Reacting to PLANES, TRAINS AND AUTOMOBILES (1987) | Movie Reaction - Zábava
"Those aren't pillows!". One of my favorite lines ever.
Ditto. I was going to say the same thing.
I lent this to a guy who never seen it and loved it so much he bought the, "those aren't pillows", special edition
Totally agree!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yep , really couldn’t tell u how many times I have seen this too the point I can’t watch it anymore because I know every word
How bout those Bears?
Uncle Buck is usually everyones favorite John Candy role but Del Griffith is mine, just so heartbreaking and loveable and kind, the chemistry between him and Steve Martin is just perfection
Only the Lonely is mine.
Him in Cool Runnings is mine
They had to cut the lady being eaten to death (not literally haha) on the bus who was originally in the scene because she kept laughing lol.
John Hughes really related to every kind of person, didn't he? Clever kids, mixed up teenagers, adults in crisis, normal everyday fools... what a genius.
And, sin-obsessed psycopaths
And seem to really hate teachers , when those are always pictured as monsters in his movies .
Really relate to "everyone".. yeah, as long as they were wealthy upper class yuppies from the Chicago suburbs. Working class people in his movies are buffoons, criminals, or both... black people are either old bluesmen or they steal your hubcaps, and Asian people are ridiculous horny cartoon characters with names like "Long Duk Dong". I think, generally, he made really fun movies but dont give me this "related to everyone" jive
@@pete_lind Ben Stein wasn't a monster, just boring
It's just a shame that after Beethoven in 1992 everything he created was utter shit. At some point in 1992 his 'mojo' was stolen and so his movies went from averaging 6.5 on the IMDb to averaging 3, the last seven years of his life all he produced was crud!
"YOU'RE GOING THE WRONG WAY!" "How would HE know where we're going?" 🤣 I think that was my favorite line from this movie.
They must be drunk 🤪
"One night a few years after 'Planes, Trains and Automobiles' was released, I came upon John Candy (1950-1994) sitting all by himself in a hotel bar in New York, smoking and drinking, and we talked for a while. We were going to be on the same TV show the next day. He was depressed. People loved him, but he didn't seem to know that, or it wasn't enough. He was a sweet guy and nobody had a word to say against him, but he was down on himself. All he wanted to do was make people laugh, but sometimes he tried too hard, and he hated himself for doing that in some of his movies. I thought of Del."
--- Roger Ebert, 2000
If I had the chance, I’d like to tell him “I don’t think you tried _too_ hard. I think you tried _extra_ hard. That’s part of what makes you so great, and I’m far from being the only one who thinks so.” I hope he came around to that sort of realization while he was alive.
@@0okamino Yes, he gave *everything* of himself, every time, which made the average stuff better--- and the good stuff greater.
He is very, very much missed.
As many times as I've seen this movie... "Marie's been dead for 8 years" still gets me. Every. Single. Time.
Uncle Buck is a must! John Hughes + John Candy + a messed-up car. 😆
One of my favorite lines in Uncle Buck is, " He's cooking our garbage!" 😂 Great movie!
Home Alone too (if she's not done it already haaa I forgot about that one lol)
@@mamamac7069Is nothing compared to the rant at the car rental place haha, the number of F bombs he makes haha.
@@jsmithmultimediatech Yes! That's hilarious! 😆
John Candy. A genuine nice guy. Coincidently years ago my mother got to sit next to him on an airplane! She said it was like talking to an old friend. She cried when she heard he had passed away. RIP John Candy
I was a teen when he died. I remember my Mom coming into my room and telling me. First and only time I ever cried when a celebrity died until 2014 with Robin Williams.
29:51 The final scene is even more poignant when you realise that the original script had a subplot where Mrs Page feared Neal was spending so much time away from home because he was having an affair and she believed all these delays were actually excuses as he was with the other woman. It's not until she sees Del on the doorstep and says "Hello Mr Griffiths" that she realises it's was all true and she had nothing to fear.
