The best Thanksgiving movie ever!

When jittery advertising executive Neal Page (Steve Martin) is trying to go home for Thanksgiving, he gets stuck with boorish shower ring salesman Del Griffith (John Candy). Their experiences over the next two days are some of the funniest moments ever to grace the silver screen. The best parts are the "pillow" scene, the car rental scene, and the freeway scene (warning: you may very well laugh yourself to death). But overall, the reason that the movie is so good is because we come to understand why these two men are like they are.

I can't do "Planes, Trains & Automobiles" justice by trying to describe it. You have to see it to understand how hilarious it is. You won't have a dull moment in it.

My favourite John Hughes film

Planes, Trains and Automobiles for me is nothing short of a classic. It is sentimental yes, but it is also very funny, heartwarming and touching. John Hughes does a great job with the direction, and the film looks beautiful with the cinematography truly lovely especially. The music is a nice touch, while the story is a beautiful and I think heartwarming one and the script is full of funny and poignant parts. Then there is the chemistry between Steve Martin and John Candy. These two are outstanding together, and individually both are wonderful, particularly Candy- to be honest I can imagine very few who can play the role as well as Candy did, he was well and truly one of a kind. Overall, wonderful and a classic. 10/10 Bethany Cox

One of the best of the 1980s

PLANES, TRAINS & AUTOMOBILES is one of the best American comedies of the 1980s. I say this as somebody who's grown up and loved the film since I was a child. I'm no great fan of John Hughes, but I think this is a clear best for him as director; it's a wonderfully funny film, with great performances, direction, music and script.

Steve Martin - who's never been better as the snarky marketing executive - plays the straight man to John Candy's salesman buffoon, and the comic interplay between these two is great, like a modern-day Laurel and Hardy. The comedy comes thick and fast, mixing situational with extreme humour and slapstick besides, and there's some time for characterisation in there too.

One of my favourite things about this production is that it isn't drenched in a saccharine sweetness as with so many. Sure, there's some poignance here, but when included it's oddly touching and rather moving. The lengthy journey-by-car sequence is the stuff of brilliance.
