Where To Watch ‘Planes, Trains and Automobiles’ Online In 2023

If you’re looking for a festive family movie to watch on Thanksgiving, well, you’ve come to the right place. A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving is available on Apple TV+, Elf is currently streaming on Max, and if you want to celebrate Turkey Day with a little Home Alone action all you need is an active subscription to Disney+ or Starz. But the best of the best may very well be John Hughes’ iconic 1987 comedy Planes, Trains and Automobiles.

“Y’know, the finest line a man’ll walk is between success at work and success at home. I got a motto – like your work, love your wife.”

The classic film stars the theatrical dream team of Steve Martin (Neal, a curmudgeon) and John Candy (Del, affable but annoying) as two mismatched businessmen who embark on a hilariously doomed three-day road trip. The legendary ’80s movie also features appearances by Michael McKean, Kevin Bacon, Laila Robins, and Ben Stein.
