Default John Candy

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.

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

PT&A for me.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

Planes, Trains, and Automobiles. One of the greatest holiday movies ever. Always funny and showed his range in some of the sadder scenes. Great actor period.

Always will be Uncle Buck for me. Amazing actor and comedian gone too soon.

I heard the other day that in Home Alone, which he did as a favour to John Hughes, he came in for the day and improvised much of his part.

I have so many fond memories of growing up with his movies, but Uncle Buck is extra special to me as well. And I love what he did in Home Alone.
