Planes, Trains and Automobiles (1987)

Genre: Comedy
Directed by: John Hughes
Cast: Steve Martin, John Candy, Laila Robins 
Running Time: 92 minutes

 


Neal Page is an uptight man working as a marketing executive. As he is trying to make his way back home to Chicago for Thanksgiving, from a business trip in New York, weather conditions are getting in his way. He finds a new traveling partner in Del Griffith, a nice but overbearing shower curtain ring salesmen. With the clumsiness of an elephant in a china shop, Del tries to help Neal, by any means necessary, find his way back home.

The on-screen chemistry between Steve Martin and John Candy was amazing. They carried that story on their shoulders, masterfully directed by Hughes. This movie is laugh-out-loud funny and also sweet at times. I loved it.
