Contains Spoilers Throughout.

This exists to record my thoughts on movies, and occasionally other stuff. Too often my thoughts on something go unthunk for a while and eventually forgotten. I figure if I invested time in something in the first place, it's worth a few more minutes to make sure I remember it.

Planes, Trains & Automobiles (1987)

I loved it!  I can’t believe I never saw it before.  A Thanksgiving classic that I will probably watch many more times.  Steve and John kill it in every scene.  Fucking fucking fucking. The family story is a little weak but it’s not important, the relationship between he leads is all that matters.  I see now just how much Due Date ripped off this movie. And Tommy Boy didn’t exactly rip it off, but it took many cues from the dysfunctional buddy relationship here, especially in the car.  I’d stop to watch this on TV at any time.
