Planes Trains and Automobiles

Looking for a classic comedy to stream over the Thanksgiving holiday? It doesn’t get much better than Planes, Trains and Automobiles!

Written and directed by John Hughes, the 1987 film stars the theatrical dream team of Steve Martin (Neal, a curmudgeon) and John Candy (Del, affable but annoying) as two mismatched business men who embark on a hilariously doomed three-day road trip. The legendary ’80s film also features appearances by Michael McKean, Kevin Bacon, Laila Robins, and Ben Stein.

“Now are you gonna help me or are you gonna stand there like a slab of meat with mittens?”
