My uncle took his family on vacation and came across the filming of this movie. I have no idea how it happened but he met and was invited to lunch by John Candy. My uncle was a photographer and took a lot of pictures so I was blown away to see them together. I loved John Candy and it was so nice to learn he really was the nicest man.

[@poindextertunes]

thats a cool story

[@solidsnake58]

@@FERN69Q I wish I could but they belonged to my uncle and he passed away. I asked my Mom about how he knew they were filming and she said her brother was an ex-newspaper photographer so he had connections in the news and his guy would give him scoops. He had a scrap book when they were filming Hoosiers, but what I’ll never forget is that it’s one thing to walk past a movie shoot but another thing to have lunch with John Candy! Maybe I’ll ask her if she can reach out to my aunt and have her sent the pictures

Great movie!!! Watched it a number of times as a child

[@fayewitt9881]

Summer Rental is among one of my favorites as well as Uncle Buck and The Great Outdoors.

[@LogicalNiko]

Yeah as much as a lot of people don't really think much about this movie, there is something about it that just hits me and makes me feel happy every single time I watch it. And this is one of those movies that I watched many many times. Jack learning to sail and then rehabbing the Barnacle just has something about it that I never get tired of.

[@StuBusDriver]

One of my favorite John Candy movies ever.

[@1down4upworkshop61]

Agreed

[@RobertDeanWells]

My father, Bob Wells (known to Clevelanders as "Hoolihan") has a small role in this film. Every time you see the villain, Richard Crenna, you see him, although he had few lines, he did get a full facial reaction shot when Crenna said my dad would be picking up the check in the restaurant scene. My mother, Barbara Wells, is also in this film as the neighbor who responds "having lunch", and later as a yacht race official. Dad relates that John was the absolutely nicest guy, and working with Crenna and director Carl Reiner was a career highlight for him. I, too, sorely miss John Candy, and count this film as one of my favorites. He was an outstanding talent the likes of which we might never see again.

[@MrWoodMan23]

John Candy was such a masterful comedian. 🙏

[@adamjlozano2454]

John Candy wasn't just a great actor but a great person and friend. Everyone that worked with him has only said positive things to say about him. I love his movies my favorite ones being Planes, Trains, and Automobiles and Uncle Buck. Rest in Peace John Candy you will truly be missed 🫡

[@fayewitt9881]

[@ac9559]

A low key, gentle and special comedy. I did not know the man, but I think he was playing his likable self and that is what made it work so well.

Another 80's Classic from John Candy!! ❤❤

[@appalachianpatriot1796]

I loved this movie. I saw in the theater with my boy scout troop of all things. In 85 we had our first family vacation in Florida with disney for part of it and the StPete area for the rest. I remember people talking about the movie a lot and some of the filming locations. This vacation was repeated with my own kids many years later.

John Candy will always be a legend to everyone who has followed his work! I'm by no means, an exception. My favorite film of his is called "Only The Lonely" with him, Maureen O'Hara and Anthony Quinn. Great film directed by Chris Columbus.

[@tonymata8070]

I have some info on that once planned sequel to Summer Rental. It was planned back in the day, and I saw it in a Paramount Pictures presentation for investors that's online. The film was not just a sequel to Summer Rental, but a loose adaptation of the 1950 British film of the same name, but unfortunately, like you said... he passed away in 1994. But then, years later, Queen Latifah found the script for the abandoned sequel and absolutely loved it and asked for the script to be modified for her, and it would lead to 2006 remake to be made. The story was basically about a person finding out that they have a terminal illness and that they have a short amount of time on earth, so said person goes to a fancy hotel to spend every single moment till their last.

[@KanWoo76]

This is still in my Top 10 favorite summer movies, and I still watch it at least three times a year! I instantly fell in love with this movie when my father took my mother and me to see it when it came out. It was just so relatable and fun! I would also ALWAYS watch it as a triple feature with National Lampoon's Vacation & Jaws the night before I would take my family on road trips! Will always miss John Candy! Great times!!🎵Turning Around🎵

[@wezweasel]

Camp Candy was a fave sat morning cartoon growing up. There have been few celebrities that I have had an emotional reaction upon hearing of their passing, Candy was one of them. Thankful to have lived during a time of such people and to have seen them shine. May rag on Canada in the modern times, however some very talented people have come out of that country over the years, and for that i tip my hat.

[@wstine79]

The scene where the daughter told her mother to not look back at the beach guys checking them out was hilarious.

[@ruatonim]

This movie always seemed to fall into the afternoon movie slot back in the day and seems to usually be in rotation in the Netflix, Hulu, etc services these days. I don't know, it's one of my more favored "anytime" movies. The idea is simple with some great coloring outside the edges by a great cast. There is just so much relation between this movie and parts of our own vacations that bring the realism. John and Rip played so well off each other. Cheers.

[@dansimsss]

Seeing the outtakes of The great Outdoors remind me that one scene in the movie Crazy Bear was inspire from it. Candy was so good in one of my favorite modern comedy, Plain train and automobile . Miss that guy.

[@ethanshepherd4963]