The subplot still somewhat existed. It was the subtle tension seen across her face during their phone conversations . And in that last scene her facial expression gave away the thoughts she had been having.
“How does he know where we’re going?” One of my favorite movie lines of all time
Literally one of the funniest lines and scenes ever filmed
@@drg3712 When they cut to Candy as the Devil I die, so great
“I didn’t even know Houdini died” is one of the most funny and absurd things I’ve ever heard someone say. He was born in the 1870s so his odds of still being alive were pretty slim.
150 + years old, doable lol
@@11Kslingshot Connor McLeod was over 450 when he died.
@@stefkukla8533 Yeah but there can be only one!
That’s been the escape he hasn’t been able to pull off… so far.
" I like me, my wife likes me".
Great scene by a great actor.
My customers like me, I'm the real article, what you see is what you get!!
John Candy and Steve Martin made a great team. Wish they could have made more films together.
A lot of my friends' parents were extras for this movie at Lambert Airport in St. Louis. They drove around the airport for hours while the scene was filmed of Steve Martin getting punched. Everyone said that John Candy was cool and hung around the extras during lunch.
One of the best comedies ever made, and heart-warming as well. RIP John Candy. (PS, when he says the temperature is "one" he means Fahrenheit. That's like -18d Celsius.)
Scotland's on °C? ..did not know that 😲
@@dallesamllhals9161 Most of the world is.
@@dallesamllhals9161there's only 3 countries that use imperial anymore, the rest of the planet is on metric.
Fun fact: America, the country, does all its commerce in metric but converts most of it back to imperial when it gets to the public.
Bonus fact: because of NAFTA there is a portion of US highway in Arizona measured in kilometers instead of miles.
@@ThreadBomb Baaah I only use Kelvin...
@@dallesamllhals9161 OK, J.J. Abrams
As an 80's kid its still hard to believe how many movies John Hughes made. Not run of the mill average movies but major films that are now classics and part of the American tapestry. After enough of his themes we knew his go-to recipe but still stayed around for the feast. Thats the sign of a genius- you know whats coming and still want to watch.
RIP John Candy
My favorite comedic actor of all time.
Not only funny, but he brought a warmth to every role he portrayed. He is missed.
“her first baby come out sideways. she didn’t scream or nothing.” funniest line in the whole damn movie. that’s where i had to stop the vhs when i first saw it with my sister. we howled for at least 15 minutes straight, then had mini fits of snickering throughout. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was just about to post the same thing...lol. That and Neil at the car rental counter 🤪
Your a real trooper! Del reminds me of a guy I used to work with he was very nice but not very clean and smoked a lot of cigarettes. He struggled in life has he like Del traveled for work.
Till the day i die i will always laugh hysterically when John Candy turns into the devil while going the wrong way on the highway. This was a great movie. Shame John Candy passed away not to long after the movie. Fantastic reaction Dawn.
Epic scene
There is nothing better than him dressed up as the devil for a split second ..... It is absolutely hilarious
They’re drunk, how do they know where we’re going!
One of the best
That maniacal devil laugh he does. Absolutely 😙🤌
I’ve loved this movie since I was a kid. The car accident scene still cracks me up. The ending was so heartwarming. John Candy is in some of my favorite movies from my childhood- The Great Outdoors, Armed and Dangerous, Who’s Harry Crumb, Hot to Trot. All funny. A bit of trivia: Neil’s wife’s odd reaction to him coming home at the end is explained by some deleted scenes. Because Neil has been spending a lot of time away from home, she thinks he is having an affair. When he tells her that his flight was cancelled and he’s stuck somewhere else, she thinks that he is with another woman. When he finally shows up, she realizes that Del is in fact real and he has been trying like crazy to get home the whole time. There’s also deleted scenes of Del putting beer cans on the vibrating bed and them exploding, and the kid that steals their money is the pizza delivery guy from earlier in the night. I live in Wichita but they filmed most of this movie In Illinois, not Kansas. I still can’t find Stubville on a map.😁
Candy's movie "Summer Rental" hits a soft spot for me...dated at times but good!
