Planes, Trains and Automobiles + Uncle Buck double feature

American Cinematheque's Thanksgiving weekend full of crowdpleasing favorites kicks off with a John Hughes and John Candy double feature. 2014 will mark 20 years since we lost comedic genius Candy and these are two of his funnier films, both directed by fellow late legend Hughes. In Planes, Trains and Automobiles, Candy plays an obnoxious shower-curtain-ring salesman trying to make his way home for Thanksgiving, alongside Steve Martin. In Uncle Buck, he plays the title role of the horrible babysitter. Both movies are chock-full of one-liners and laughs.
