Question

Name the film: "I am serious, and don't call me Shirley!"

Correct Answer: Airplane!

The line is from "Airplane!" and delivered by Leslie Nielsen as Dr. Rumack with a face so straight you could use it as a ruler. A certified comedy classic, the movie's secret weapon was casting serious actors to deliver increasingly bizarre lines in an increasingly bizarre situation. Nielsen, who'd spent decades in dramatic roles, found his comedy career really took off after this one.