Funny how you didn't even mention his best movies lol. How about Uncle Buck, Only the Lonely and Cool Runnings?
I would add Cool Runnings to the list.
@@SurvivorBri I didn't really care for Uncle Buck. Only the Lonely was OK. You're right about Cool Runnings though. I forgot about that one.
Loved Great Outdoors. Also loved Canadian Bacon
This one always gets me 🥺 in the scene of Neal realizing.
John Candy made this film a classic no one who ever worked with him had a bad word to say about him.
One of the funniest buddy comedy road trip movies ever made!
John Hughes was SO great at doing comedies with a heart. This is a Thanksgiving classic and must-watch every year for me.
The BEST thing about this reaction is learning that Dawn Marie knows the Flintstones theme.👍
Your laughter is contagious.
6:42 That old man was in Home Alone. When Kevin’s mother was trying to find a flight back home, she was talking to his wife and eventually they gave up their place so she could get back to Kevin in Chicago.
8:35 The cab driver is in Home Alone, too, He’s the crisis cop on the phone eating a donut while talking to Kevin’s mom.
But houses are different , home alone house is very similar but has extensions on both sides , in this movie extension is only on one side , also home alone home has 2 roof lanterns and this movie house has 3 ,
And of course Neil's buddy in the office is Ferris Bueller's dad.
@@chandlerbryan1793 John Candy was in 8 of Hughes' films, Edie McClurg (rental agent) was in 6, Anthony Michael Hall was in 4, Molly Ringwald and John Kapelos were in 3 . Then there are several who were in 2 .
@@chandlerbryan1793 Yep. I was thinking about mentioning early in the video but, I got caught up in her reaction. I think it’s my new favorite reaction of hers.
He also starred in The Old Man episode on Seinfeld and was hilarious.
This is one of the funniest movies ever! Steve Martin's line "Those aren't pillows!" is one for the ages! Great reaction!
John Hughes was a genius in how he managed to connect with all the kids of my generation.
For me, that ending: waterworks, every time.
As soon as I saw the notification, I said "She is going to love this", LOL. One of my most favourite movies from my childhood, timeless.
The truck scene is easily the best of the movie, and one of the top visual comedy bits in my mind. I love the way it flashes to skeletons before John Candy laughing in his devil costume 🤣🤣🤣
John Candy had the warmest smile at the end of that film. One of the greatest and funniest films of all time.
I knew you'd love this! What's not to love? Not sure if you recognized Kevin Bacon early in the movie. And so many funny parts. BTW, that Piaget watch he traded for the hotel room was about $8,000 back in 1987 when this came out. My favorite part has to be when they drove between two trucks going the wrong way. Definitely worth watching again!!!
How do YOU know where they were going? LOL
Loved the Kevin Bacon cameo and the Michael McKean one
@@scipio7837 Yea... how would he know?
Never fails to make me laugh. Never fails to make me cry. Simply the best.
This movie and Uncle Buck has John Candy smiling at the end and that warms my heart.
If this film doesn't make you cry at the end then you're not human - 100% true!
One of my most favorite movies.
And then you add that beautiful laughter to it and made it so much better.
Then when you started singing along with the Flintstones theme I realized how much I love you and your channel. You are the sweetest girl on CZcams.
