What is your favorite John Candy movie?

What is your favorite John Candy movie?

by Anonymousreply 22October 19, 2025 11:46 PM

Now that I've seen it in poll form, I don't really like any John Candy movies, which is surprising to me. I remember him as a beloved figure from my childhood, but I gut not?

Only The Lonely.

The porno that he did.

No home alone?

He never came close to his SCTV brilliance once he jumped to the big screen, but he was pretty funny in "Splash."

None.

He was a fat ham.

All of the SCTV crew turned out to be overrated, except Catherine O'Hara and Andrea Martin.

I loved him in Only the Lonely.

Only The Lonely was a great movie. He and Maureen O'Hara loved working together and were planning to do a sequel together before he died :(.

Summer Rental is kind of entertaining. I absolutely fucking hate Planes, Trains, and Automobiles and cannot fathom why it has such a big fanbase.

Only the Lonely is so good! I'm so irritated that Colin Hanks' doc about John Candy didn't even mention it. I wonder what the sequel would be like?

JFK, which OP omitted.

He has good to great in almost anything he was in, but he shined in Planes Trains and Automobiles.

Great Outdoors of course.

Wait, is John Candy a person? That’s what I’ve always called twinks you pick up in the men’s room.

I picked Stripes, but only because I found it funny the last time I watched, but it was an ensemble. I agree with the poster above that I don't like any "John Candy movie."

Only the Lonely was wonderful.

A remake of "Marty" - one of my favorite movies.
