Planes, Trains & Automobiles(dir. John Hughes)
I found this film amazingly unfunny outside of a ridiculous expression on John Candy's face in the first 15 minutes and the contrived nature of the narrative and jokes became suspect at times, I'm still going to slightly recommend it. Why? Because there's a scene of extreme poignancy where John Candy's character tries to defend himself after Steve Martin's character gave him an extended tongue lashing and the wounded inflection in his voice is just heartbreaking. A great scene in an otherwise forgettable comedy.
