John Candy's Best Movie?

[Macho Grande]

How can you not list Stripes?

Or Volunteers.

This is like picking your favorite time of the day to eat bacon.

I would go with Uncle Buck cuz if that is on, I usually watch it.

 

[beardown07]

He's had so many great small parts too, like Vacation. He was funny as hell in that.

 

[ckhokie]

Would have voted for Home Alone.

Little known facts about that: John Candy was on set for 1 day. His entire part in the movie was shot in that single day. The story about leaving his son at the funeral parlor? Completely ad-libbed and was done in a single take.

I've only seen Spaceballs, Cool Runnings, and The Great Outdoors, and vaguely remember seeing parts of some of the others. For me it's easily Spaceballs.

 

[Nosferatu]

Or Volunteers.

Tom Tuttle from Tacoma was in the movie for like 10 minutes, I listed movies where he was the first credit. Well aside from Spaceballs but I figured i'd be kicked off the hoop if I didnt list Spaceballs.

I am surprised no love for Delirious that was a great movie as was Who's Harry Crumb?

Wait, wait wait...You've never seen Plains, Trains and Automobiles or Uncle Buck?

You poor bastard.




Seriously tho...you should prolly put those on the to-do list.

I can only assume you've been a vietnam POW for the past 50 years. Are you happy to be free now?

Haha! Well those along with Canadian Bacon are some of the movies I vaguely remember seeing some or all of when I was very young.

I also seem to remember him briefly having a Saturday morning cartoon called "Camp Candy".

 

[GNG]

....lol,....I felt bad for the horse he rode on "Wagons East",.....a fkkn crane must've hoisted him on top of that pooR critter,....I think that was his next to last flick too.

Yes, he died during the filming of that movie.

Sorry folks, park's closed

His work on SCTV as Tommy Shanks or Johnny LaRue is superior to any movie role.

But Plane, Trains would get the nod from me movie wise.

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

Great Outdoors for me.

"It buzzed me. Yah it's bigger than I thought it's about a 2 pounder."

Dan Akroyd killed that movie as well.
