We don’t just like John Candy—we love him. And it truly doesn’t get better than Planes, Trains and Automobiles, a beloved, big-hearted tour de farce.
Getting there is double the fun with John Candy and Steve Martin in a personality clash of comedy titans. Traveling hell becomes a helluva ride when a disastrous mad dash to get home for the holidays becomes the destination for comic gold. Flights might get delayed, trains might break down, automobiles might go ablaze, but funny is funny. It’s the kinetic warmth and unmistakable John Candy charm that turns hijinks into hilarity you feel from your heart down to your pillows.
And don’t rush off when the credits roll—stick around for a special conversation with the team behind the documentary John Candy: I Like Me. The discussion features Director/Producer Colin Hanks, Producer Ryan Reynolds, and Co-Executive Producers Jennifer Candy-Sullivan and Chris Candy.
SOLD OUT! We will have a standby line available, but entry is not guaranteed.
Kick off Valentine’s weekend with Timothée Chalamet in person for a special presentation of Call Me by Your Name at one of Los Angeles’ most storied movie palaces.
Chalamet’s performance as Elio Perlman—hailed as one of the most indelible screen debuts of the modern era—earned him an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor, making him one of the youngest nominees in the category’s history. The role has since become a cultural touchstone, celebrated for its emotional precision, vulnerability, and lasting influence on contemporary romantic cinema.
Directed with lyrical restraint by Luca Guadagnino and written by Academy Award winner James Ivory, Call Me by Your Name received multiple Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture, and is underscored by the aching, unforgettable music of Sufjan Stevens. Set against sunlit Italian landscapes, the film endures as a modern classic—both intimate and monumental.
This rare screening takes place inside the magnificent Los Angeles Theatre and marks the final evening of the American Cinematheque’s Timothée Chalamet tribute series, culminating in an onstage conversation with Chalamet himself, moderated by Zane Lowe. Tickets available here.
Before and after the film, guests are invited to fully embrace the romance of the night—with a free photobooth, a dance party to shake off the longing, and a full bar to toast to love– all unfolding across five breathtaking floors of movie palace grandeur.
A landmark performance. A celebrated film. A once-in-a-lifetime evening—designed to be felt, remembered, and shared. Celebrate Valentine’s weekend with us.
Co-presented by American Cinematheque as part of their in-person retrospective series: TIMOTHÉE CHALAMET LIVE
