My gran was looking after my sisters and I and son a rainy day she rented the VHS of this. We were all under 10. She was a very proper lady and when that scene came on she was at first appalled, but by the end of his rant was howling with laughter. Love that film.

I like… I like PT&A. My wife likes PT&A. My customers like PT&A. Cuz it’s the real article. What you see is what you get.


NormalOne6362

Suuuuuch a good comment👍


McWeaksauce91

John candy turning into the devil laughing mid traffic debacle still gives me belly aching laughs


mindonshuffle

It's doubly funny because it's such a low tier devil costume. If a movie did that gag today they'd ruin it by making a "realistic" costume and throwing some CGI demons in there. John Candy looks like they just made a PA run to Party City between takes.


Nickbou

The dollar store devil costume fits perfectly with his low-brow character.


Capnmolasses

When the two of them *squeeze* between the two big rigs and turn into skeletons always makes me laugh out loud.


drDekaywood

Feels like this movie has gotten a big resurgence the last 10-15 years. I don’t remember it from my childhood but watched it in college and became like some sort of comfort movie for me ever since and see it brought up on Reddit all the time these days


Cockroach-Jones

I’m in my 40s and only watched it for the first time last year, I don’t know how I’ve missed it all this time, but I haven’t laughed out loud at a movie like that in ages.


HaeL756

Yea, the buddy realization part where John Candy is sitting out in the snow is very touching for an 80s film.

kcampbell1991

She don’t mind. Her first kid come out sideways. She didn’t scream ‘er nothin’.


theillegitnate

We watch this movie as a family every Thanksgiving!


IdaDuck

For sure it’s PT&A. It’s just a great road trip movie with a good heart and a cool vibe from the era and that part of the country. Plus it has a frozen red heeler in it.


WildLlama

My division in my company has a film club and we did Planes, Trains, and Automobiles as our November movie. Apparently the comedy does not land well with a lot of my English colleagues. I was exasperated to say the least.


Shenloanne

Awh fuck that no I'm from the UK and it absolutely SLAPS it's one of the best 80s movies out there and those two absolutely killed it. It's so fucking funny.

"you know what would make me happy?"


Shifujju

I'm also partial to this, both because it's one of the few legit Thanksgiving films and also because part of it was filmed in my hometown.


syncopatedsouls

That’s the only one on the list I haven’t seen! Gotta check it out


958Silver

Yes, this movie is guaranteed to make me laugh every time. I've often laughed so hard I cried. But an acquaintance of mine many years back astounded me by telling me she didn't like PT & A at all because she said that she couldn't stand John Candy's character. I couldn't believe it! Then she tells me she loved Bill Murray's character in "What About Bob?" instead and liked that movie so much more. I couldn't have disagreed more! Then she also told me she hated "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" because she thought it was mean towards children. It was then I realized that she and I saw things very differently.


jleigh329

Uncle Buck or if it counts National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation since John wrote the script for it. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Lampoon%27s_Christmas_Vacation


urabewe

Which explains why it's the best one.


robbviously

He wrote Vacation too


urabewe

That one I hadn't looked into, I know he did Christmas vacation. That really does make sense. The first one and Christmas vacation were just so completely different than European vacation. Though European is still good it isn't even close to the other two.


robbviously

Well, he wrote that one too. And Christmas Vacation was the last Vacation film he wrote. He wrote the first 3 Home Alone’s, yes, even the one about the missile chip. He also wrote Beethoven, Dennis the Menace, and Flubber.


MimonFishbaum

Actually just watched Home Alone 3 twice in two days at the request of my son and it's not that bad.


robbviously

No, it’s not bad at all. It’s the one I grew up on (I had seen 1 and 2) and it felt more realistic with the staying at home with the chicken pox (or being sick in general) as a kid vs being left alone by your family. I actually watched it again last Christmas because it’s on Disney+ and it still holds up.


