I found this Video very intresting, very well put together and by accident by scrolling through random videos. I am from the UK and loved and miss the 80s so much. I have never had the privilege of watching this Movie but thanks to this inspirational video, I will be watching it tonight for the first time.😊 John Candy was an incredible Actor and made the 80s and 90s an even better time to be alive. Im sure I will enjoy this Movie as its One of the few Starring John Candy I have not yet seen. Thanks for making this video. 👍 and Also... R.I.P John Candy ❤🙏

that is why I connected my rodecaster pro 2 to ATEM mini pro iso but no voice were recorded.

One of my favourite movies of all time. Thank you for all your hard work in making this. True dedication. Well done 🤗

Cool stuff , love that movie and enjoy doing the same thing

The red truck was on RT 219 I believe

You wanted to stand where Steve Martin and John Candy were standing? I'd rather stand where Einsten, Jesus, Jfk, etc. stood!!

Neewer sounds better to me. I just received mine and ready to test it. Greetings!

The Silver Dollar City family kept gambling out of the Branson area. The day will come when they regret that. Since they tanked casinos we've not been back there. No thanks.

Just watched this other day (dec 15 2024) ..amazing that they all still look the same

One of my favourite Christmas movies.

Hoping the train gets restored and put in a location for people to easily see

THANK YOU for doing this...

Nice video but you didn't mention where the 2nd hotel was the town where the restaurant was or where the house was that's not Chicago it's a suburb

Love that film...

I wish you had included the address or the city where they filmed. Some of us would like to visit and see what the hotel looks like, especially considering the late icon John Candy. It would be an honor to visit the hotel where he stayed while filming the movie. If you notice, all the movies made by John Hughes are filmed in Chicago, and he must have been born here or something.

Watching this from England, you did a great job finding these places. Watched this film so many times over the years, still fun to watch. In my top 5 films of all time. Thank you for posting.

One of the best movies

What about wilmette

One of my favorite movies. Thanks for this great video!

The El Rancho motel was a real motel just off the highway from a bar/nightclub I worked at during the time they were shooting this scene. The place I worked for was called Poor Richards and we catered food to that location for the entire crew. BTW, we called the motel "Clean Sheets" because that is what they always had on their sign by the road, it was a place well know for fast hook ups!

hello sir how much money Price this tape vhs

The state has become solid red and Branson is a glorified church service. Majority of the shows are religious and too many billboard plastered every few feet. Get rid of the billboards and less church service. People do not go on vacation to a church service. The billboard every few feet overwhelms the beauty of the area and makes it looks cheap and run down.

I lived in St.Louis during the filming and heard through the news it starred Steve Martin and the late great John Candy... Truly have enjoyed both great actors and knew it would be a special movie, I just didn't know it would be a classic I would watch for decades to come... "Those aren't pillows!!"

Back around 1985/86 I had a client that told me she and her daughter were going to a casting call for non-speaking parts in Planes, Trains, and Automobiles. The daughter had seen some sort of an ad looking for extras for some movie being shot partly in Chicago. I don't think the title was mentioned in the paper but I could be mistaken on that point. She lived in a suburb south of Chicago and she was doing it just on a lark because her daughter wanted to see if they could maybe be in a movie. Well, they were both selected to be background people in the movie. But the daughter's parts ended up on the cutting room floor as they say. She is a waitress in the restaurant that was supposedly in St. Louis. She was wearing a white blouse with a black thing around her neck that sort of looks like a bow tie and she's plainly seen at about 45 minutes and 20 seconds into the movie when Candy is getting up to leave. I was pretty sure she said that restaurant scene was filmed somewhere around Chicago even though it's supposed to be St. Louis. I can't imagine Mrs. K and her daughter drove to St. Louis just to be extras in a movie. I haven't seen any information about that restaurant scene and I'm wondering if anyone can confirm where it was filmed. Oh, I should add that I also think this is one of the best holiday movies ever made.

Thank you for doing this just one of my fav films ever.

You did perfect! You have a great voice for the narration, and you did a first class job!

An amazing film. Thank you for traveling to all of these locations and sharing them with us!

I love this stuff. Thanks for doing all of this.

62 years old and still tear up at the ending. The movie was a masterpiece of comedy and emotion. Thank you John Candy and Steve Martin. And thank you for doing the footwork for this video. I love to see then and now pictures.

Cool...thanks!

A 44 year old from the uk, appreciate the effort you took to make this video, really enjoyed it.

I am 100% serious here. I was eating the last 3 bites of the Thanksgiving dinner I spent the day preparing. Yes I am late, it’s Dec 7th here and finding turkey was difficult, the Stove Top stuffing was brought to me from America. My over is so small I had to cut the turkey in half to get it to fit. It also heats like a Suzie Homemaker over so it took most if the day to cook. In the end it was quite good! began to scroll through YT and there was your video. Planes Trains and Automobiles is at the very top of my all time favorite movies and thank you for making my Thanksgiving Day extra special.

A simple time good time 1980s good chemistry actors.

Loved every second of this video! Thank you so much for finding those shots and showing in modern day, PTAA is one of my all time favorites. Great to see some of the locations still in tact today

You did an outstanding job on the video. I enjoyed it.

I thought Capra had family in Seneca falls

Merry Christmas to us all thank you for showing this location video it almost made me cry at the very end.

I was delighted to find out that the 'real' Baily Park was a new house development very near to where I grew up. It was an under construction subdivision near Montrose California, a suburb of Los Angeles. It was used as a location for the scene showing the Martini's moving into their new home. So Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed did a location shoot in my neighborhood! How cool is that? The neighborhood is still there (with a lot more trees), and is one of only two surviving locations used in the movie.

You did an amazing job! One of my favorite movies! New sub here! Happy Holidays.

No, have they really colorized evven this jewel? That's disgusting. They really stop at nothing.

Hee haw!!!

Its a racist town

Its a racist hick town period thats why

great video!

Awesome video...cheers

have you since started watching the original Black & White version, or you still always do the colorized? It kinda has to be in black and white. (a fun mashup could be you start the movie in black and white... but when he "gets his wish" it goes to color". Then when he prays that he gets his life back, it goes to black and white again... I get intuition would say make it the opposite, but his good old fashioned life where he's in love with Mary, and all his friends and family, really does need to be in black and white).

Did you go to S-Stubbville? 😂 Thanks for the vid

The nostalgia this brings.

Thank you for this upload. It's A Wonderful Life is my all-time favorite movie. Anytime of the year! 🎄😊
