Uncle Buck

The Great Outdoors

Who's Harry Crumb

is my order.

Planes, Trains, and Automobiles is his best work, too bad we never got to see him in more dramatic roles, he had a good turn in JFK -

.

On a semi related note -

Val Kilmer for a biopic would work -

John Candy -

Had an sister-in-law once (no longer tied to that family) who looked exactly like John Candy with full grown beard... The guy who married her look like Lee van Cleef. Their child was ehm... not pretty... and not smart...

Planes, Trains, and Automobiles was decent, but hey, he's no Kevin Hart.

John Candy was quite the Kevin Hart!

Preferred Who's Harry Crumb over Uncle Buck though.

John Candy was a great man.  All of those are excellent movies but I think he gave his best performance in Planes, Trains and Automobiles.  If you're not getting a little teary eyed in the scene at the end where he tells Steve Martin about his dead wife...then there's something wrong with you as a human being.

All John Candy movies are funny and entertaining.  I was disappointed when this guy died.

Uncle Buck is the best...

Of the three I'd say Uncle Buck.

I did like Summer Rental and the love the "ole 96r" scene from Great Outdoors.  Liked Armed and Dangerous too!

"Uncle Buck" is a classic but I think "Who's Harry Crumb" is very underrated.  The bit where he buys the used car is one of the funniest things I've ever seen in my life.

John Candy fucking rules.

After arguing emphatically with the car salesman (no audio).... Harry Crumb gets the car that he wants; and he then proceeds to drive it off the lot, right into traffic and gets T Boned. Accident = 100% his fault

If I'm remembering it correctly what was funny about it was that the car salesman was trying to get him to buy an expensive car and he was like no, what about this other (cheaper) car.  He buys the cheap car and then pulls out of the lot and immediately gets hit and totals it.  He is then forced to buy the expensive car after all.  All conveyed without any audio like a silent movie.  Many lolz.

Uncle Buck and Planes, Trains and Automobiles were great.    Apparently, Chevy Chase said something at a party that  Candy didn't like so JC put him in a headlock and sat down on a couch and held on while Chase kept repeating, "This isn't funny, John"
