Planes, Trains, & Automobiles (1987)

I have three names for you that tell you why this is a classic movie and they are the late John Hughes (The Breakfast Club), the legendary comedian the late John Candy (Uncle Buck), and the other legendary comedian Steve Martin (The Jerk). This is a movie about Neal Page (Martin), a guy who works in the corporate world, who is way too into his way of life. Page is sort of running late for the airport so he can get home to his family when he meets Del Griffith (Candy), a regular ordinary everyday kind of salesman. Del is a kind of a klutz at times throughout the movie as he tries to help Page get home because their flights to Chicago were cancelled and they ended up in Kansas. There is a great point to this movie and it happens along the way when Candy sort of changes Martin from an uptight jerk to a normal human being. There are way too many funny scenes to name in this movie as it proved Martin and Candy made a great comedy tag team. A scene that sticks out in my mind is when Martin gets the rental car but it's not there and when he confronts the woman behind the desk (Edie McClurg) and the situation gets hectic with Martin swearing at her up and down. The movie features some cameos by Michael McKean (This Is Spinal Tap), Kevin Bacon (Footloose), and Ben Stein (Ferris B I give this movie Three And The Half Stars Out Of Five
