What's The Greatest Thanksgiving Movie Of All Time?

But maybe that kind of movie is a bit much for grandma, so might I also recommend your family sit down to heaping helping of Planes, Trains, and Automobiles. You may have heard of this John Candy and Steve Martin vehicle about two mismatched weirdos trying to make it home for Thanksgiving, but I’m here to implore you to watch it today. Either again, or for the first time.

I don’t want to spoil too much, and I know you don’t want to read on your day off, but let me just say it’s one of the funniest and most heartwarming movies you’ll ever see. John Candy is an absolute delight as a traveling shower curtain ring salesman and all-around buffoon. It’s yet another reminder he was taken too soon. By contrast, Steve Martin plays a hilariously uptight sales exec and delivers one of the greatest profanity laden outbursts ever put to film. Watching the father of the bride hurl f-bombs like Jared Goff presumably threw interceptions yesterday (I’m writing this the day before the Lions play but, we all know what’s going to happen) is alone worth the price of admission. Grandma might not like that either, but she’ll be asleep by that point in the movie.
