un pilote dans l'avion?)
Portuguese (for release in Brazil), Fasten your seatbelts,the pilot is gone (Apertem os cintos, o piloto sumiu)
Italian It's the craziest plane in the world (L'aereo più pazzo del mondo)
Finnish Hey, we're flying! ( Hei, me lennetään!)
Spanish Land as you can (Aterriza como puedas)
Latin America And where is the pilot? (and ¿Y dónde está el piloto?)
Norway Help, we're flying (Hjelp, vi flyr)
Swedish Look, we're flying (Titta vi Flyger)

Yowsers... I wonder what film has the most different names around the world?

Oh, and a brilliant film, I saw recently the one of the films it was spoofing (Airport 1975) and loved seeing some of the plot points they were spoofing.

Great film, with many lines that are quoted regularly in our household.

Do you like Gladiator movies?

"This girl needs to get to a hospital, right now!"
"A hospital? What is it?"
"It's a big building with lots of patients, but that's not important right now."

Shirley, this is one of the funniest movies of all time. Timeless classic.

"We have clearance Clarence. Roger Roger, What´s our vector Victor?"

Upvote for "This woman has to be gotten to a hospital"

Man i need to see this again.

I think this could go in *80s and *vintage, maybe (*)spacy too.

It's a different kind of flying...alltogether!

"I picked a helluva week to stop smoking/sniffing glue/taking amphetamines"

Good pun. If people didn't pronounce surely as Shirley, they could pronounce it as surly, syorly, or sue-really.

If anybody plays COD4 or watches family guy, I believe they have spoofed this movie.

In the bonus mission in the epilogue of COD4 "Mile High Club" features the "Surely you can't be serious; Don't call me Shirley" gag and family guy spoofed it in one episode where they took turns beating up Meg.
