Iirc his lines in home alone were improved and it's funny as hell.

He was always my favourite actor as a kid.

You are all talking about Planes, Trains and Automobiles, and heaping well earned glory upon John Candy for being hilarious and multi talented.

But nobody is talking about the heart wrenching way he delivers "I like me."

And a performance like that deserves recognition.

Prob because it doesn't even need to be said, that movie strikes such a great balance.

I just watched Planes Trains and Automobiles with my partner. We watched it on VHS. It's a great film. I love my partner and I'm definitely Steve Martin in that film and she's John Candy. A cold hearted goon like me found love. :unsmith:

It's even more poignant juxtaposed with Steve Martin being hilariously cruel for like 2 minutes

I think that was just a dumb joke or someone remembering being a dumb kid.

It kind of shocked me on my last rewatch of this movie that they got an R rating pretty much just because of Steve Martin's cursing at the rental car lady.

I only saw it on tv for the longest time and that scene plays out much differently.

He doesn't swear and at the end of the rant she gives an equally merry "you're screwed!" as she'd been on the phone.

The first time I saw the real one my jaw dropped, especially her line.
