Even though I'm not American, I often put Planes, Trains and Automobiles on in the hours leading up to kick off of the first NFL game of Thanksgiving Thursday.
It wasn't a decision I made actively. I had planned to catch it, but time has simply moved quite fast for me today and the odds of me watching the film are long now that dinner and the two, possibly three, kick offs are looming.
I plan to eventually watch the documentary about John Candy. It's titled I Like Me. That is a line from Planes, Trains and Automobiles. In fact, it's part of the most poignant scene in the movie and always gives me goosebumps.
Even back as a child, when I first watched the film, that scene had me. Now, all the years later, it still does it.
If I'm not going to watch the film this year, the least I can do is fire up Spotify - as soon as I hit 'Publish - and listen to Power to Believe by The Dream Academy.
That's a photograph I took of the video cassette I have of Planes, Trains and Automobiles for one of the Diet of Christmas Films posts even though it is a movie set during Thanksgiving.
