Easily in my top 10 of most favorite movies. Could be top 5.

So many quotable lines, perfect pacing, just superb.

First movie I thought of when they said Grodin had passed. Fun movie, easy to watch, great chemistry.

Pretty tired of De Weirdo, so I don't watch his movies much anymore. But I would watch this one again.

To this day I cannot board a plane and not want to shout "These things come down! It's too big!"

Jack Walsh : I can't keep you cuffed on a commercial flight, and I gotta check my gun with my luggage, but you fuck with me once and I'm gonna break your neck.

Jonathan Mardukas : I can't fly.

Jack Walsh : What?

Jonathan Mardukas : You heard me, I can't fly.

Jack Walsh : No, no, no. You're going to have to do better than that, pal.

Jonathan Mardukas : No, I don't have to do better than that, because it's the truth, I can't fly: I suffer from aviaphobia.

Jack Walsh : What does that mean?

Jonathan Mardukas : It means I can't fly. I also suffer from acrophobia and claustrophobia.

Jack Walsh : I'll tell you what: if you don't cooperate, you're gonna suffer from "fistophobia".

The studio had wanted the role to go to Robin Williams, but the director was so impressed by Charles Grodin's audition and the chemistry between him and DeNiro that they made the studio change their mind and give the part to Grodin.

thankfully he didnt get that role. Robin Williams can be too much in small doses sometimes. in dramas he was fine mostly, in comedies he can be downright obnoxious with his overcompensating ad libbed jokes. Charles Grodin was so underrated, he was great in "The Lonely Guy" and nobody ever talks about that movie.
