Airplane, Naked Gun, whaterver
If you've never seen Airplane! or The Naked Gun, you've missed out on perhaps the most gloriously insane pair of performances by actor Leslie Nielsen, legendary B-Movie star and straightman, who achieved cinematic brilliance in these roles.
"Brilliance? Surely you jest."
No, I'm serious. And don't call me Shirley.
Here's a clip from a recent appearance on a morning happy-talk show marking the anniversary of one of the films, which Nielsen marks with rude noises and an anecdote from the wrong movie.
