More from our list of the Top 50 films of the last 50 years. Today, Dave tackles 1977-1986. But can he avoid putting in such nostalgic favourites as Police Academy 1, 2 and 3? Yes. Yes, he can.
1977-1986

10. Airplane! (1980)
Airplane! should come with a government health warning. With a joke at least every second, it’s sometimes difficult to breathe while watching. Jim Abrahams and David Zucker are single-handedly responsible for creating the spoof movie as we know it (ya, Mel Brooks is good, but these guys are better) Despite having encouraged countless pathetic imitations, Airplane! remains untarnished and endlessly watchable to this day.
