Airport 77

I just watched this movie again after buying the novel that tied in with the movie (which had movie pictures inside) at a garage sale. This Airport was always a favorite of mine and it had some wonderful actors in it, most of whom gave great and believable performances. I especially liked Lee Grant's unhappy alcoholic wife and James Stewart's dying millionaire. Those two and the other great actors in the movie were very memorable and there wasn't much overacting, which was nice. I tried to watch The Concorde: Airport 79 (yes, I have the Airport Terminal Pack on DVD), but the DVD paused and froze for some reason, so I couldn't watch it. I know that Airport pales in comparison to 77, but it's still mildly entertaining.

I really loved Brenda Vaccaro in it. She was really tough and had that raspy sexy voice I adore to this day. The finale with the slow sinking of the plane and the escape was a great nail-biter. Probably my favorite in the franchise.

These movies tend to be on Encore Avenue now and then. This one I watched, mainly because I kept hearing about the plane crashing in the Bermuda Triangle. Okay film though.

This Airport was the first one I saw if I remember correctly and it is probably the best or one of the better ones. I love the cast, as well. So many of them were current or future TV and movie stars: Pamela Bellwood, Monte Markham, Robert Foxworth, M. Emmet Walsh, to name a few. It's fun to spot them. What an exciting movie.

I have the Airport Terminal Pack, too! I love all of these movies. I must say Airport 77 grew on me after a couple of watchings.

Next time you see me, it won't be me

I love Brenda Vaccaro's voice...she made raspy sexy before Demi Moore did.
