Following the not-so-spectacular "Airport 1975" comes "Airport '77" which is a welcome addition to the Disaster Movie genre. In typical "Airport" fashion, a routine plane ride, this time carrying various celebrities and other high-profile people, gets into some trouble when... Full review

OK, so this isn't the greatest film ever made, but not all films have to be Shakespeare to be entertaining. I mean, have you seen some of the garbage big stars make today? It's not all for the Oscars, believe me.... Full review

Jack Lemmon is the unfortunate pilot, and Christopher Lee shows up along with Brenda Vaccaro, Joseph Cotten, and Olivia de Havilland.
Oxygen (and credibility) grows short, and Jimmy Stewart plays an art collector targeted for a heist.

Airport 77 goes down as a really dull film.
The movie performed well at the box office.
Actually, the best performance of the lot and the only one that stands out from the crowd comes from Lee Grant.
