1. Planes, Trains & Automobiles -- John Candy in one of his funniest performances and Steve Martin is perfect as the put-upon straight man to Candy. (Drying his face on Candy's underpants - hysterical!)

2. Home For The Holidays -- Holly Hunter comes home from LA to suburbia and is driven slowly insane by her family.  Funniest moment in the film: Hunter, while enduring the torture of her parents' idiosyncracies in the backseat of their car stuck in a traffic jam leaving the airport looks over at the car next to her and sees a gentleman (played by writer Christopher Durang) sitting in the back seat of his parents car suffering a similar fate.  They make eye contact and Durang slowly raises his index finger to the temple of his head and mimes shooting himself, complete with him slumping over.  Hunter laughs to herself in sympathetic appreciation.


3. The Right Stuff -- Not sure why but this movie always gets televised around Thanksgiving.  For that reason alone, I include it on my list.  An all-star cast in a well-made movie about the space pioneer heroes.  I particularly am impressed with the attention given to Chuck Yeager -- a true American hero.


Anyway, I'd like to hear what others' selections would be for their ATF Thanksgiving movie list.
