John Candy's Best Movie?

[DragonfromTO]

I'm surprised that people are so nuts about Spaceballs. I remember re-watching it when I was in college 15+ years ago and thinking that it didn't hold up at all.

How can you not list Stripes?

Not a fan of John Candy, but I love Stripes so I would have to pick that one.

Today is his birthday.

I can't believe it was 21 years ago that he died. It doesn't seem that long ago.

I don't think i've done this one before...

So whatcha got?

Gotta be Planes, Trains and Automobiles.

Fun fact, I couldn’t sleep a few weeks ago and Summer Rental was on in the dead of night and I stayed up and watched it. Forgot so many lines from that one.

1. Planes Trains and Automobiles
2. Spaceballs
3. Great Outdoors

Uncle Buck, PT&A, Great Outdoors, Summer Rental & Delirious are five of my all time favorite comedies but I just have a soft spot in my heart for Who's Harry Crumb, just a funny, silly movie...

In terms of a John Candy vehicle, it’s gotta be Uncle Buck.

 

[Rambunctious]

Toss up between Uncle Buck and the Great Outdoors

 

[Nosferatu]

In terms of a John Candy vehicle, it’s gotta be Uncle Buck.

I'll get you a mouse and a piece of sheet metal.

Dang, I was gonna post that. Back before Michael Moore started pretending to make documentaries

 

[Used 2 B Hu]

And who could forget the one about the thing...with that person...had some kinda chick in it...name escapes me

But the running gag line throughout the movie was "It's good to be a cop sometimes"

[Nosferatu]

Nothing But Trouble

I'll probably be the only person but when I think of John Candy the first movie that comes up is 'Only the Lonely'