First, I want to thank you for entertaining me over the past 3 years. Next month will Mark three years since I was put on a ventilator with a 1% chance of surviving covid. I spent 16 days on a ventilator, 45 days in the hospital, had to learn how to drink, then eat, then stand and then walk again. I am still a shell of my former self and find myself bored out of my mind half the time. I went from working 60 to 70 hours a week to being disabled. You are amazing and I love the innocent way you see the world around you. It is a rare gift, and it is what allows you to see the good in everything you watch. You are an official browncoat now, which is a fan of Firefly. John Candy's one of my favorites, he was such a loving and caring man. When you get a chance you're going to want to watch Only the Lonely which was his best film. He was the leading man in a romantic comedy. Ally Sheedy from Breakfast Club, the girl with the dandruff, plays his love interest in that movie. Maureen O'Hara plays his mom. She was in The Quiet Man and McLintock with John Wayne. I don't care for John Wayne because of his racism, but those were entertaining movies. He had Supreme reference for Maureen O'Hara and considered her the star of the movie. He had a large trailer, fitting for a large man, he was embarrassed by the trailer they gave her. So he traded trailers with her to make sure she was treated like the movie star she deserve to be treated like. I always tear up at the end of Planes Trains and Automobiles and Uncle Buck when the frame freezes on him at the end. Absolutely loved him. And I identified with him being a bit heavy set myself. I wish I had met someone like you when I was younger, perhaps my life would have been a little less tumultuous. Nonetheless, I'm glad I found you on CZcams so that I can enjoy your reviews of movies. Another one you'll want to watch eventually is return to me with David Duchovny and Minnie Driver. Make sure you have Kleenex at the beginning of the movie though, because when it becomes a tearjerker you're going to want to have some kleenex available. Again thank you for just being you and providing me some entertainment through these last three difficult years.
God I'm so sorry for what you've been through
@@Lewis9700 Thank you. I'm alive so I'm luckier than many. I appreciate you.
I've been sick for 5 days but Dawn Marie's laughter and spirit makes me feel better.
Both Johns are sorely missed. This is one of my all-time fave films and in the States it is a holiday staple for Thanksgiving viewings. A DynamicDuo of Martin & Candy is just cinematic gold. Heartfelt and hilarious. I LOL every time - especially the tractor trailer sequence where Del is the Devil (I saw this 3 x in the theatres when it was 1st released w/my dad and we could NOT stop laughing as well as Neal's meltdown with the car rental). And yes good luck getting a cab in NYC during rush hour (4pm- 6pm) on any day let alone during the holidays! I knew you'd love it - how can you not - and I loved your reaction - you hit everything right on the head (and even w/your editing story!) You need to see UNCLE BUCK as well as ONLY THE LONELY - 2 more films w/the Johns collaborating on. Steve Martin recently - and emotionally - stated that John was the real deal and the scene where he learns Del's homeless just floors him. Nice job Love!
Vibrating beds were very real, usually in cheap motels.
The old man on the plane was one of those actors who you saw in a lot of tv shows and movies back in the 70’s and 80’s.
Great reaction to a classic heartwarming comedy with two great comedic legends. RIP John Candy who is greatly missed.
This film is actually loosely based on John Hughes own personal experience being on all 3 modes of transportation while traveling for the US holiday season.
Now that John Candy's past the end of this movie along with the end of Uncle Buck is sad the way it ends on him
That is John Hughes…absolutely brilliantly funny but with so much damn heart he’ll make you cry.
This is also my favorite John Hughes movie. So many laughs and the ending makes me cry every time. LOVE John Candy so much. He deserved an Oscar for this movie, but the Oscars don't recognize comedies, which is too bad. Dawn Marie, you have the BEST laugh!!!
“Uncle Buck” is a must.
One of my all time favorites. Our family watches this every Thanksgiving
They actually built Steve Martins house especially for the film. There were far more scenes in the house but they were cut. The original cut was over 3 hours long. Oh, and I love your reactions, they bring me joy
"What happened to his voice?" In the states that's a running gag in movies that a man's voice will go high pitched when he gets hit in the groin, it acts like a joke that he's not a man he sounds like a little boy
In my top 3 favorite comedies of all time, they just don't make movies like this anymore, a comedy with heart and the chemistry between Candy and Martin was perfect.
Best REACTION EVER!!!! HAHAHA, just ADORE your "watchalongs", Dawn! I love the fascination and curiosity of things that might be unfamiliar to you (specific American geography, or various little cultural nuiances that you observe (6:00P rather than military time 18:00 on the plane ticket). The reactions to the classic bits are priceless, like, "Those aren't PILLOW!!!!", and "How would THEY know where WE'RE hoing?" followed by miming of drunkness as they are about to squeeze between two tractor trailers!!! Its these reactions, plus the appreciation of how people actually can be, and how you approve or disapprove of their behavior, its all just magnificent. Not only BEST REACTION EVER, but this is the BEST CZcams REACTION CHANNEL EVER!!! And I ain't kidding! Its a quick "pick-me-up" guaranteed to make me smile! Thanks for doing these!
