John Candy - Blu-ray Forum

mdtulp · 03-28-2008, 09:50 PM

I was looking at my autographed John Candy photo the other day and started thinking about how great a comic he was. So many of his films remind me of my childhood and how hard I laughed in the theaters watching him. So I thought I'd put up another poll asking you what your favorite John Candy film is. I didn't put some of the films where he played a tiny part, but I got to admit his short role in JFK was brilliant. So vote away in rememberence of one of film's greatest comedic actors

This morning I watched Planes, Trains, & Automobiles on HD cable and I was thinking we need some John Candy movies on Blu-Ray. Uncle Buck is one of my favorites.

Rob71 · 03-28-2008, 10:41 PM

Planes, Trains, & Automobiles for me. Although The Great Outdoors is a close second.

mgonzo2u · 03-28-2008, 10:44 PM

PT&A for me.

The rental counter scene with S MARTIN is an all-time classic in my household.

MartinMan · 03-28-2008, 11:39 PM

Spaceballs

Planes, Trains, and Automobiles.

Steve Martin and John Candy should had made more movies together. It's a shame about what happened to John Candy. May he rest in peace.

GreenScar · 03-29-2008, 01:08 AM

Love John Candy. It really was sad when he died.

I had to go with Planes, Trains and Automobiles. One of my top 10 comedies of all time. Candy is also synonymous with Uncle Buck.

Galley · 03-29-2008, 01:12 AM

Del Griffith was one of John Hughes' greatest characters. No one else could've played it better than John Candy.

209Mason · 03-29-2008, 01:58 AM

Planes, Trains, and Automobiles hands down...

OMG, that scene with Steve Martin and the car rental lady (the receptionist from Ferris Bueller) is worth the price of admission alone!

Rabidhunter · 03-29-2008, 02:35 AM

EVery one of those movies that I have watched I liked. Spaceballs my one favorite though.

KenThompson · 03-29-2008, 02:43 AM

I voted for Spaceballs but it was a toss up with Plane Trains and Autos.I am also a fan of The Great Outdoors and Uncle Buck.

Umm, where's your right hand?

Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, one of my favorite comedies of all time!

LynxFX · 03-29-2008, 04:59 AM

Planes, Trains and Automobiles. Definitely one of the best comedies of all time. A Thanksgiving classic!

Love Spaceballs too and Cool Runnings.

Sylin · 03-29-2008, 05:52 AM

His character in Little Shop of Horrors was also pretty funny, although that scene only lasted for all of 2 minutes.

PS... you forgot Delirious, which is a GREAT comedy.

Stephie_is_a_dork · 03-29-2008, 06:02 AM

Uncle Buck was totally one of my faves as a kid. Spaceballs and The Great Outdoors aren't far behind though.

I think I saw Planes, Trains and Automobiles once, but was too young to remember much of it. I guess I should put it on my must watch list.

To the OP, did you notice you put Splash on the poll twice?

Variable · 03-29-2008, 06:12 AM

Who's Harry Crumb got my vote, but it could have been that, Uncle Buck, or Plains, Trains, and Automobiles.

I love John Candy.

oops my bad, one of those was supposed to be Delerious

kylor · 09-22-2020, 10:10 PM

Planes, Trains, and Automobiles for me. Uncle Buck is second place.

I like his smaller roles in films too, like Home Alone, Blues Brothers and Little Shop of Horrors.
