If it weren't for a mad bomber story line, it would be the perfect empty movie for airlines to show on long flights.

One of the most embarrassing movies to be nominated for Best Picture and other Oscars--the spoof Airport is a better picture. Airport's star Burt Lancaster said: It's the biggest piece of junk ever made."

Old-fashioned and fairly stagy, but this great-granddaddy of disaster flicks has an undeniable old-fashioned charm.
