So glad to see another awesome video, thank you for all that you do to brighten up our lives! You are the best!

I miss John Candy :(

John Candy was truly a GOAT. He could go from gentle and heartbreaking to manic cackling in a beat. We lost a lot of great potential when he passed.

“Where’s your other hand? Between two pillows. Those aren’t pillows!” Absolutely great.

Neal: He says we're going the wrong way... Del: Oh, he's drunk. How would he know where we're going?

Rest in peace John Candy. You gave me so many laughs through my entire life. May you continue to make everyone happy, wherever you are.

We just don't get comedies or comedians like this anymore. I love this movie.

I would buy that 4- hour version in a heartbeat!

Cop: "What the hell are you driving?" John Candy: "We had a small fire last night, but we caught it in the nick-of-time." Cop: "Do you have any idea how fast you were going?" John Candy: "No, the speedometer's melted, and as a result, it's hard to say with any degree of accuracy haw fast we were going...but the radio still works!"

"Her first baby come out sideways, she didn't scream or nothing"

I always loved how John Candy displayed his Casio watch for the hotel guy.

When John Candy turned into the devil, I laughed so hard I couldn't breath. That scene came out of nowhere!

My aunt Debb grew up with John Candy as her next door neighbor, the Candy's love her family so much that when they moved to another part of Ontario, the Candy's sold their house too and move next door again. Later on in life, Debb was surprised that Johnny the funny fat kid next door actually made something big out of himself.

These two men together on film was pure magic.

I love this film. A comedy with a ton of heart. John Hughes created so much gold in the 80s.

"I've never seen a guy get picked up by his testicles before." John Candy, you are missed.

Planes, trains, and automobiles is a classic comedy, and I'm with you on wanting to see the longer cut if it exists!

That rant at the car rental was epic. Heard that was a scene Steve Martin was looking forward to doing in the movie.

Fun fact: the snowy overpass Steve Martin slides down at Lambert St Louis airport is still there and still looks exactly the same.

This movie going from a PG rating to an R rating was totally worth it because that rental car scene was hilarious.

I have to disagree, Minty. The hallucination scene where they turned into skeletons is anything but creepy. First time I saw that scene I couldn't stop laughing, and John Candy turning into the devil was the cherry on top. Probably my favorite scene in the whole movie. Truly an underrated movie. Planes, Trains and Automobiles is a perfect Thanksgiving experience, imo.

dutch was written by hughes and is a thanksgiving road trip movie

The other Thanksgiving road movie is "Dutch", also a John Hughes flick and a yearly must see.

Oooooh, this is my most, all-time favourite movie; this film always makes me laugh, and breaks my heart when John Candy is sitting all alone in the train station at the end. Also when Neal has that mean rant at dell in the motel room, near the start of the film, and Dell's response is so genuine and pure of heart. I love the part when they wake up in the same bed and Neal has his hand "between two pillows." I purchased the soundtrack to this movie, the songs in this are awesome. I wish so much that John Hughes and John Candy were still alive, the world needs this kind of heartwarming, friendly humour again. There are so many epic, awesome moments in this movie; I watch this a bunch of times every year, especially at Christmas.

Absolutely one of my all-time favorite films. Any "road warrior" has experienced every one of the multiple travel disasters portrayed here. It's especially poignant for me because the STL-Lambert International Airport has always been my personal "Bermuda Triangle" of sorts. A transportation black hole I can never seem to escape. So, for Neil's F-Bomb meltdown to happen, in exactly the spot where I, too, SO WANTED and NEEDED to let it rip, was (and remains) the ultimate fulfillment of a long simmering dream of mine.

“I’m not crying, you’re crying.” A must-watch every year. Great job!

Love this movie two great actors in one movie John candy legend comedian who died too early.

4 hour cut of this movie? BRING IT ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’d LOVE to see the four-hour version. Planes, Trains and Automobiles is one of my very best movies!

They don't make classics like this anymore. John Candy I really miss his onscreen presence. Still remember when he passed I was in high school, that was a very sad day.

