Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid
When celebrated scientist and world famous cheesemaker, John Forrest, dies under mysterious circumstances, his daughter Juliet turns to private investigator Rigby Reardon for help. Scenes from old movies are cut up and rearranged alongside newly shot footage to create an absurd collage, celebrating and satirizing the hard-boiled noir detective movies of the 40s and 50s. Starring Steve Martin, Rachel Ward, and Carl Reiner--with appearances by Ingrid Bergman, Humphrey Bogart, Joames Cagney, Alan Ladd, Joan Crawford, Bette Davis, Kirk Douglas, Lana Turner, Barbara Stanwyck, Vincent Price, and more!

OR

Airplane!
Ted Striker is an ex-fighter pilot suffering from PTSD that prevents him from setting foot on a plane. He struggles to hold a job and, because of this, his flight attendant girlfriend Elaine, breaks up with him. In a mad attempt to save his relationship, Ted boards Elaine's next flight--but when the in-flight meal causes the entire crew to become violently ill, it's up to Ted and Elaine to land the plane and save the day. Starring Robert Hayes, Julie Hagerty, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Leslie Nielsen, and Barbara Billingsley.
