Planes Trains and Automobiles is easily one of the best comedies of all time...
"YOU'RE GOING THE WRONG WAY!"
"How does he know which way we're going?"

Don't forget some of Hughes earliest movies, Vacation and Mr. Mom. He didn't produce them, but he wrote both. The combined success of those two movies and 16 candles is what gave him the clout and the cash to produce The Breakfast Club (the first movie he produced)

The Vacation series of movies are also among some of the best comedies made (except Vegas Vacation, which is fine, because he didn't write, produce OR direct that monstrosity)

Funny you use that quote. It's the exact one I was thinking of when I posted.

"He's drunk"

"Yeah..yeah...have another one pal!"

SM "Where are your hands?"
JC "between two pillows"
SM "those Aren't PILLOWS!"

My kids have deemed Planes Trains and Automobiles as outlawed in my house because I can quote the vast majority of it, which seems to bug them to no end. Pity they don't get to control the remote! bwahahahahaha!

The car rental scene is in my opinion, by far, THE best comedy dialogue in a movie I've ever seen. To this day it brings me to tears with laughter. Inappropriate to quote on the boards, but if you've never seen it, and don't mind some swearing, heres the scene (though it is funnier taken in the larger context of the movie as a whole)

Clipcritic's MJ is dead

I just watched that last night. "...Are you gus's son? I'm Owen...."

omegajim · 08-09-2009, 10:26 PM

this just in, for the 2nd time in 3 months, somebody in their 40's died in a triathalon - in the swimming portion.

**Trapper** · 08-13-2009, 12:52 PM

Les Paul dies.

omegajim · 08-13-2009, 12:59 PM

a native of Waukesha, WI.

Of course the place was a bit different then.

Wonder how they managed to die twice...probably the same way you take one tablet three times a day

no, they'd be electric, but yes, a lot more like banjos.

could you imagine "I see a red door and I want it painted black" accompanied by fancy banjos?

of anybody ever who should be thankful for Mr. Paul, it's

Johnny Cash - and just listen to the intro of "Folsom Prison Blues."

This sad episode has been the talk of the toon this weekend. I was working on a building site on Saturday, he even got some reverent reflections there!

Les had a damned fine innings, however, he has left a HUGE hole behind him.

RIP.

Thats not the half of it. While the solid body electric guitar is what he's most famous for, Les Paul also invented multi-track recording. Imagine no stereo sound because all instruments were recorded on the same track? Imagine no overlays? No fading and adjustments? All we'd have would be live recordings, even studio recordings would effectively be live recordings with no crowd.

**intimid8er** · 08-17-2009, 10:34 AM

Al Gore would've eventually happened upon it in his tinkerings here and there.

close enough; had Les Paul not invented multitrack recording in the late 40's, somebody would've came up with it.

the question would be, how many years later would it have taken.