Loved this movie, was a great showcase of John Candy's comedic supremacy

“Spy’s like Us” was another great movie too. “Dirty, Rotten Scandrals”, “The Jerk” so many great movies. Oh, “The Great Outdoors”

"You'd have more of a better chance to find a three legged ballerina than you would a hotel room." " Larry Bird doesn't do as much ball handling in one night as you do in an hour." LOL

A Great funny movie. Loved John Candy Rip

I saw this when I was a kid on home video. I remember my mom losing her mind when Steve Martin went on his f-bomb tirade. That aside, this movie is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen and the ending still makes me cry. Every. Fucking. Time. RIP John Candy.

My family has been watching this movie annually at Thanksgiving since we got the Laserdisc in 1988! Love this movie!

This is one of my favorite movies of all time. I still laugh every time I see it. RIP John Candy. You left this world too soon.

LOVE this movie and is my traditional Thanksgiving movie every year. Yeah that ending still gets even to this day and I'm glad they scrapped the original ending.

"You're going the wrong way!"

One of the greatest comedy movies ever, I used to watch it over and over again growing up.

Hands down my favorite Thanksgiving movie. After spending nearly the entire movie laughing, the part at the train station comes out of the blue and lays waste to you. Brilliantly written and brilliantly played by Steve and John.

I believe "Dutch" was also a Thanksgiving road movie

“Those aren’t pillows”

The truck scene with Candy turning into the devil was NEVER scary but absolutely hilarious. Candy dressed in a child-like devil costume made it all the more funny. From the first time I saw it right up until today one of the best and hilarious scenes in the movie. Right up there with Steve Martin cursing out poor Edie McClurg at the car rental place. Classic movie.

"I've never seen a guy get picked up by his testicles before. Lucky thing for you that cop passed by when he did, otherwise you'd be lifting up your schnuts to tie your shoes. I'm sorry, that's terrible. Do you have any idea how glad I am I didn't kill you?" (high voice) "Do you have any idea how glad I'd be if you had?" HAHAHAHA!!!!

John Candy R.I.P. Thank you for so many funny memories. Minty can you please do The Great Outdoors, or Summer Rental. (John Candy classics.)

"You fiddled with it til you broke it." "That's ridiculous! How do you break a car seat?"

So glad they kept the car rental desk scene. The cheery clerk's last line was a perfect zinger.

I'd watch the 4-hour version!

I ❤ John Candy, how can you name a favourite performance when all of his were pure magic.

"The lawyer from Jurassic Park..." ...also known as "Izzy" Moreno, the Cuban informant, a regular from Miami Vice

Surprised you didn't mention that the Home Alone house was used 3 years before Home Alone was released

"its a funny scene" Hello, its my ALL TIME FAV scene Steve Martin dropping F bombs !!!

This movie really was a work of pure genius...as this video goes on I realize how much I truly love John Hughes movies. He is desperately missed.

Awesome!! Still got this on dvd. I watch it.....often! It's.........pure!!! GOLD!

"I want a fkn car RIGHT. FKN. NOW" 🤣😭

To me, it's THE John Hugh's masterpiece! And interesting tidbits you found Minty. As much as I'd love to see the "directors cut", I think it might be like The Blues Brothers. Though interesting to see the extra scenes, it just killed the pace and humor of the movie for me. The maturity of the movie I'd say is just right for 13+. The F bombs are gratuitous, but I'm sure kids hear more on the street on any given day than in one movie. And the scene between the two trucks to me is the funniest scene of ANY comedy movie! Though nightmarish, the editing is done so well there's nothing overpowering in the sequence, unless you step through it frame by frame and pause on it.

#9 is debatable. I’ve read that they shot the dinner (the flash scenes that Neil thinks about while going home in the train, was the original ending)... and Del was apart of that dinner. Another little interesting fact: The reason Del has a black eye towards the end of the movie is Bc Neil punches him after finding out Del didn’t get insurance for the rental car - which was used under Neil’s credit card.

PTA is a definite 80s classic with a superb soundtrack.

Would love to see that 4 hours director's cut ...

This movie showed that Martin and Candy were not only great comedic performers, but also very competent actors. It' a shame that we lost Candy way too early, and that Martin has pretty much lost interest in making movies. People should also look up the number of films that John Hughes was involved in, whether writing, directing, or producing, it's amazing how prolific he was. Yeah, he's got a couple of stinkers in there, but overall a very good track record.