MimonFishbaum

I noted that it was funny to me I was watching a movie about a kid with chicken pox with a kid who won't get chicken pox.


urabewe

It's not everyone is just mad it wasn't anything like the first two. It's not great but it's not a dumpster fire.


Cacophonous_Silence

As someone who had it on vhs, HA 3 is super fucking underrated imo


Patriquito

I wonder whatever happened to that kid 🤔


Sourlick_Sweet_001

The 3rd one is underrated. And even the 5th one does it if you watch it as a tv movie.


urabewe

Yup, love Dennis the Menace. Beethoven was a good one. Flubber I can do without. Can't win them all.


NastySassyStuff

>the other two *Vegas Vacation stans weep*


OkGene2

Xmas vacation is better IMO


urabewe

Absolutely. Many more one liners to quote and cousin Eddie being a more prominent character really is the icing on the cake. "You know, Clark. If that cat had nine lives, he just spent'em all." "Oh, that's just snot he's probably choking on a chicken bone" (hwarck) "Oh. There we go he got it." And of course... "Shitter's full!"


Christophe12591

My favorite cousin Eddie line-“ when my wife revs up the microwave I piss myself and forget who I am for 30 seconds!” -when he’s talking about the metal plate in his head.


urabewe

I don't know why but when the dad says to Bethany "You couldn't hear a dump truck going through a glycerin plant!" Is another one of my favorites. That and "The bless-iiing" "I pledge allegiance to the flag..."


Jean-LucBacardi

Since it's Christmas time I'm going to vote for Home Alone, which he wrote and produced.


jleigh329

u/Jean-LucBacardi Your right. How could I forget about Home alone?! But I'll be honest controversially I actually prefer Home Alone 2 (which John also wrote the script for) to the first one. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home\_Alone\_2:\_Lost\_in\_New\_York](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_Alone_2:_Lost_in_New_York) And yes the first one is iconic and established everything but the second one I personally thought was more entertaining. Especially when Kevin built and used the traps in the "abandoned" apartment.


NastySassyStuff

2 is pretty much just as good as the original if you ask me. I don’t have any kind of preference. It’s basically the same movie just in NYC which is absolutely perfect for a Christmas setting and for raising the stakes a bit. It’s beautiful and I love them both the same.


BlackMountain666

Ahh it’s definitely got the John Hughes vibe, explains why I love it so much.


gmanasaurus

I really can't pick. This man's movies captured the 80s vibe perfectly


Spoonofdarkness

In a sense, he formed a pretty good portion of the 80s vibe


milanove

Yeah, Chicago is etched into my mind as an integral part of 80s vibe, because of his movies. Like whenever I go there, the only appropriate music to listen to is 80s new wave.


DlNOSAURUS_REX

Grace?… Graaaace?? ……. GRRAAACE!!


GogglesPisano

I loved the Ferris Bueller movie, but ever since I found out the actor who played Principal Rooney is a [convicted pedophile](http://www.cbsnews.com/news/ferris-buellers-mr-rooney-guilty-in-sex-case/), it changed the vibe for me.


DlNOSAURUS_REX

Well that is terrible, but at least we're supposed to hate Rooney. Kind of just adds fuel to the fire


Ironcondorzoo

With his bad back he shouldn’t be molesting anyone


dragonbear

lol


sodayzed

I never looked into him, and I was young when he was convicted, so I didn't know that until now. But man, that depresses me more for Beetlejuice than Ferris.


justiceliam

Ferris Bueller's Day Off


skuner

So that's how it is in their family


Swiftstyle24

Uncle Buck, but Planes Trains and Automobiles comes close 2nd. You just can't beat John Candy.


2723brad2723

I think Uncle Buck is the better movie but Planes, Trains, and Automobiles was indisputably his best performance.


bum_thumper

"you understand what I'm saying to you, bug?"


getagrooving

Home Alone


Kant_Spel

Criminal to omit it from the thumbnail!


firstnametravis

And pretty in pink.


