O/T. Years ago I had the pleasure of watching Leslie Nielsen perform in the one man stage show Clarence Darrow. He was wonderful and he gave a moving and captivating performance. The man was so much more than the single line funny.

... But that's not important now.

Capt Ed Hocken - Sex, Frank.

Frank - No, not right now Ed.

Reporter: What kind of plane is it?

Johnny: Oh, it's a big pretty white plane with red stripes, curtains in the windows and wheels and it looks like a big Tylenol.




And let's not forget Police Squad..........


Frank: We're sorry to bother you at such a time like this, Mrs. Twice. We would have come earlier, but your husband wasn't dead then

hHot Shots! certainly, that was non stop hysterics for me.

Low flying practice:
Captain: "how are you two doing down there?"
Wotsisname pilot: "Ah, I'm at 300 feet and flying nap of the earth" (or something like that)
Topper: "I'm at 3rd and Main!"

"Tomorrow we hit the enemy toast."
"Coast, sir"
"What? Oh, it will require some replanning then... "

"Got anyone special waiting for you back home?"
"No, just me and my bike."
"Ah, a loner, huh?"
"No, I own it."

I think Top Secret! with Val Kilmer did alright too. Not funny all the time but there were a good few high quality moments in that.

Perhaps a movie needs an exclamation mark in it's title to be truly funny.

'Top Secret' definitely had it's moments - Also had lots of visual gags. It's the sort of film you can watch many times and always catch something new.

Wrong film but never mind.

Is the backwards song when he's throwing the library books up on to the shelves and then they both slide up the fireman's pole (oo-er!) ?
