I liked him in Stripes even though his role in that movie was limited.

I was a big fan of his. R.I.P. played the part of an average Joe very well.

"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.

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"
