 The law of diminishing returns August 9, 2010

Let's cut to the cheese: Some of these movies are not good. The last one especially is a real turkey.
Still, I give this collection (Airport Terminal Pack, also confusingly titled "The Franchise Collection" on the boxed set) 3 stars because you get all four films for an MSRP of under twenty bucks (often on sale here for even less) and sometimes you just need a classic disaster flick. To be fair, you may not want to watch either of the last two sequels more than once.
The best by a long shot is the first effort. Airport was actually nominated for ten Oscars in 1970 (Helen Hayes was the only winner). Airport '75 (featuring the infamous mid-air pilot transfer) was the basis for many of the spoof jokes seen in Airplane!. The plot started getting ridiculous by Airport '77 (hijacked plane underwater in the Bermuda Triangle??), and a couple years later the script writers evidently decided to let it all hang loose with the (almost) so-bad-it's-good The Concorde...Airport '79.
The best part about this collection? Charting the career progress of George Kennedy's iconic Joe Patroni throughout the decade.
1970: Chief Mechanic ("They don't call them emergencies anymore. They call them Patronis")
1975: Vice President of Operations
1977: Aviation Consultant
1979: wait for it...Concorde pilot! ("They don't call it the cockpit for nothing, honey")
My middle-of-the-road rating also reflects the fact that all four movies are bundled on two double-sided discs, which are in my experience far more likely to scratch or even crack over time.
The Concorde: Airport 79' August 8, 2010

After seeing my Favorite Airplane! movies it's kind of hard not to ruin the Airport series of movies, and while this movie has been often criticized I liked it, *Spoiler*The Villain Ironically was to become a villain in real life and some say get away with it. (Wagner along with Walken and Natalie Woods, Who Did it?) The effects look compared to now outdated but don't let take away from an otherwise serious and yet good movie.

AIRPORT, AIRPORT 77, AND AIRPORT 79 ARE GOOD SOLID MOVIES..MYSELF I COULD DO WITHOUT THE CONCORD.............IN SOME CASES THE MORE SEQUELS THE WEAKER THEY GET..........

I enjoyed all of the airport movies. Good effects for the time in which they were made.
