& don't forget Captain Over & Captain Ungar on the classic Nielson punny flik,
"Airplane!"

classic dialogue from this movie:

You better tell this captain we've got to land as soon as we can. This woman
has to be gotten to a hospital.
>A hospital! What is it?
It's a big building with patients, but that's not important right now.

oh, here's the actual over/roger dialogue:

Roger Murdock: Flight 2-0-9er, you are cleared for take-off.
Captain Oveur: Roger!
Roger Murdock: Huh?
Tower: L.A. departure frequency, 123 point 9’er.
Captain Oveur: Roger!
Roger Murdock: Huh?
Victor Basta: Request vector, over.
Captain Oveur: What?
Tower: Flight 2-0-9er cleared for vector 324.
Roger Murdock: We have clearance, Clarence.
Captain Oveur: Roger, Roger. What’s our vector, Victor?
Tower: Tower’s radio clearance, over!
Captain Oveur: That’s Clarence Oveur. Over.
Tower: Over.
Captain Oveur: Roger.
Roger Murdock: Huh?
Tower voice: Roger, over!
Roger Murdock: What?
Captain Oveur: Huh?
Victor Basta: Who?

Your friend,
