Bless him and rest him, he was hilarious! What movies did you enjoy most?

John's 80s Movies:
The Blues Brothers .. Double Negative .. Stripes .. It Came From Hollywood .. National Lampoons Vacation .. Going Berserk .. Splash .. Brewster's Millions .. Sesame Street Presents Follow That Bird .. Summer Rental .. Volunteers .. Tears Are Not Enough .. Armed And Dangerous .. Little Shop Of Horrors .. Spaceballs .. Planes, Trains, And Automobiles .. She's Having A Baby .. The Great Outdoors .. Hot To Trot (voice of Don) .. Who's Harry Crumb? .. Speed Zone .. Uncle Buck

Now, some of these were bit parts, but he is still credited as appearing in them. :)

3. Armed And Dangerous

2. Brewster's Millions - His wasn't the main character (Richard Pryor is), but he was still really good in this movie. :)

1. Stripes - Too funny! :)

John Candy was great!

UNCLE BUCK has got to be first on my list.

Not sure about the other two.. When was ONLY THE LONELY made (with Ally Sheedy) That was a great movie.

LOSTNTHE80S, "Only the Lonely" came out in 1991.

Y'know that is the same title as a song by the motels. Might make a good list. Songs that are the same as movie titles but not from the same movie like (Ghostbusters, Footloose, etc.)

back to the subject, I guess I liked him in Brewsters or Blues Bros. the best

I'll try to do this given that Candy has always been one of my favourites.

1. Planes, Trains and Automoiles
2. The Great Outdoors (makes eating hot dogs difficult, though.)
3. Summer Rental
4. Uncle Buck
5. Spaceballs

And I even left out Stripes on account of Candy not being the star. God, I miss that guy.

My all time fav was, Summer Rental! I guess for the fact is was funny as hell & he sports a Blackhawk jersey!
"Arrrgh, Captian BlackHawk"

Don't forget he had a small role in HOME ALONE also!
