The Dryden will screen Planes, Trains, and Automobiles (John Hughes, U.S. 1987, 93 min., 35mm) as part of the (Mostly) Happy Holidays series.

As marketing executive Neal Page (Steve Martin) attempts to get home for Thanksgiving, his plans seems to be foiled at every turn by shower curtain—ring salesman Del Griffith (John Candy), who also happens to be traveling back to Chicago. After Neal is bumped from first class (and seated next to Del) and heavy snow diverts the flight to Wichita, the two have little choice but to team up and rent a car to drive back home. The situation worsens as the two travelers share too much time and too little space, and they begin to wonder if they'll ever make it back to Chicago alive.
