Planes, Trains and Automobiles (1987)


A comedy by John Hughes, starring Steve Martin and John Candy.
A man is trying to get a cab to the airport, when a stranger takes the cab before he can get in. They meet in the airport and are seated together on the plane. Due to weather, their destination has closed it's airport. This starts a domino effect of things going wrong.
An old friend of mine once told me that this was his favorite movie. I think the combination of Steve Martin and John Candy doing the "straight man, funny man" act is very effective. Combine this with a little bit of that 87 magic that I mentioned earlier and you've got a good movie.
