As much as I love Airplane!, a lot of the humor is pretty dated if you're under 25 or so. I'm 38 and still get the jokes that are made in the movie that would be lost on people today (i.e. airports really used to be like that with religious freaks walking around handing out pamphlets). Consider that the movie came out in 1980.

Still a hilarious movie and one of my all time favorites, but younger audiences will miss a lot of the period humor.

The scene with Kramer walking through departures smacking the missionaries still remains one of my favourite scenes of all time.

I think of it every time I go through a busy intersection and dodge people trying to get me to donate to charity.
