I don't get why they asked him to lose so much weight for that film. (100 pounds, an unhealthy amount to lose in a single summer) .. His original weight wouldn't have detracted from his character -- if anything, it would lend even more authenticity to the comedy.

Steve Martin is fine actor and a great comedian. But in Planes Trains and Automobiles, the final scene in the train station when John says "Marie's been dead for eight years" his delivery is beyond perfect. It is straight from his heart to ours. It is one of those moments where only incredible talent will do. And poor Steve had to react to that moment and he didn't measure up. That's how good John Candy was. Of course if Maureen O'Hara says you're good, well, you're good. She would know.

[@emrebilgi]

Stress from the cold turkey effect of smoking a few months ago and the team he co-owned was sold, alcohol shots, tiring shooting and mediocre accommodation in Mexico, arguments about the script combined took its toll on his life.

John Candy made the world laugh!He was hilarious in trains,planes and automobiles.

"A little Mexican trip"

[@susieq2806]

I am a Canadian, just like John was. He makes me proud to be one. His work was real, so great !. Wish I could of met him😊💖👍

[@MichaelJirochVisualArtist]

This was heartbreaking to watch. I miss him so much. I had the great pleasure of meeting him once. I asked him for an autograph but to sign it as Orson Welles, and he kindly obliged me. That was 1985. My favorite Candy character was Dr. Tongue. And Johnny LaRue. I still watch the SCtV Christmas Show religiously ever year.

[@poky1958]

My very favorite John Candy movie was Summer Rental. But I love them all.

[@BasilHWhite]

My favorite has to be Uncle Buck but he's so funny in Armed and Dangerous and Summer Rental, too.

[@scottjohnstone6430]

i agree, but trains , planes and automobles made you think about learning about people before you judge them

[@willful7]

I like most of his work, but Volunteers ALWAYS cracks me up!

[@kckev00]

Stripes is also one of his best

[@Daniel-dl6fp]

I agree it was good but I have to say planes trains and automobiles is so great I've never seen such an amazing film before I just wish he was still here in films he was very unique he was in the best comedy films ever I really wish I could have met him

[@joeb8162]

Indeed John Candy lives on forever.

[@MickeyKnox]

that motel scene from Planes, Trains and Automobiles always brings me to tears - he was the best. Man I miss John Candy.

[@markusantonio4866]

Drinking the travelers, lol!

[@Thulgore]

That Orson Welles impression was fucking spot on!! I'd never seen that before. Holy shit I actually thought it was Orson.

Move the camera

[@rxchickenman]

Mr. Candy will never completely die. He will live on in our hearts from all the laughter he brought to this world. I’m showing the kids Uncle Buck this weekend, keep that laughter going…

[@papabear9481]

Uncle Buck was one of my favorites, but truth be told, I can't remember a JC movie that I disliked. Sure miss that man

[@kevintesar6748]

I miss you so much. You were my father when my own couldn't be there. My only wish is that place you went to is half as beautiful as you made this one with your love. To one of the most genuine and kind hearted people that I've ever had the good fortune to cast my gance upon, have glorious travels across the universes. I know we'll get to meet in person someday.

[@martinbirkenhead976]

Beautiful

[@evilone6785]

I miss John. Made growing up in the 80s the best.

[@ssnoc]

John Candy was truly one of a kind - a funny, gentle beautiful person - RIP 👏🙏

[@ZenyattaFan1]

How could you not love John Candy? He was one of a kind. He is sorely missed to this day. If I had to come up with a list of the top 5 funniest guys ever, John would definitely be on that list. He might even be #1. I can't think of a funnier guy than John Candy.

[@Jiv_Ing57819]

What a shit name, like calling someone John Lolly, I mean what a joke, your just an imperial wreck (the USA), you've easily caused most of climate change so this is what humans will be remembered for (extinct).

[@Jiv_Ing57819]

@Cody Levinson You understand?? I shouldn't get when I type in a musician's name on youtube and get nothing but videos by you and whatever I type in, whatever, it's only your videos, I can't find normal videos, believe me I've tried. I should only be able to write in an account you own's name then click on it and watch and I would be willing to do that because that is a lot more respectful and better for a relationship of some kind. However it is only your videos no matter what, I'd have to move house and buy a new computer and get a new account to fix this on my own, so yes you have the power, congratulations your a controlling, freedom-depriving arsehole, daughter of Stalin.

[@Jiv_Ing57819]

Also, nice commenting on every single video I watch too............. Not, it's shit and careless.

[@richardgshields]

I love how everyone who ever knew the man had only gracious things to say about him. That tells you he was someone very special .

[@SpryteintheAndes]

Beautiful tribute to a truly beautiful human who made us all laugh and believe in a better world.

[@billc3271]

No-one is ever really gone if you remember them.

[@jcee6886]

I was uncle buck to my nieces and nephews and I love it. Every time I see John I feel like an orange whip. And, my dashboard keyboard skills are only bested by John Candy.

[@gregsidel3557]

The world is definitely A sadder place to be without John Candy, Thank you John!!😊

[@idontreadyourrepliesever8032]

His death deeply saddens me to this day. Truly a genius and a nice guy. Hard to bring those two things together. Take it easy big guy, wherever you are.

[@sij6169]

Candy was a genius, a comic genius. The way he could carry a scene was something I've never seen a comic actor do. Then in films like JFK he could deliver bang on great acting. What a talent

[@GRJTX]

I haven't forgot about John. I was just thinking about him and watched this. John is and will always be one of my favorites.

[@rogozzy1]

So glad to own most of his movies. A member of the greats. He is sorely missed in this crappy world we find ourselves in today.

[@ColinVanderheide]

John Candy a true legend who is sadly missed. Uncle Buck fantastic movie I have watched that many times. Thank you John Candy for the memories ... a man who was bigger than life.
