Miscellaneous Movie Musings

Towering Inferno is a hoot. Not a very good movie, but a hoot regardless.

Airport is a really good film, if a bit of a melodrama. More of a quality thriller really. Great cast - Burt Lancaster, Dean Martin, Jacqueline Bisset, Helen Hayes and, yes, George Kennedy originating the role of Joe Patroni that would "grace" many of the really crappy sequels that were pathetic disaster movie descendents.

Of course, The Towering Inferno had a great cast, too. I guess it's what you do with it.
