Didn't The Blues Brothers come out in '79?
Airplane - one of the funniest movies ever.
"Captain, you've got an emergency call on line 5 from a Mr. Ham."
"Alright, give me Ham on 5 and hold the Mayo."
"Surely, you can't be serious."
"I am serious. And please don't call me Shirley."
"We've got to get these people to a hospital right away."
"A Hospital!!?? What is it?"
"It's a big building with patients in it, but thats not important right now."
"Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit poppin' amphetamines."
"Do you like movies with gladiators in them?"

Gonz......Halloween 3? come on man I don't even count that as a Halloween movie. Eddie Murphy's stand up comedies (Raw and Delirious) and Heathers or was that an early 90's?