Also, great analysis when you consider the auteur style of each director....you're on your way to becoming a film / communications professor at the University of Edinburgh or UCLA!!!
Such a funny and heartwarming movie with the perfect holiday ending (this was originally released around Thanksgiving).
It's up there, awfully near Princess Bride, as a perfect film. So perfectly and earnestly acted by those guys, too.
If you haven't seen it yet, you MUST see John Candy in "Cool Runnings" - he's the coach of the Jamaican Bobsled Team :)
One of my absolute favorite comedies. I am glad you have the right sense of humor to get it.
I love that every movie you review is the best movie ever. 🙂
You become so invested in your movies. Awesome.
Dawn: "You see, it's a lovely, wholesome, family movie."
Edie McClurg: "May I help you sir?"
17:11 Actually back then the drinking age varied from state to state. In some US states, it was 21. In other states it was 18
When I went on vacation to Gulf Shores, Alabama in 1986, it was 18 to buy beer/liquor. Back home in Louisiana, it was raised to 21 in 1987. In 1985, Arizona had a legal of 17.
In Michigan and Pennsylvania the drinking age was raised to 21. Michigan did that in December 1978. Maine raised it to 20 in 1979.
I've seen Planes, Trains & Automobiles numerous times over the years but watching you react to it might have been my favorite. Thanks for the fun times.
This might be my favorite comedy of all time. The re-make Due Date is also really good!
"Uncle Buck" definitely needs to be on your list to watch. 😁
Why is it I never go out of my way to watch this movie but when I do watch it I find it hilarious? Yes, the vibrating beds were real.
My best friend and I saw this the first day it came out in the theater and we laughed so hard that we couldn't breath through the whole film.
Loved that film upon the release of it. Two of my favorite actors from the time period. This one has become part of our yearly Holiday traditions. Still loving that infectious laugh and really cute accent. Thanks for your reaction. Lovin it. Peace.
He may not have directed it but John Hughes wrote it....Mr. Mom starring a young Micheal Keaton and young Terri Garr (from Young Frankenstein).... I think you will enjoy it as well.
Love this reaction.... probably my favorite reaction and this hands down one of my favorite movies, a must watch every Thanksgiving. The ending still gets my teary eyed.
"You scared the Bejesus outta me!" 😂😂
Even just remembering the end of this movie brings tears of joy to my eyes.
The vibrating beds did exist, probably not anymore. They notorious for being broken.
I am so so proud you watched this. One of my top 10 favorite films of all time.
More pro tips....the rental car company, signs, uniforms, car yard, and all the cars in the lot, had to be made built rented, etc., Because no major car rental company would be associated with this movie! In the car, Del is jamming to an old 50s Ray Charles song. In uncle Buck while making breakfast, he's doing the same thing! Also, there was lots more bad things that happened, but Hughes cut over an hour out of this movie 😮😮😮
One of my fav films. 12:09 is a classic 80's film moment.
Dawn, you are beauty and joy personified! Watching my favorite movie with my favorite reactor and my favorite human being (John Candy) was an absolute gift.
Thank you,!!!
The old man on the airplane with the two main characters was the old man in Home Alone that says "She has a whole shoebox full of earrings. Little dangling ones." when Catherine O'Hara was trying to get a ticket home to Chicago.
Old man on plane is actor Bill Erwin, who starred in "Home Alone," "Somewhere in Time", and numerous American TV shows.
In the late 70's I was 18 years old and stayed in a Detroit Motel (not a Hotel). The bed had a mechanism to insert a quarter and it vibrated for a few minutes. I thought I was in the lap of luxury. I've never seen a bed like that since. Of course now I stay in Hotels when called upon and the sealed soaps tell me I am in a luxurious setting.
