Planes, Trains & Automobiles
The Gap Theatre - Wind Gap, PA
With the closure of the Cinema & Drafthouse in West Hazleton in September, our annual Thanksgiving Eve tradition of going to see Raymond The Amish Comic has come to an end. It's too early to know if The Gap are going to make this screening an annual event, but if they do, this year might be the start of a new tradition.

I've made it a point to watch Planes, Trains and Automobiles every year during the Thanksgiving season since I first saw it when I was a teenager, but I've never had the opportunity to see it in a theater before tonight's 35mm screening.
Prior to the film, they screened a 35mm print of the 1972 Woody Woodpecker cartoon For The Love Of Pizza. According to Fandom, this cartoon premiered eight years to the day before I was born.
Planes, Trains and Automobiles is one of the funniest comedies I've ever seen. Steve Martin plays the perfect straight man to John Candy in a heartwarming story that has kept audiences coming back for over 35 years. I'm very glad to have finally had the opportunity to see it on the big screen.
