Uncle Buck

[@poindextertunes]

John Candy deserved an Oscar for Planes, Trains and Automobiles 💯

[@leesashriber5097]

Agreed 💯

[@handsomeblackman255]

Classic movie indeed.

[@handsomeblackman255]

My favorite quote: "She's tough, her first baby come out sideways...."

[@johnmclaughlin1946]

I'm sure that will bring him back

[@carriebautch9382]

Uncle Buck

[@J0nny_Ch1mp0]

That monologue towards the end of planes trains and automobiles. You could feel the pain & sadness radiating from John's character. I just wanted to give the big fella a hug. What a great actor

[@sralyn]

He speaks for all of us that moment.

[@richbuang2]

John Candy is a legend

[@Eminems_woman_4_life]

Ehhh. I know he was huge but i don't understand why

[@brad3042]

He's on my Mount Rushmore of comedic actors. Discovering his early SCTV stuff made me appreciate him even more.

[@Thats_Hedley]

He was AWESOME in JFK as a Louisiana lawyer. Straight drama, straight intensity! Miss u John!

[@zerovalon6243]

It's a shame he didn't get to do more roles like that. He was so versatile. Like Robin Williams and Jim Carrey.

[@user60521123]

The best people are always taken way too early. Miss you, John Candy!! ❤ RIP.

[@jaraza323]

Like John ritter

[@leesashriber5097]

[@JennAyBaybAyy]

I loved him!!!!! Watched him growing up!!!!! 😢♥️♥️♥️

[@badmufasa79]

Definitely one of the most loved actors from my childhood.

[@videoj81]

Mr. John Candy was a huge part of my childhood, and many kids in the 80s . As an adult I appreciated his work even more , what a great actor. Thank you for the memories R.I.P.

[@superfreakmorris4251]

My favorite character of his was Uncle Buck. ❤ " here's a quarter.... go to the pet store and buy a rat to naw off that wort " 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@libertyresearch-iu4fy]

Moley, moley, moley!

[@missjojoy212]

The brightest stars burn out too quickly. John still touches my heart. Love you

[@donnamitchell7707]

John Candy was born, and raised in Newmarket Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦. I met him once when he owned the Toronto Argos football team. He was an amazing man. I enjoyed every movie that he was in. My favorites are, Cool Running, and Stripes. I miss him. Have a great day ❤️🙂⚘️.

[@pedanpontif]

A lot of the greatest comedic movie actors come from Canada. John Candy, Jim Carrey, and Phil Hartman to name a few.

[@donnamitchell7707]

@pedanpontif That's true. Pamela Anderson, Donald Sutherland, and his sons are also Canadian actors. I hope you have a fantastic day Pedan🙂⚘️.

[@FrankyBallou]

John Candy’s part in JFK was phenomenal imo…

[@Badass_Rooster]

I met John 1 time! He absolutely talk to me like a regular guy! Like he’d known me for years and years! He will always be my favorite actor ever!!

[@thefamouspeopleus]

John Candy's legacy as a comedy icon continues to amaze me.

[@bobski7032]

You didn’t mention his generosity with Maureen O’Hara on the set of “only the lonely “ it was an incredible act of selflessness that should have been mentioned

[@batticusmanacleas510]

What did he do and why?

[@eddierascalhaskell4954]

Right. You tell someone they overlooked something without divilging the info...thas weird.

[@bobski7032]

@ on the set of “Only the lonely “ he had a bigger trailer than Maureen O’Hara …he told the production company to get her a trailer his size they said no ..then he said he wanted to swap trailers with her ..they realized they had to get her a bigger trailer so they did …unselfish gentlemen …RIP Mr C

[@eddierascalhaskell4954]

@@bobski7032 why not just add that to the original post?

[@Knorkooli]

Such a shame he did not understand where he truly sat within the world. Even the worst movies were still decent because of him. He could have taken time off from acting for a few years and all most of us would have done was waited for his return. Candy was one of very few actors who could make me laugh and cry at the same time. I don't think there is one movie he was in that I didn't end up enjoying.... well at least his parts :)! I so wish his life hadn't ended when he did because I would have loved to have seen what else he ended up doing. Kinda sad he did not realize how truly loved he was.

[@josh24441]

I honestly feel that if John candy was still alive today that he would’ve been like Rick Morranis and ultimately just walk away from acting and the spotlight. Like besides the occasional guest spot and voice acting, he would’ve started living a quiet life in Canada.

[@Sandlot1992]

You should do one on Bill Paxton next!

[@thekeef2187]

Grew up watching class acts, carried their humor with me my whole life. Candy near the top of that list easily.

[@chaunceyvaughan5264]

Gen X’s uncle.

[@eddierascalhaskell4954]

Definitely

[@JeffReams]

He sure was. I loved all his films as a kid.

[@TheCrazyCanuck420]

I can't even picture John getting drunk. I miss him 😢

[@Fear_The_Spear-1006]

My favorite actor of all time! 😢

[@JonasWhite]

Candy, Moranes, & Ramis also did some voice work on the most badass 1981 movie Heavy Metal

[@The_Pariah]

I wish John Candy understood how much he meant to people. Even in the current year, he could go to any city and there'd be a line of people wanting to meet him and talk to him and buy him a beer or get dinner with him. All because they loved how great and actor he was and how much he made people laugh. He won in life. He did what many of us aspire to do...enrich the lives of others.

