The only real Thanksgiving movie I know of. Or at least a good one.
Fantastic movie for sure. Martin and Candy were the perfect duo for the movie.
Eberts review for the movie is a fantastic read too

One of my mom`s favorite movies, we usually watch it together during Thanksgiving dinner (in Oct here in Canada...).
Not even Thanksgiving here, but now I have to watch it. Getting all emotional over here and shit already.
True dat! A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving and also Miracle on 34th Street starts off on the Tday Parade!

I should have clarified I'm watching the Blu Ray. My bad. Just curious if anybody else watches it around Thanksgiving.
Whats crazy is, every year I mean to watch this and it's on my radar. Total 80s kid here, but I never get around to it. So.. this year I'll fix it and watch tomorrow.
This movie, King Kong Vs Godzilla and Mighty Joe Young were Holiday Traditions in my house as long back as I could remember (obvious PTA came later)
It's important to keep up with traditions.

You know that moment when he rides the train alone and he thinks about his family but also his time with Del? Yeah, that's the real shit.

Unfortunately not. Amazon only has it if you have the Starz subscription.
Also this Saturday will be the 30th Anniversary of its release.
One of my favorite comedies, it's one of those movies you can just see it on and rewatch it time and again. John Hughes really knew how to nail those movies and John Candy, absolutely love him as an actor.
Every movie he was in he just came off like a genuinely nice and warm guy.
Also for any other John Candy fans I'd recommend Nothing but Trouble if you enjoy b-movie horror/comedies (it's not for everyone). It was a very surreal and over the top movie made back in the early 90's from none other then Dan Aykroyd (who plays a role in the movie as well as a creepy Judge) along with Chevy Chase/Demi Moore and John Candy who plays two roles in the movie, a level headed cop and the Judges daughter (who has the hots for Chevy Chase), always thought it was underrated (slammed by the critics when it came out, Dan Aykroyd never directed another movie after that).

I really fuckin miss John Candy, he's one of my comedy heroes. Was genuinely upset when he died and still a huge fan even now. Planes, Trains... is easily his best film but I love him in everything he's ever been in. I'm glad that he was supposedly an absolute sweetheart in real life too. The last 10mins in Planes, Trains... get me everytime.
Rest in peace big man.

Heh, saw this for the first time yesterday and enjoyed the hell out of it.
Gotta say, I was not prepared for the scene where Steve Martin starts dropping the F bombs, seemed like a wholesome family comedy up until that point lol.

Yep I feel the same way. I absolutely love Candy and most of his films and roles. I really wish his SCTV stuff was available because I've never seen it before.
Uncle Buck is absolute favorite for me right next to this.
Wait a minute, is this not on any streaming service this year? What kind of cheap, lying, no-good, rotten, four-flushing, low-life, snake-licking, dirt-eating, inbred, overstuffed, ignorant, blood-sucking, dog-kissing, brainless, dickless, hopeless, heartless, fat-ass, bug-eyed, stiff-legged, spotty-lipped, worm-headed sack of monkey shit would cause this?
One of the best movies ever made. It's one of my favourites and something I wish I'd discovered and watched before adulthood.
Same with Uncle Buck
I watched part of it recently

For me this is one of my favorite comedies of all time, right up there with Airplane. Watch it every year.
I love this movie. I think I've seen it for the first time about 4 years ago and it really is one of those "damn I wish I would've watched it earlier" movies.
Vudu has it for rent for $3.99 https://www.vudu.com/content/movies/details/Planes-Trains-and-Automobiles/16890
