I can’t think of anything better than Airplane. Any film that requires close attention might be a bad idea. Airplane is still funny --IMO-- and there’s a chance 19 yo kids haven’t seen it. I don’t remember explicit sex scenes. Other possibilities: Oh Brother Where Art Thou The Incredibles Scott Pilgrim vs the World (it’s PG-13 with a bedroom scene or two) Help! (The Beatles) is a fun romp that doesn’t require close attention – but it may be not be available. Beetlejuice I recommend Big Fish to anyone young or old. ---

Airplane is still funny --IMO-- and there’s a chance 19 yo kids haven’t seen it. I don’t remember explicit sex scenes… The closest it comes is the NO FUCKING warning sign in the aircraft, and the woman who steps out and shakes her boobs during the everyone-panic scene. Oh, and the smooching in the surf a la _From Here to Eternity_. ---
