Airplane! (1980)

One of the most outrageous comedies ever, the Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker team’s spoof of "Airport"-style disaster films took the plot of a jeopardized transcontinental flight from the 1957 thriller "Zero Hour" and crammed it with more gags than can be counted. Robert Hays, Julie Hagerty, Leslie Nielsen, Robert Stack, Lloyd Bridges, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Stephen Stucker as Johnny star. 87 min. C/Rtg: PG

Top Secret! (1984)

An American rock ’n’ roll singer (Val Kilmer, making his feature debut) gets caught up in a wacky espionage mission in East Germany in this outrageous spoof from the Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker crew. Poking fun at teen musicals and spy thrillers, and pilfering beloved moments from "The Wizard of Oz," "Goldfinger," "The Sound of Music," "The Blue Lagoon," and the cinema of Steven Spielberg, this laugh-a-minute comedy co-stars Lucy Gutteridge, Omar Sharif, and Peter Cushing. 90 min. C/Rtg: PG

The Naked Gun: From The Files Of Police Squad! (1988)