I like watching movies with you Dawn. Best laugh on CZcams!
Also, John Hughes did writing for movies he was not credited for. Animal House, Caddyshack, splash...John is in that... stripes, and others.
John Hughes was filming two movies at the same time. This one, and "She's Having A Baby", staring Kevin Bacon. Hughes asked Bacon to do that cameo at the start of this movie. He was shown "stealing" the first taxi and waving to Martin's character.
One of the best movies EVER! The end nearly makes me tear up, even after all of these years…
Dawn Marie- you didn’t watch all the way to the end of the credits…. There was an EXTRA BONUS SCENE!!! Go back and watch the end of the credits!
The boss still looking at those prints.....hahahaha!
The song Dashboard by Modest Mouse references this movie with the lyric "The dashboard melted but we still have the radio"
I miss John Candy. He is buried in a mausoleum at Holy Cross Cemetery in Culver City, near Los Angeles. I worked in the funeral business; if I was at the cemetery, I’d make a point of stopping by his crypt and saying hello.
THEM SNUGGLING ON THe bed becomes incredibly sad when you realize Candy lost his wife
Dawn mentioned that car problems seem to be a running theme in these movies. I'm 47. All the way up to about oooh, 20 years ago it was pretty darn common place to see people stuck on the side of a road with those kind of issues. Like the Phone Booth, it's an experience that most people don't think about how this has changed over the last few decades. People don't typically keep cars til they're 20 years old and run them down to that point. Cars have also got a lot better in design and technology. Dealerships didn't used to have these high end shops specific for their own cars with experts and machines that can look up code problems for preventative service. Nope. You went to local garage to get your oil changes and only addressed problems when you ... get stuck on the side of the road lol... and would have a tow to whatever local grease monkey that could fix it for ya. So add in AAA service as a fairly recent service that was widely adopted membership, and now cell phones and a massively increased presence of police highway patrols.... The ol' hood open, steam coming out, stuck on the side of a road is now a thing of the past. 20 minutes or less and if you don't have someone coming for ya, someone else is gonna be sure to push you out of societies way and keep the veins of the country flowing.
First of your reactions I've seen. How could anyone not love that laugh.
We all love ❤️ and miss you 😢 John Candy
The reason that houses always look similar in John Hughes-related movies is because he tended to base a lot of his movies in a place called Winnetka, Illinois, a wealthy suburb of Chicago around 15 miles north of downtown.
7:00 that old man was also in Home Alone, the old couple that gave up their plane ticket to Kevin’s mom so she could get back to him.
Watch "The Great Outdoors". It's another good John Hughes movie with John Candy and Dan Aykroyd, and one of the few not set in Chicago.
Liked hearing about the editing. Fun times
John Candy and Steve Martin started their comedy careers together in their university days in Canada. Other movies with these guys together include "Throw Mumma from the Train" for one
What? Is this a joke? Neither Martin nor Candy appeared in Throw Mama. Additionally, Martin was born in TX and went to college in So Cal. Not Canada.
the end of this film, every damn time, right in the feels.
There were a ton of deleted scenes in this movie. And there was one story arc where Neil's wife started suspecting he was cheating, not actually stuck in all these places.
The last scene where he introduces Del to his wife has a different meaning when you know, because of how relieved and on the verge of tears she was to see Del is actually Del
A very great and funny movie
"That guy" on the plane is Bill Erwin. He was also in "Home Alone". And Houdini died in 1926.
The blonde theif with the hat was the pizza and beer delivery kid who got stiffed on the tip.
Watching the best movies with Dawn Marie reacting. That's a treat for a lifetime! 😆
"Thanksgiving is like Christmas twice."
Funny you should say that, Dawn Marie - when I was growing up, there was a running joke in my family where at the end of Thanksgiving dinner one of my older siblings would say, "This has been a lot of fun. We should get together next month and do it again, but with presents!" ^_^
PS: This is one of my favorite John Hughes film; first it makes me laugh until I cry, then it just touches my heart and makes me cry.
"I think his movies are like…" the word you're looking for is endearing
