I forgot the end of Planes, Trains and Automobiles goes full John Hughes and ended up blubbering like a baby.

Finally got to see this Classic American Holiday movie. It's said enough about this one, but what caught my attention is how much people smoke basically everywhere, in literally all public places. Some guys were smoking right in the bus while travelling between the cities, during a winter time with windows shut. I guess a lot of things did get better since 1987.

Once their paths have fatefully crossed, the short-tempered clean freak (Martin) just can't escape the orbit of the jovial, oafish shower curtain salesman (Candy) as More

Entertaining 1987 flick from John Hughes.

'Planes, Trains and Automobiles' is an enjoyable watch, pure and simple. The pairing of Steve Martin and John Candy is a great one, with both holding their own and bringing a lot of humour to events. Away from those two, you also have interesting More
