60 of 229 · most liked firstThis clip of The Addams Family Values with Wednesday Addams (played by Christina Ricci) serving a helping of Thanksgiving realness is perhaps the core reason this film stands alongside Planes, Trains and Automobiles, The Wizard of Oz, and The Wiz as signature Thanksgiving movies!
neutral · AI labelView post →Planes, Trains, and Automobiles! No, not the movie,…just the things Trump’s been setting on fire since taking office!
neutral · AI labelView post →For the next three days, I will be “livestreaming” the film “Planes, Trains, and Automobiles.” I will post scenes *from* the film *on* the day and times shown in the film, with travel times researched using GPS. Care in accuracy is taken. All times displayed are local to the film. Please enjoy.

neutral · AI labelView post →Planes Trains and Automobiles makes clear why Thanksgiving isn’t the focus of many movies, because Thanksgiving is mostly a holiday about traveling and traveling fucking sucks and there’s already a good movie about it, Planes Trains and Automobiles

neutral · AI labelView post →Halloween is the best holiday movie wise and Christmas is de facto second but outside of Planes, Trains and Automobiles and Addams Family Values Thanksgiving really gets its ass beat.

positive · AI labelView post →Planes, Trains, and Automobiles is probably my favorite holiday movie. Just expertly cut, great sound direction, jokes set up with great pay-offs later in the movie. All around funny.

neutral · AI labelView post →If Donald Trump replaced John Candy in "Planes Trains and Automobiles" it would become a noir movie about Steve Martin murdering a fellow traveler and being unable to escape his crime
neutral · AI labelView post →Planes Trains and Automobiles is a Black Friday movie change my mind
positive · AI labelView post →Planes, Trains, and Automobiles followed by Tommy Boy… you’re not gonna find a better comfort movie doubleheader for fall. Scientists have tried, and they’ve failed.

neutral · AI labelView post →Planes, Trains, and Automobiles. Funny movie? Yep. Great actors? Yep. But the premise of everything going wrong as the protagonist just wants to go home is literally 95% of all of my nightmares. That movie triggers me.
negative · AI labelView post →Planes, Trains and Automobiles is the best Thanksgiving movie ever made. Nothing comes close... youtu.be/jRvNg4zQ_14?...

neutral · AI labelView post →100% Cody Rhodes would have had a better reception with AEW fans in 2021-22 if he responded to their demands to turn heel with a verbatim recital of John Candy's "I like me" monologue from the hit film Planes, Trains, and Automobiles.
neutral · AI labelView post →Tank Girl. It may just be a guilty pleasure but I'll defend it. I guess Starship Troopers is THE movie for this, although I'm always suprised to find out people used to like it unironically. Due date, with Robert Downey Jr and Galifianakis is a surprisingly earnest soft remake of Planes, Trains and Automobiles and nobody remembers it exists. Speaking of unexpectedly fun raunchy comedies, Booksmart. I want to say The Long Kiss Goodnight, but man, the action in that is janky in…
neutral · AI labelView post →I love the yearly Thanksgiving tradition of watching “Planes, Trains, and Automobiles.” It truly is a special film. The humor and heart that Steve & John bring is iconic. I treasure this line — and I try to remember it when I’m feeling down about myself. I love movies and what they bring to my life.
positive · AI labelView post →The car rental counter scene in Planes, Trains, and Automobiles always cracks me up. 100 years ago, I was dating a very religious girl whose family LOVED the film, but had only seen it on TV. I brought over the DVD one night. They all went ghost white after 19 f-bombs, and I was never allowed back.
positive · AI labelView post →#FebruaryMovieChallenge - favorite John candy film Planes Trains and Automobiles (1987) I always like John Candy. The man was eminently likable. But his opus magnum is this film. Del Griffith (shower curtain ring guy) can move us emotionally with a single glance. @omacolt.bsky.social
positive · AI labelView post →The Best Years of Our Lives (1946) – a William Wyler film with Myrna Loy and Frederic March. How can you go wrong? Planes, Trains and Automobiles is wonderful and charming. Planet of the Apes nails the homecoming twist: the world he fights to escape turns out to be his own ruined Earth all along

positive · AI labelView post →Time for Planes, Trains and Automobiles another cherished Christmas movie from my childhood.
positive · AI labelView post →My favorite fall movie will always be Planes, Trains, and Automobiles! Steve Martin and the late, great John Candy are perfect as the oddly matched duo questing to get home for turkey day.
positive · AI labelView post →Planes, Trains and Automobiles! The best holiday film!
positive · AI labelView post →Planes, Trains And Automobiles is such a wonderful film but god I wish Candy had gotten to deliver this cut monologue. I think “I don't get to give any of myself to anybody. It's not the getting I miss, it's the giving” is one of the most precise expressions of the agony of loneliness I’ve ever read
positive · AI labelView post →I live in NY and was just thinking about how it used to snow once a week when I was a kid, that was 20 years ago. I watched Planes, Trains, and Automobiles with Steve Martin and John Candy the other day and they were dealing with a Blizzard in Novemeber. I've barley had to put on a coat this year. Feels like I'm going crazy that it's already February and like you said there's been 1 real snow fall and it was gone within a couple days.

positive · AI labelView post →#FilmSky #MovieSky 153/365 a year’s worth of movies I love Planes, Trains and Automobiles (1987) A great, funny road trip film. Steve Martin is a top comedian on his own, and seems generous enough to let other performers shine brighter: from co-star Candy to bit player Edie McClurg.
