Planes, Trains and Automobiles-1987

Neal Page (Steve Martin-The Jerk, Three Amigos, The Man with Two Brains, Dead Men Wear Plaid) is pitching a sales job and when finished must travel home for the holidays. He plans his flight for right after the meeting and hopes to make it in time. Unfortunately, NY traffic totally bites.

Del Griffith (John Candy-Summer Rental, Volunteers, Uncle Buck) is also in NY and must travel back to Chicago. 

There are no two people polar opposites than these. The well gathered, conservative, traditional Page is no match for the slovenly, happy go lucky Griffith. It seems no matter what happens, their luck keeps getting worse. 

Follow the fun as they live adventure by adventure while trying to beat the clock. Thanksgiving is getting closer, but can these two strangers become friends in spite of sabotaging their chances of getting home?

Watch the fights, the fires, the theft, the creative travel, and especially deer in a very hilarious story.

Great quotes include:

Neal: Del... Why did you kiss my ear?
Del: Why are you holding my hand?
Neal:Where's your other hand?
Del: Between two pillows...
Neal: Those aren't pillows!
Planes, Trains and Automobiles is a great adventure and totally gnarly John Hughes movie. It's almost fit for the entire family except for the 5 minute F-Bomb exchange at the car rental counter.

Summer Rental


Summer Rental (1985). John Candy (Splash, Trains, Planes, Trains and Automobiles, Canadian Bacon) stars as Jack Chester, an air traffic controller. He is under a lot of stress and barely avoids a major air catastrophe by mistaking a fly for an airplane. The solution; take his family on a much needed vacation.
However, location isn’t everything. The Chesters soon learn that trying to get good old dad to relax is going to be one catastrophic event after another. Men try to date his wife and daughter, a preppy yachtsman challenges him to a race and so many more adventures await.
Summer Rental also stars Kerri Green, Joey Lawrence, John Larroquette, Karen Austin, and Richard Crenna
Summer Rental is an excellent and fun fabulous 80’s movie. This movie takes you from the boiling room pressure cooker of an FAA control tower to the supposedly tranquil beach vacation.
Awesome soundtrack includes Footloose and Axel F. Yeah, you’ve heard them before and now you can hear them on Summer Rental. See it now.

This movie is rated PG-13