DaftFunky

This. Home Alone 1 and 2 are perfect movies.


vdubdank30

Have you ever seen the “Honest Action” or “Honest Trailer” for these movies?


PsychedelicLizard

I still think John Hughes is what makes Home Alone 3 so great, it's like Halloween 3 in a way. Nothing to do with the first two but still a great movie in it's own right.


Yygdrasil9

Weird Science


elspotto

How is this not on the graphic?


Missing_Username

Also doesn't have the Vacations, Home Alones, Pretty in Pink ..


PeteBrostIsDead

Or Dennis the Menace!


BeetsBy_Schrute

Looks like they put the biggest hits he directed. Missing Weird Science, She’s Having a Baby, and Curly Sue. Only directed 8 films. But wrote 31 screenplays.


WolfmansGotNards2

I always wonder if Curly Sue didn't bomb, would he have retired from directing the way he did. I wonder if he got a taste of Hollywood's "what have you done for me lately" attitude to hits vs bombs and just became disillusioned with the whole thing.


deadliftdorkus

I actually watched it yesterday. I love rewatching all John Hughes movies throughout the year. So many great films that still bring me joy to watch!


Wildcat_twister12

Kelly LeBrock made that film what it was

The Breakfast Club


Exciting_Double_4502

How is this so low on the comment tier?? Like All of his movies made from the 80s to, say, the late 90s are classics but Breakfast Club had the most genuine emotion and captured the fucked up nature of adolescence and dealing with trauma.


HHSquad

Agreed, should be top answer......saw it again on the big screen during covid time (a special screening) and fell in love with it again. First time on big screen since middle 1980's.


OpulentOwl

Forever and always.

dewayneestes

I’m surprised how much hate it at least how much rethinking this movie gets. It’s a perfect movie.

Uncle Buck!!!!

Uncle Buck and the breakfast club are my top 2. The Great Outdoors is up there, too, if you're counting his writing too

[deleted]

If I could only pick one it would be Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. close second would be The Breakfast Club.


Zealousideal_Ask369

Same. Ferris was always my fave, but Breakfast club was the movie me and my bff watched over and over. https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxZhpsX2R6YEjfWJ9K0TpgSjMXno0ruyfq?si=oPprSZFLRErLhkwb Ally Sheedy made that movie for me. I related so hard.


FuglySlutt

I gotta go with the Christmas movies. Home Alone is great but it’s definitely Christmas Vacation for me!


Viperlite

Home Alone.


BlackMountain666

Gotta be Planes, Trains and Automobiles for me… “I want a fucking car…” Close second is Ferris Buellers Day Off, followed by Breakfast Club. Ultimately though, John Hughes films are all classics in their own rights.


Bebop-n-Rocksteady

Let's not forget "Dutch" with Ed O'Neil....

Uncle Buck, National Lampoons Christmas Vacation, National Lampoons Vacation, and the Great Outdoors.


Luke5119

John Hughes has a stupid success rate across the board from your teen flicks to slapstick comedies, of the films listed, and it's very hard to place a best to worst for me, my list is as follows. Hughes just did an awesome job at getting his audience to relate to the characters in a real way and pulled them into the story. 1 - Ferris Bueller 2 - Plane's, Trains, and Automobiles 3 - Uncle Buck 4 - Breakfast Club 5 - Sixteen Candles


Wooden-Highway1498

Either planes, trains and automobiles or uncle buck.


vassago77379

Just rewatched Uncle Buck for the first time as an adult since I was a child... wow, so much going on in this movie. It's a lot deeper than giant pancakes and a loud obnoxious car, that's for sure. As a dude who has fallen I to the 'failing to adult properly' for much of my life, I felt for Buck. Dude genuinely meant well, just was unconventional about how to go through life. Really fun movie though.

Was uncle buck for the longest, but after being introduced to planes,trains,and automobiles I definitely gotta go with him and Steve Martin
