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.
