It has slapstick comedic elements very much like Trains, Planes, and Automobiles, and it was written and produced by, you guessed it, John Hughes! Definitely another good one to watch.

"John Candy" is a national treasure. The fact he was born in Canada surprises no one. We in Canada loved him. I met him at an Argonauts game (CFL) where he co-owned the team. He was SUPER friendly. A great one missed.

It sucks when these big guys go so early

My parents were at an Argos game one evening when John Candy was attending, and when everyone saw him out near/on the field, the crowd started chanting, “Uncle Buck! Uncle Buck!” And he smiled and waved to the crowd.

John Candy movie honoring "same character, but every movie is so different": His last one: _Canadian Bacon_

[@Gradyolson]

You done had to say it, I held it together when she was giving him all the accolades trying not to cry about his untimely death and there it is "His last one" yes she needs to see it.

[@themakingofourtipi7898]

His last movie was Going East

[@Trebor74]

Disliked the pair of them.

[@emperorkalan]

@@themakingofourtipi7898 _Wagons East_ was the last movie he filmed, but it was released nearly a year before _Canadian Bacon_

[@CavemanSynthesizer]

Canadian Bacon is the best.

I was 8 when the 80's began and 18 at the end of the decade. To say I grew up with most of the films you're watching is an understatement. No internet, no cellphones, we had no computer at home the entire time, I lived breathed, eat and slept these films. I vividly remember Rocky IV and Top Gun in the cinema just as I was old enough to go on my own, and then into the 90's I would build my VHS collections of all the films I saw and missed. The number one lesson to learn from having seen Uncle Buck (you've already learned that John Candy is a LEGEND), is that John Hughes kind of knew what he was doing when it came to making movies. (I'm being sarcastic of course). The fact that he wrote, directed, produced a film that hits so many of the right notes, and then look at the casting, and then how the film has stood up so many years later.... and I've limited this comment to just the films in the 80's, there are many more in the 90's and 2000's as well. So, take a look at the other John Hughes films and there are many more gems to be found. A 'few' that are some of my personal favourites and would be in my all time top 100, many in the top 20: In no particular order: The Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink, Sixteen Candles, Weird Science, She's Having A Baby, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Some Kind Of Wonderful. For several of these, be sure to have the tissues at the ready. The scripts, drama, writing, and film making, just brilliantly done. Of particular note The Breakfast Club, referenced heavily in Pitch Perfect and no doubt many other films, this is one of my all time favourites; and Some Kind Of Wonderful (another film very dear to my heart), whoever was responsible for selecting the music for the soundtrack, one of the best soundtracks of all time. They assembled some really seriously good tracks, often from obscure and unknown artists, many of which nobody will have heard of, which are now iconic because of the film. The casting, well it's difficult to know where to begin. Molly Ringwald (several films), Andrew McCarthy, Kevin Bacon, Matthew Broderick, Mary Stuart Masterson, Judd Nelson, Emilio Estevez..... Great to see how much enjoyment you get from discovering these films. I could easily give you a list of 100 films everyone should see before they die, a bucket list if you will, of all kinds of genres, and eras. It's a Wonderful Life is definitely the oldest in the list and it took me a long time to realise I should see it. It kept coming up on these top 100 lists and I looked at the year it was made and was (very wrongly) dismissive of it. What a huuuge mistake that was. So invested was i in the characters that I was a complete mess by the end. Definitely one for the bucket list if you haven't already experienced it. Schindler's List was another film that I knew it was important that I saw and it was a good few years after it was released that I made the time to get a copy and ensure I wouldn't be interrupted. I'd heard of friends reactions when they saw it, and I sobbed for minutes as the credits rolled. I've only ever watched it the once, and it is high on my all time best list. It's one of those films that you just have to watch to understand why it is so important as a film. Keep enjoying what you do and good luck on the channel growing and growing. All the very best.

John Candy is also in "Cool Runnings", which is based the true story of the Jamaican Bobsled Team. It's hilarious, but inspiring. Jamaica still competes in the Luge in the Winter Olympics.

Yes! Part of that movie was filmed in my hometown. Great memory of when John Candy was there to film it.

Ashleigh, I feel the same way about John Candy. Brilliant, funny, GREAT actor!! He should have won an Oscar or at least a nomination for Planes, Trains & Automobiles. LOVE him!!!

[@richardbalducci4490]

Probably the BEST, most honest John Candy movie is “Only The Lonely”, with Maureen O’Hara playing his well-meaning Mother. It’s always interesting to see two great Actors from different Generations acting together, for the first time; in order to truly appreciate Maureen O’Hara in her beautiful prime, you NEED to see her in “The Quiet Man”, opposite John Wayne; that will end up being, probably, one of the VERY BEST MOVIES that you will ever see, Darling Ashleigh. (“Hi” to Beans...really big fan of your work❗️) 💜🍸

[@SouthPaw7896]

I second this opinion!

[@MUSICLOVER23429]

The Quiet Man is truly one of John Wayne and John Ford's best films.

[@stephenolan5539]

Anthony Quinn was also great in this.

[@mikewoodrow5878]

Yes! Candy’s best acting, in Only the Lonely.

[@saveronshadow]

Brewster's Millions with Richard Pryor and John Candy.

'Only the lonely'. You can see how good of a dramatic actor John is.
