John Candy

[53' Stude]

Calling fellow Canadians. I was wondering how many folks remember John Candy. I love all of his movies and he looked like a wonderful man. I love Dan Aykroyd movies as well. Thank You all in advance

I remember him well! His death hit me pretty hard actually, it was the first celebrity death that I remember where I actually felt as if I personally knew him, after being such a big fan of pretty much every single thing he had ever done. I was a huge fan of SCTV growing up, the stuff he did on there was absolutely brilliant.

We lost a great comedian when he died. I still laugh my behind off watching Trains-Planes & Automobiles with him and Steve Martin. Or Uncle Buck.

Big fan of Dan as well. I like his Crystal Skull Vodka. Not because of the hype but because it's super smooth.

I watched Canadian Bacon not that long ago, good stuff.

 

[Kawiguy454]

you don't need to be Kanuck to think he was awesome. ...I was sad he left too soon.

My name's Dewey Oxburger. My friends call me Ox. You might have noticed that, uh, I've got a slight weight problem.

Genius comedian!

I also loved him in Stripes as well as SCTV.

My ribs were sore the next day after watching Trains Planes and Automobiles. Steve Martin was the perfect straight man. Such a loss.

I remember seeing uncle buck in the movie theatre when it came out.

I always think of him and Chris Farley at the same time.Farley was over the top,obnoxious,and heavy into drugs.John Candy was the exact opposite....he shouldn't have died.

I never get tired of watching Uncle Buck. Definitely my favorite John Candy movie.

 

[blupupher]

I always think of him in SpaceBalls.

Gone way too soon, a great comedian. I miss Rodney a lot too.

 

[cb450sc]

He was one of many great Canadian comedians. So many good movies but I think my favourite is Uncle Buck. It seems to touch all of the bases for a good movie.

 

[StevieC]

I would have loved to do a UOA on that car Uncle Buck drove.

Uncle Buck was also one of my favourites. John Candy's SCTV days were great, too!

I agree that John left us too soon and he was well loved.
Besides playing in comedy roles, one of my favorite parts that John played was, Dean Andrews in JFK. A short part but, he poured his heart out in the role. Much different than his other roles.
