30 Years Have Past Since the Movie Airplane Opened!

Time flies. For a quick proof, you can read this nerdy article about the making of the 1980 hit movie Airplane. "Do you like gladiator movies?" As a 14 year old, I think I knew that the pilot was a strange dude.

For a second piece of evidence, consider Han Solo from Star Wars. My son has watched Star Wars Movies 4-6 at least 5 times each but when my wife showed him a photo of Harrison Ford and his recent marriage as reported in People Magazine --- my son had no idea who "the old dude" was.
