Planes Trains and Automobiles

Fans of director John Hughes’ movies note one of the favorites around the Thanksgiving holiday season is the ’80s classic comedy,” Planes, Trains, and Automobiles.”

We often throw out quotes from the movie all year round. Back home, this movie has become a Thanksgiving tradition to watch after dinner. Even though the movie was a mild box office success – it grossed $45 million on a $15 million film budget. If you have never seen the movie, let’s give you a cliffnote version.

The Storyline Of The Movie

A Chicago advertising man played by Steve Martin, must struggle to travel home from New York for Thanksgiving, with a lovable oaf of a shower curtain ring salesman played by the late John Candy, as his only companion. The movie has a bunch of great cameo appearances and Hollywood’s best help make this movie even better. Yes, the movie even has Kevin Bacon.

How Long Was The Movie At First?

Steve Martin and John Candy, the road trip comedy had a nearly four-hour runtime at one point.  2022 marked the film’s 35th anniversary. A 35th-anniversary DVD and Blu-ray was released to celebrate. Featuring over an hour of previously unseen footage for those who purchase it. The late director John Hughes said the movie was based on his own real-life experience that happened to him. When John was an advertising copywriter I set out from New York to Chicago on Thanksgiving weekend and after a five-day delay, ended up in Phoenix, Arizona, via Wichita, Kansas.

Audiences Loved  The Movie 

The great thing that people come away from the movie is how they are reminded of someone they know from the movie in real life. We all have that one friend that reminds us of John Candy’s character Del Griffith or The Counter clerk at the Rent-a-Car desk. The movie is very relatable.

For The Big Fans Of The Movie

What To Do With Those Thanksgiving Leftovers

Thanksgiving is coming, so prepare for the food onslaught! Everyone gets excited about the turkey and all the delicious food that will be eaten on Thanksgiving. And almost better than Thanksgiving dinner, are those delightful leftovers the next day (and the days after that). Sometimes, when you store Thanksgiving food properly, it really gives time for the flavors to set in.

It’s usually around day three where things go south. There is still a ton of food, but everyone is kind of “over it.” But you don’t want to waste food. Instead, try reimagining the ingredients into other delicious dishes. Here are some suggestions.

  • Savory Stuffing Waffles 

    Tasty always has excellent recipes, and this gem includes stuffing, cheese, and maple cranberry sauce.

  • Hand Pies

    With this recipe, Tasty found a way to easily transform leftovers into a handheld treat, perfect for someone who needs a free hand to shop with on Black Friday.

  • Turkey Filled Omelette

    Allrecipes has created a simple way to use up the leftover turkey the morning after Thanksgiving.

  • Stuffing Omelette

    Similar to the recipe above, Sam The Cooking Guy has an easy way to reuse Thanksgiving ingredients for an omelette. Try this one with stuffing.

  • Panini

    Sandwiches are a common day-after-Thanksgiving food idea. This version by The Hungry Winos is worth checking out.

  • Thanksgiving Pizza

    This Thanksgiving pizza recipe by All Recipes looks insane. A Pizza with turkey gravy and mashed potatoes? Sign us up!

  • Turkey Gumbo

    Another hearty leftover meal worth trying is this Turkey Gumbo that a viewer of the Rachael Ray Show submitted. They also explain how to make loaded mashed potato balls too.

  • Thanksgiving Dip

    This dip by Pop Sugar requires minimal effort, but looks delicious in the end. The dish also requires a lot of cheese, which is always a win.

  • Pumpkin Pie Shake

    No one should ever get sick of having pie as a leftover. But if you do, turn the pie into a shake. This Ziploc recommended recipe will give Starbucks a run for their money.