[@adakaygrogan5956]

His one of all time greatest

[@DomingoCaro-h5v]

Rest in peace

[@kendellstewart2090]

Sorry you didn't know how much you are loved worldwide John.

[@ADP12345]

He wont see this

[@IamSCS]

Uncle Buck is a movie my husband and I quote routinely. For example, neither of us can see an axe or hatchet without saying, “Sort of…” 😅

[@bresams2917]

Rip Mr.Candy ❤ loved all his movies especially cool runnings

[@ICLight412]

… the end summoning up things, no clue if true. It sure relates to the great Robin Williams. I miss both these guys. As a kid these two where your great uncle to play with. These amazing guys who’d make you laugh, feel warm, comfortable, the aura of family life just glowed!!! Hurts hearing these 2 guys where very insecure and anxious about pleasing others… meanwhile they where doing more… making us happy, content, loved, normal, so many good things… brings happy and sad tears as I write this, RIP fellows…

[@MaryahTomshort]

He did good voice work.

[@biggiefitz6275]

Bob Elmore was Johns stunt double for many yesrs. He told me at a convention that John was THE kindest man he knew. Always treated fans great and would take as much time as necessary to talk to everyone, even if it made him late.

[@chrisxavier3147]

Everyone loved John Candy and for good reason, RIP

[@DanielMcGuire-x2r]

As the popular meme says, I'll randomly think about him and miss the HELL outta him! A legend for his humanity and comedy.

[@Jjj-it4iq]

Heavy Metal was one of my favorite John Candy works, he was instantly recognizable to me.

[@nisto1518]

That's such a shame. He had no idea, outside his family, how much he was loved. John Candy forever!

[@shanedpain7734]

He made a great speech in Uncle Buck, about caring for his niece…

[@MrRadioblog]

The most wonderful actor in earth I would of loved to met you and seen more of your amazing movies. Rest in peace John Candy king of acting

[@MelloMood1]

🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊 John Candy. My favorite John Candy movie is Armed & Dangerous and Plains, Trains & Automobiles being a very close 2nd.

[@dfyband]

No John, we’re saving that European accent for a supporting role in Ghostbusters II

[@Hellseeker1]

One of the few greats who was an actual down to earth angel, love that man and miss him dearly. Sad thing is as time goes by his memory will be lost on new generations not watching his movies.

[@rmangg5711]

Once heard that no talent, Arsenio Hall, slag Candy on his flash in the pan show...saying , "somebody tell John Candy to stop making movies." Hey Arsenio...I still watch Planes, Trains and Automobiles one in awhile, nearly 40 years after it came out....and where have you been the last 20 years?

[@eddierascalhaskell4954]

Hurtin' over a slag made likely 30 years ago...thats a you problem. Its obvious where Arsenio ended up.

[@theamazingandtalentedblake8296]

My favorite role of John Candy is Barf in Spaceballs

[@chrisbrown8748]

I can’t believe that I’m now older than John Candy ever made it to.

[@undercovertommy]

Rip john candy uncle home alone favout movies

[@eddierascalhaskell4954]

I miss John Candy. Pluto TV played a lot of his movies in the last couple months. I hadnt seen Who's Harry Crumb and Armed and Dangerous in well over a decade.

[@evandylan]

Idk I just remember him as the drummer for The Queenhaters

[@shanewoods1980]

Wagons East filming put a strain on John, he hated the filming of that movie. The riding was killing his back every day.

[@vgtrp]

And it wasn’t that great movie to begin with.

[@RockoRocko-rz7kx]

My fav with him is uncle Buck.

[@trishnelson5944]

Loved Uncle Buck so much, I named my daughter Tia.

[@MrAdamhigo]

John was in blues brother 1980

[@rogermurphey7444]

My favorite John Candy movie is Plains Trains and Automobiles......I don't think that most people knew that he had his own radio show. In southern California. Short lived. RADIO CANDY. I liasoned to it quite often, until it was canceled. Dose anyone remember his radio show?

[@theadvocate4698]

He is a legend!

[@tobiojo6469]

The only movies I’ve seen John Candy are National Lampoons vacation, Home Alone and Canadian Bacon.

[@eddierascalhaskell4954]

Theres more, and he's great in all of them.

[@tomace194]

His daughter looks very much like John. His son Chris plays in a band in Chicago with the drummer of one of Chicago's best bands ever called the lawrence arms. Can't remember their bands name though.

[@RoyceAubuchon]

Great actor and comedian

[@brewcrew5854]

"hello Gus !" "Del.... Del Griffith how the he** are you ? " ""well i'm still a million dollars short being a millionaire ! " the greatest character in movie history well it up there anyway !

[@handbananaistherapist642]

WOOOOO WOOOOOO!!!! She bl0wd up real good!

[@christophernewhouse5832]

I wish i had met John Candy he did a lot of good comedian work he influenced society towards the correct direction its really sad though that he felt so worthless when people actually looked up 2 him money doesn't mean everything neither does peoples opinions. Good job on narrating the video.

[@DenshaOtoko2]

Only the Lonely 1991 was his best role except for the Polka band leader in Home Alone 1990.

[@jmcd21182]

Outside looking in.. John Candy is Dead. John Candy was Alive.

[@mskfrutoz]

Uncle Buck I saw so many times I can coute the whole movie

[@derek2593]

I have to wonder if Peter Griffin in family guy is loosely modeled after John Candy.

[@steverobertson1729]

John Candy was a comical GENIUS that guys like Chris Farley and Will Ferrell always tried (and FAILED) to imitate.
