Planes, Trains & Automobiles

[bassman]

One of the best films ever made. Imo.
John Candy was superb.

Don't get films like that these days.

Anyone else think it's right up there with the very best?

Some cracking scenes aswell.

100% - amazing film and one my all time faves.

On a similar note, I have just watched the Home Alone episode on Netflix series 'Movies that Made Us' - due to John Candy's busy schedule they had him for only one day, and Chris Columbus worked him for 23 hours! Despite his big name, his fee was $450 (the pizza delivery lad earned more money for his part in the film...) and was more of a personal favour to John Hughes. Don't think I've ever heard anyone say anything negative about him - seemed like a genuinely sound bloke.

It's set at Thanksgiving.

But shown at Christmas here as we don't have Thanksgiving.

I wadn't worry - she'll have said worse at school.

Well Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back are two of the best films ever, but there's others too.... The Godfather 1 & 2, Goodfellas, The Outlaw Josey Wales, Unforgiven, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Life of Brian, This Is Spinal Tap, Saving Private Ryan, Platoon, The French Connection, Terminator 2....

Generally I don’t like swearing in films, usually totally unnecessary, but spot on in that scene.

 

[Stormo]

Never seen it.

Ya missed off planes trains and automobiles mate

 

[Son of Stan]

Always liked the film, but the mushy ending is a bit too American for me.

 

[Al Bundy]

Excellent film.
Watched it a few weeks ago again

 

[Kid Galahad]

Always liked the film, but the mushy ending is a bit too American for me.

Seasonal schmaltz is what Americans do best! Great film and definitely one of the best Christmas films, obviously Die Hard, Trading Places and National Lampoons Christmas Vacation are the others, and the daddy being the schmaltztastic 'It's a Wonderful Life', attaboy Clarence
