John Hughes' 1987 comedy Planes, Trains and Automobiles is a perennial holiday favorite. Starring Steve Martin and John Candy, the film follows two unfortunate travelers who try to get home for Thanksgiving, only to encounter one obstacle after another. Martin's fussy ad executive Neal Page finds himself all but shackled to Candy's shower curtain ring salesman Del Griffith. While Del is a friendly individual, he has an overbearing soul who has a knack for getting them into all kinds of trouble before bailing them both out. Besides a hilarious exploration of the trials and travails of holiday travel, the film is a quiet study in class differences, as the well-off Page learns to appreciate the working-class Griffith's bottomless practicality and joie de vivre.
