Uncle Buck  :)

Hard choice (I like most of 'em) but if I had to pick one - "Uncle Buck".

In the early 90's, I came to be a pretty big fan of his stuff (we rented movies alot at the time). I was pretty sad when I was 12 and he died (March of '94). :(

His characters were usually just different enough from each other to be unique, but I think they all had certain similarities (especially the humor aspect!). I think Del Griffith and Uncle Buck would've gotten along!

This was tough. It's a toss up between "Plains, Trains, and Automobiles" and "The Great Outdoors". I Haven't seen "Space Balls" yet, but I heard that it's REALLY funny.

Very tough but I went for 'other' in the form of Brewster's Millions.  :)

Neal: Del... Why did you kiss my ear?
Del: Why are you holding my hand?
Neal: Where are your other hand?
Del: Between two pillows...
Neal: Those AREN'T PILLOWS!

My favorite scene in the movie.  ;D

Anyone here seen "Who's Harry Crumb?"  It was an ok movie.

LOL, there were so many "memorable" lines in that.

Neal: "Four f-ing wheels and a seat!" was one of my favorites. ;D

I loved that one too - perfect blend of slapstick, action/adventure and dumb comedy.

I think from about 1991 to 94, I pretty much tried to see every John Candy movie out (especially since he mostly just did the same kind of comedies).

His first starring role, "Summer Rental" was really good too - even if it kinda loses steam in the second half, IMO. Really evokes the pop culture of 1985 well - like Jennifer's gigantic headphones. ;)

Uncle Buck is the best one.. with him as the star. Of course the best movie out of the bunch is The Blues Brothers. To this day one of my favourite movies.

Funny story.

I used to watch it religiously when i was a young kid. We're talking like most days.

Anyway when i was like 6 my mom goes Andrew clean your bedroom please. 'No Fuc*king way!'  ;D

You probably had to be there.. but still.

John Candy was in Home Alone??  The same one starring Macauley Culkin?  Did he play one of the various relatives?

Great Actor and person. I chose Uncle Buck because he was the main subject of the movie....but I like them all ;)
