That end freeze when John Candy waves and smiles always makes me tear up. Such a talented man such a tormented soul. He is truly missed

I miss John Candy. Not only was he funny as hell, but he was one of those rare comedians that had some genuine emotional range as an actor. Not to mention, how can you not laugh your ass off at the part with the hatchet. So good!

[@michaelcoffman4185]

What had me laughing hard was when his car smoked so much it looked like the space shuttle taking off.

[@thebluecollarbibleguy5114]

He does not get enough credit for his overall acting skill. I watch “JFK” from time to time just for his role. I think he outshines the entire all star cast that includes Costner, Pesci, Sutherland, Tommy Lee Jones, Ed Asner, Gary Oldman, Kevin Bacon, Jack Lemmon, etc

[@RDSports5]

Great call. I thought the same about Chris Farley. He didnt get to display it often, but when he got to show a more emotional side, he crushed it, much in the same way John did. Miss both those guys as actors, but also just as much as people

One of the pleasures of my life was meeting John Candy for a few moments at Toronto airport. In just a two minute conversation his infectious laugh had everyone around in stitches. The man was a gift.

[@JustWasted3HoursHere]

The scene where Buck talks to the school counselor about Maisy was done perfectly. The kid sitting out in the hall waiting was not told to do anything but was actually responding to what John Candy was saying to the lady.

[@nealm6764]

Yeah, sure. They just let some random kid in the background and risked he would ruin the shot, but instead he just naturally nailed it. Yep.

[@nealm6764]

@@JustWasted3HoursHere Totally! Worlds greatest child actor who was then blackballed out of the industry. Luckily they just let him wander onto the shoot that day and sit clearly in the background of the shot, and they did it all in one take with no direction from the director, so as not to ruin the perfect reaction. Good stuff! so amazing!

[@JustWasted3HoursHere]

@@nealm6764 My sarcasm detector is going crazy for some reason... This sort of natural acting from non-actors is not unheard of. Sometimes it's on purpose, like in this case, and sometimes it's a happy accident like when Dustin Hoffman yells "Hey, I'm walking here!" in Midnight Cowboy to the cabby who was not supposed to be there (the street was blocked off for filming but somehow this cabby squeaked through). The cabbie's actions and reaction is real. And that kid would not be the first kid who did a movie and then never did another one. The scrap heaps of Hollywood are littered with them.

[@nealm6764]

@@JustWasted3HoursHere I just think that you have not the slightest clues how movies are made... This was a closed set with a standard movie crew. Some random kid didn't just wander on and get placed in shot for a scene where he was surprised by it.

Also a great thing about John Candy is every story people tell about him is that he was basically like his character in this film. I think it was Eugene Levy telling a story when he had broken his leg and called John to pick him up from the hospital. He basically came in with the, "Geez, ya big clutz, come on you," and then carried him to the wheelchair. He started on SCTV (basically Canadian SNL) and SNL tried to get him to go to their show a bunch of times, but he refused out of loyalty to the people and show he started with. Classy guy.

Other great John Candy movies: "Brewster's Millions," "Summer Rental," "Armed and Dangerous," "Spaceballs," "The Great Outdoors," "Splash," "Stripes," "Who's Harry Crumb?" and "Canadian Bacon." Though he died young, he was one of my favorite 80's comedians. He was the lovable comedian who was able to be funny without being crude; seeing him is like seeing an old friend walking through the door. As far as John Hughes movies go, give "Weird Science" a shot; very funny movie and it has a young Robert Downey in it.

Here's the thing about John Candy, in everything of his you'll ever see: Authenticity and sincerity. No matter what character he plays, he has the ability to make your stomach hurt crying with laughter, and then tear your heart out with just a look and a soft, sincere voice. He can evoke sorrow and hurt better than almost anyone. Very few actors can embody that combination of traits, and I've never seen any of the few do it as well as John Candy does. He's in a league all his own.

[@ronaldproctor9454]

If only we had John Candy still with us....just imagine how many more priceless gems of side splitting laughter he would have given the world and the world needs more laughter and less sadness and hate that we have an unfathomable amount of and not nearly enough of the humor and good memories that we truly need in our lives.

Geez, Samantha, let the poor guy get his own name out! I'm just playing. This is a terrific John Candy movie. Maybe the quintessential John Candy movie, and Macauley Culkin's first big break. I also remember him from the Disney cartoon The Rescuers Down Under, the sequel to The Rescuers that I used to listen to on vinyl back when I was a kid, as Wilbur, brother of Orville, an Albatross. Both excellent movies. I believe the 2nd movie is the first full length, CGI 2D movie. It actually looks pretty stunning. Sadly, they went 3D with Toy Story and never looked back.
