Airplane VS. Spinal Tap

Spinal TapI can watch both over and over and over and over......

No contest.

Airplane's funny, but this one goes to 11.

Man that is not easy.......I almost have to say both. If I have to pick, then of course, Spinal Tap. They set the bar for shure. Airplane killed with the semantic jokes and of course Spinal Tap basically (re-)invented the Mockumentery. Zeigest might have been one of the first, but I can't think of many.


"We have to get this women to a hospital.
What is it?
It's a big building with doctors, but that's not important right now."


"(plays romatic piano ballad)
Wow, that's butiful.
Yes, it's called lick my love pump."

I like both movies equally - the inside jokes and whatnot in Airplane! kill me.

But, I'd have to choose This Is Spinal Tap.

Why?

Because of this:


Fine-ass June Chadwick could rock a cowboy hat with finesse.

Who has the OG Spinal Tap vinyl with the most black cover. Plus, it only counts if you bought it when the movie came out.

Definitely a close one, but Tap gets the edge.

Sweetheart's eyes are incredible.

An old girlfriend of mine was almost a dead ringer for this lady...she was like the biggest Aerosmith fan going...when I told her she reminded me of June Chadwick she replied that I wasn't the only one who thought she looked like "that girl from the Spinal Tap movie."

Did she make you wear Astro-Chart Inspired pajamas to bed?

Thank God, no. Although, strangely enough, we had the same birthday...

Though it took me years to find the vinyl.

I think it would be impossible for me to choose between these two films. Tap easily has many of the funniest lines ever spoken on film but Airplane!'s humor is more dependent on tone. If you haven't seen Zero Hour! you really should check out this montage from WFMU:

What you realize is that most of the funniest lines from Airplane! are taken almost word for word from Zero Hour! They've made a movie that zany enough to let you really see the humor in the over the top earnest dialog from these old suspense movies.
