Autumn Film Series “Planes, Trains and Automobiles” (1987)

“Planes, Trains and Automobiles” is a 1987 comedy film that follows the misadventures of two wildly different men, Del Griffith, a boisterous and unconventional shower curtain ring salesman, and Neal Page, a tightly wound and uptight marketing executive, as they try to travel from New York City to Chicago for Thanksgiving.

Their journey is plagued by a series of mishaps and delays, including missed flights, canceled trains, and a series of unfortunate encounters with other characters. Del, with his unconventional behavior and unwavering optimism, constantly irritates Neal, who is determined to get to Chicago as quickly and efficiently as possible.

As the two men struggle to make their way home for the holiday, they are forced to rely on each other and to find common ground despite their differences. The film is a classic buddy comedy, filled with hilarious situations, witty dialogue, and a touch of heart.

“Planes, Trains and Automobiles” is a memorable film that celebrates the joys of friendship, the importance of embracing the unexpected, and the power of human connection in the face of adversity.
