I think "Airplane!" has to be my favorite movie of all time. I can still remember when I first saw it how the entire audience in the theater was roaring with laughter so much of the time.

The Howard Jarvis taxi bit is an inside joke that only Californians can appreciate, and who wasn't floored by June Cleaver's fluent jive talk? Once in a while I still find myself saying "It looks like I picked the wrong week to . . ."

I don't know how it escaped me, but I never knew until now that James Arness was Graves' brother. Handsome men, both of them.
 
I did like Peter Graves in Airplane!

but, the sight gags!!!!! I am sure most of us saw the gay air traffic controller and the front loading radar screen......
and the one of the organic matter and the fan.

As good as Airplane! was, I remember Peter Graves best for "Mission Impossible." I was allowed to watch it in summer reruns. It was on too late during the school year.

Poor dead Jonny.
"I can make a hat, or a broach, or a pterydactyle!"
"That dress is awful, and those shoes, and that coat!"
"It looks like a big Tylenol!"
"Auntie Em, Uncle Henry, Toto, it's a twister, it's a twister!"

There were so many great lines and running gags in that movie. Graves had his share:
"Ever seen a grown man naked?"
"Ever been in a Turkish prison?"
And the banter between the flight deck crew with Graves and KA Jabbar (Roger. Who?).

I get to watch M.I. now on ALN, so that's pretty cool! They did the best sh*t on that show. Remember melting the gold from the dictator's safe?

RIP.
