A still from Planes, Trains and Automobiles (1987)

Planes, Trains and Automobiles (1987)

Rated 4 out of 5Dir. John Hughes

A screwball comedy with heart. John Candy is a treasure in this - warm, funny, and quietly devastating. Steve Martin plays exasperation perfectly, but Candy is the soul of the film. It’s chaotic and silly and then it turns and becomes something beautiful.

They don’t really make them like this anymore.
