Anybody watching Planes, Trains, & Automobiles?

It's the best Thanksgiving film. Anyone else who disagrees can eat dirt.

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.

In the hotel scene, there are hand prints on the wall above the bed.

I think it's Hughes's best directorial work.

That's what makes it so brilliant. John Hughes had this way of writing movies that could skirt that line of being both good family movies but also more adult comedy pints that weren't held back. Things aren't forced, the inclusion of Steven Martin saying the f word in a movie that otherwise has almost no cursing in it really drives home the point of just how pissed his character and felt natural, not to mention it was damn memorable because of that.

Even though it's rated R most people would be completely comfortable showing it to their families.

I'm watching it now...I've lost count the amount of times I've seen this film, I know all the gags but my God it just gets funnier.

My face is hurting and it's only half way through.

I WANT A FUCKING CAR

That and the "You're going the wrong way"
