AIRPORT SERIES (1970-1979)

AIRPORT- To the best of my knowledge is the start of the whole genre of "Disaster Movies". With its all star cast and big budget special effects, this really draw my interest. I just love the sight of people running for their lives!
I can't go into all the details for all of these "Airport" movies, BUT they range from blowing up a plane to commit suicide to terrorism, from shooting the concorde with a couple of heat seeking missles to giant 747 crashing beneath the Pacific Ocean, these movies just bring so much joy the audience.
Watching Lee Grant washed away face down in flooded plane....Charo sneaking a puppy dog on board by stuffing it in her brassier...A no name actor plays a blind man singing about "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder"....Martha Ray trapped in the bathroom getting all wet as the plane flips upside down...Karen Black trying to land a plane after the cockpit has been blown away with the pilots sucked out into the sky ....Cicely Tyson fights to save the frozen heart from falling off the overhead compartment as her dying son awaits the heart for a transplant ...the endless excitment and laughter is what I live for!
These movies has great drama, over acting, cheesy background music and bad dialogue you just cannot pass it up! Hey, where else can you see George Kennedy in a nude scene?!
