I was living with a roommate a few years ago. Airplane was showing on cable one night and I was all excited. I told my roommate and she snarled "That is the dumbest movie I've ever seen" All I could think was "That's why it's. so great!"

"We're on a mission from God!"

"We're gettin' the band back together!"

"It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses."

Not to mention the mall chase scene, the chicken-wire scene, and the climactic elevator ride.
