Planes, Trains & Automobiles

The theme of this month’s Throwback Thursday screenings is "New Year’s Resolutions," more specifically “resolutions gone wrong.” With Planes, Trains and Automobiles, that resolution is ‘travel more.’ Returning to Chicago for Thanksgiving with his family, easily annoyed businessman Neal Page (Steve Martin) finds his first-class plane ticket has been demoted to coach, and he must share his flight -- and, it turns out, the next 48 hours -- with obnoxious salesman Del Griffith (John Candy).