Love this film....an underrated comedy classic,...I must have watched it over 100 times, and it never loses its comedic shimmer,..the proof of a great film

Heck yeah Minty. I would definitely watch a 4 hour cut of this classic film

Love this movie. One of many great performances John Candy gave us ... 😎☺️

10 things you didn’t know about Blazing Saddles

We'd have more luck finding a three legged ballerina, we'd have more luck playing pick up sticks with our butt cheeks. 🤣

"Gobble gobble! Bloolooloolooloo!"

I’m so glad that the car rental scene was left in, as it’s my favourite scene in the whole movie and gets me every time.

Love this movie! "YOU'RE GOING THE WRONG WAY!!!"🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I swear, this movie tells my travel adventures with my uncle, who was every bit as big as John Candy. Everything just seemed to go wrong. Delays, no hot water in the hotel, rental car problems, problems with staff at restaurants. It seemed to never end. I don't miss it at all, but this movie sure brings back those memories.

The F-bomb scene is my favorite. I am so glad they kept it in.

Watch this movie every Thanksgiving. Some of it was made in my home town of buffalo NY. So glad you did this movie minty. A few years back me and my family kinda had a planes trains and automobiles situation trying to get to my hubbys family in Wales UK. We never got there either. I kept hearing the music from the movie in my head everytime we had a problem on that trip.

When in comes to terrifying moments in otherwise family-friendly movies, I'd like to add the Cyborg sister at the end of Superman 3, and the Beta Unit with the gooey face from Last Starfighter. Nightmare fuel, the both of them.

"Are you going to help me are just stand there like a slab of meat with mittens" 🤣🤣

One of my favorite comedies. Steve Martin and John Candy have great chemistry together. Wonderful comedic scenes, heartwarming ending. I need to buy this movie!

This is one of my favorite movies of all time. Thanks, Minty! Your reviews never disappoint!

4 1/2 hour cut of PT&A? Yup, I'm in...

They need a directors cut of this movie...And yes I know it would be 3 hours long...I read the book that the editor just wrote, Paul Hirsh.

Best Movie Ever--i would definitely watch the 4 hour cut. There are soooo many classic scenes and bits in this gem.

A friend of mine met and hung out with John Candy. He was very much like the characters he played. A big loveable lug.

I saw this the day it came out and still think it's one of the BEST ever Comedies and I always wondered why CANDY and MARTIN did not do another movie together! They worked perfectly together on this one! The F scene still makes me laugh every time! I heard a long time ago about all the extra scenes and always wanted to see those some day!

The first time I saw Martin's f-bomb tirade, I was almost on the floor I was laughing so hard.

Those aren't PILLOWS!!! Another great one, Minty💘💘💘💘💘💘💘

As an American I appreciate that a comedy centered around a U.S. tradition has universal appeal. My family discovered an Australian comedy called THE CASTLE that is both hilarious and heartwarming. I think it’s even free on KZfaq. I’d love it if Minty did an video endorsing it because even in Texas my family quotes this film regularly.

Jeri Ryan the ultimate Star trek Babe.

The "large Marge" scene was filmed in Lemoore California on the 198. They had to use fake snow along the edges of the highway for the scene

The scene where Candy and Martin turn into skeletons was one of the funniest moments in the movie. An absolute riot. Candy laughing like the devil, both almost being killed, the car’s sided trashed. One of the most humorous things ever put on film.

Great video Minty. This is a fan favorite of mine and its sad to see how it has very little air time nowadays and how some people have forgotten this Thanksgiving classic. I watch it every year as I do with other holiday films and for being a film about Thanksgiving, Im surprised its not highly remembered here in the states. Anyway great job on the video and cant wait for more holiday videos in the future.

"I can take anything; I've been with Del Griffith! ... Here's a good idea: Have a POINT. It makes it so much more interesting for the listener!"

Still my favorite John Candy movie. Yes, even more than Uncle Bucl or even Spaceballs!

One of the very best comedies of ALL time.

Another great one Minty. Thanks from all your fans in the States. Plus yeah I'd love to see the original cut.

I heard they had a hell of a time finishing the scene where they were spooning. Neither Martin nor Candy could hold in the laughter.

The skeletons get overlooked because there is too much going on at the same time and goes by too fast

I just watched this yesterday and watch it every year Absolute classic

Nooooo the keleton devil scene was pure comic genius. Even as a kid I laughed my ass off!

I was, personally, laughing my butt off during the scene where Martin and Candy drove between the trucks.
