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.

Don't forget "Summer Rental."

Of those three, Uncle Buck.

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.

He was good in those black&white movies with Stan Laurel.

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

Uncle Buck is the best...

John Candy is a great one.

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!
