Let’s settle this once and for all: is Planes , Trains, and automobiles a thanksgiving movie or not ?
>>216165027It's from what I can tell the only real Thanksgiving movie. Even though John Candy is Canadian and therefore celebrated Thanksgiving a month earlier
>>216165027why would it not be a Thanksgiving movie
>>216166038>Why yes my favorite thanksgiving movie is “planes trains and automobiles” how could you tell ?
>>216165027yes it is
>>216165027>objective is to get Steve Martin's character back to his family for ThanksgivingNo shit, of course it is. Same way Home Alone is a Christmas movie.
Die Hard is a Christmas movie and I will die on this hill.
>>216165084john candy was big enough that he celebrated canadian thanksgiving and american thanksgiving.
>>216165027It's a shit movie. The fat guy was unlikeable, no idea why they made him sympathetic towards the end.
>>216168585He's literally me.
>>216168512Nobody's talking about die hard, nor about Christmas, you stupid redditor
>>216165084>It's from what I can tell the only real Thanksgiving movie.just off the top of my headfree birdscharlie brown thanksgivinggarfleld thanksgivingeli roth's thanksgivingthankskillingthat christopher columbus movie with corey feldman as an ant that nostalgia critic reviewed
>MFW im doing the mess around
>>216165027Was this a Thanksgiving Anime ?
Alice's Restaurant is a thanksgiving movie (and song)
>>216165027Best in Show is Thanksgiving because that's when the annual dog show is
>>216169268it's a hard sell because arthur penn obviously just let the cast run free and it's paced like shit, it could've been trimmed a lot. fun movie if you like 60s movies though
>>216169301the song the movie was based on was about thanksgiving though.well. and the draft
>>216169221Is this that movie with the song MAAAAYYYFLOWERRRRR, MAAAAAAAYYYYYYFLOWERRRR
>>216169268I like that radio stations still play that song on thanksgiving. Its a nice bit of tradition even if no one really cares that much about it anymore

>>216167052i look like this and i sound like it too
>>216165027
>>216168754people who talk like this can never actually define what makes something a christmas movie. they just "feel like" die hard isnt one.
>>216169582A Christmas movie must feature Christmas as a central theme or function of the plot. Die Hard happens to fall on Christmas. Nothing changes if you remove Christmas from the plot by, say, replacing the party with a normal end-of-quarter office party. Now as a counter-example, if you remove Christmas from Elf, which IS a Christmas movie, the entire movie's structure completely collapses and becomes something entirety separate. Nothing changes if you change the Christmas themes in Die Hard, so it cannot be a Christmas movie.
>>216169574>you know what guts?... I like me... my band of mercenaries likes me...
>>216165084home for the hoildays with holly hunter, robert downey jr, anne bancroft, dylan mcdermott
>>216169814>Nothing changes if you remove Christmas from the plot by, say, replacing the party with a normal end-of-quarter office party.Christmas is baked into the theme of John reuniting with his ex-wife. Christmas is a familial holiday like no other.
>AH! hahahaha!
>>216169967christmas being portrayed as a rare time to see parents or ex-spouses or whatever is part of the jewish plot to divide families
>>216169814if you try to refute >>216169967 then you also have to admit that home alone is not a christmas movie. christmas in both films is only incidental inasmuch as it is the reason for traveling, and yet home alone is widely considered to be a christmas movie and die hard is not.
>>216169199John Candy made smoking look so comfy
the gay sex scene "those aren't 2 pillows!!!" was funny
>>216168585My friend said John Candy was like a horror character
>>216170075Specifically, Christmas in Home Alone is a reason for them to be traveling, in winter, with their extended family, while everyone else in the neighborhood is doing the same, and airports are overloaded so they can't return easily. But sure.
>>216169814>mustsays who? you?suck my bbc, bitch ass nigga
>>216165027It's a Christmas Season movie which includes Thanksgiving season.
>>216168585He was supposed to be sympathetic from the start. A good hearted guy who just really wants a friend. His biggest fault is that he’s unaware of how annoying he is which is where the comedy comes from.

>>216165027I cried when I saw this in the theater. That said Griffith really did everything he could to make himself the worst possible travel companion
>>216168512Oh my science this is heckin wholesome. Updooted.
>>216172547>>216172713two more posts proving that people who say die hard isnt a christmas movie literally have no argument, they just "feel it", like women.
216172747>neckbearded faggot who insists die hard is a christmas movie can’t pull women so he blames them for his problems KWAB. i can’t wait until december for that guy who posts the hot sauce faggot every day. it always pisses you redditors off.
>>216165027its the only Thanksgiving movie
>>216172915bro you seriously STILL cant think of any argument?
>>216168838he said REAL movie, anon
If Die Hard is a Christmas movie then the Ferguson riots are a Hallmark Channel holiday miniseries.
>>216168512Seriously go back.
>>216172747Define what makes Die Hard a christmas movie.If your definition is "takes place at christmastime" then literally any film that takes place near christmas is a christmas movie.Also you are a cum-guzzling faggot and should be shot.
>>216168512THEN DIE ON IT ALREADY
>>216170876your friend is asian
>>216168512I agree, Die Hard is a Christmas movie. But then wouldn't Die Hard 2 also be a Christmas movie? I don't believe so. Very confusing.>>216174265I'm shocked they didn't make BLM a yearly National Holiday.
del griffith is 36 years old
>>216168512Yeah, and if I dress a mule in an ape skin it’s an ape.You’re an idiot,It has no Christmas message, or holiday plot, it doesn’t hit any of the emotional points for the holiday.
>>216174480Every retard who claims it is leans on the John reuniting with his wife thing despite that not having anything to do with the holiday season or any sort of Christmas lore. He’s just a down-on-his-luck crappy husband looking for any excuse to rekindle his failed marriage. I would argue 2 is more of Christmas movie because the fear of getting stuck in an airport on Christmas Eve is relatable but again its a tangential relation at best.
Not related to OP but just to post this.If you call thanksgiving “turkey day” you are a kneeejerk pleb and I hate you so much Paul.Suck trying to suck the joy and seriousness out of everything in an attempt to be cool
>>216174657>Every retard who claims it is leans on the John reuniting with his wife thing despite that not having anything to do with the holiday seasonwhat are you talking about? he's going home for christmas. that is the reason he's reuniting with her. and that is thw reason why home alone is a christmas movie, too.why cant you make a single argument against this point? all you do is say it isnt because it isnt. if everyone has the same reason why and you have 0 reasons why not, then the people with the reasons why will win the argument.would you like me to tell you your real reason why you dont consider it a christmas movie? because there's no snow and a lot of people die. so it doesnt feel like a christmas movie. why dont you just use that argument? it's a lot better than what you have.
>>216172547>hello police?>I just witnessed a murder
>>216172915>Defending women from mean 4chan incelsMaybe it is you who should go back.
>>216165027No, you could totally remove the thanksgiving aspect and it'd still be the same movie
it's a shitty movie
>>216165027all i could think of when i watched this movie is how much more i liked Uncle Buck. and i think it's because Planes is Steve Martin coded like he's the good guy and i just dont jive with that
