I don't watch a whole lot of documentaries but this one I am looking forward too.

 

[Kenpachii]

Always liked him in movies, such a shame he died so early in his life.

 

[AJUMP23]

Looks good.

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

Thanks, I'll watch this. He passed way to young.

 

[bitbydeath]

Was good to see a clip of "Nothing But Trouble" in the trailer. Highly underrated movie.

 

[Beretta]

Barf was the best lmfao

I'll be watching this.

 

[Avid Reading Horse]

Was good to see a clip of "Nothing But Trouble" in the trailer. Highly underrated movie.

Worth it just for the Digital Underground bit. And Prime Demi.

 

[DreamcastSkies]

Classic American movie moment;

Worth it just for the Digital Underground bit. And Prime Demi.

I love Same Song by Digital Underground and from what I've seen Nothing But Trouble has really underrated set designs made for it. I've been meaning to watch this but haven't yet.

 

[Dirk Benedict]

This Guy was fucking awesome. I think I liked nearly everything he was in. Uncle Buck is still one of my favorites.

 

[Robot Carnival]

this is gonna make me cry. I just knew it already.

 

[NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt]

I grew up watching him, hearing about his death at the time really devestated me

 

[Ozzie666]

Planes, trains and automobiles is one of my favourite movies of all time. Not a big Steve Martin fan either, but Candy was great. Such a good movie.

He was so good on SCTV too as part of that amazing cast too. Most people from Toronto would agree, real treasure. but sadly many have never seen his earlier work before he hit it big.

He has such an impressive resume too.

 

[GymWolf]

Thank god they are using real footage and not lizzo acting as him.

 

[Chuck Berry]

Planes Trains and Automobiles is still my go to Thanksgiving movie and really showcased some range for Candy. Dude definitely could've done dramatic roles if need be.

Even his bit part in JFK is pretty memorable and he straight up looked like Dean Andrews

 

[Forsete]

Planes Trans and Automobiles always makes me choke up.

 

[Putonahappyface]

I'm a huge fan of John Candy. Uncle Buck or The Great Outdoors is probably my favourite film starring him.

 

[DeVeAn]

Uncle Buck and Great Outdoors, I have re-watched so many times. Great actor 100%.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Spaceballs, Planes, Trains, Automobiles and Uncle Buck. Triple gold comedies.

 

[Soltype]

Worth it just for the Digital Underground bit. And Prime Demi.

Same Song and Demi are the only things I ever remember from this movie

 

[12Goblins]

Not a lot of good things came from 80's hollywood, but John Candy was one of them. RIP legend

 

[Boo Who?]

Looking forward to this. John Candy was always great, even if the movie he was in, wasn't.

 

[RaptorGTA]

i think it really says a lot about the man. Its 2025...31 years since his death and so many still have such a strong feeling about him. It's not like he was in a hundred different high-end, big-name movies...but what he was in touched so many..he genuinely seemed like a nice guy....hell, I was young and I still remember finding out that he passed..i was sad. Honestly, probably one of the few 'celebrity deaths' that made me sad.

looking forward to seeing this.

 

[DaciaJC]

I knew him as a kid from Cool Runnings. Great movie, great actor. What a legend.

 

[Punished Miku]

Honestly thought most of his stuff was mid tier. Basically plays himself in every role.

I might watch this though and I'm sure he's a nice guy in real life. Can be interesting to hear about the behind the scenes stuff for sure.
