Dogma strikes again
I'll miss him cause he did some outstanding movies in the 80's and that was back when I still liked movies. I'm also surprised so one has mentioned The Great Outdoors which is one of the best movies John Candy was in and a great film with Dan Akroyd.
True beauty exists in things that last only for a moment.
Current Mood: And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe. Maybe this year will be better than the last. I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself. To hold on to these moments as they pass...
It should be remembered he produced/wrote a lot more films than he directed, he stopped directing films after Curly Sue (which is his worst film by far) in 1991 which is a shame really. But of the films he did direct, Ferris Bueller, Uncle Buck and (especially) Planes, Trains and Automobiles are especially great - the latter is one of my favourite comedies with Steve Martin and the also sadly missed John Candy on top form. The bit where Steve Martin lets fly with a stream of f-words is hilarious.
"Excuse me Miss, do you like pineapple?"
Planes, Trains and Automobiles is a fantastic film and one of my favourite American comedies of that era. I liked the Breakfast Club but I didn't think it was amazing, however I did generally like his work and I'm disappointed to see that he has died. Though seeing this has made me realise how sadly missed John Candy is too.
Not my words Carol, the words of Top Gear magazine.
Pre Home Alone he was amazing. Once that giant turd of a movie hit though, well let's just say he died creatively long ago. Still, it is sad. RIP.
I will never be a memory.
As much as I hate to admit it I can connect with teen 80's movies. I can't help it. I was made in the 80's.
...
this is sad to me
RIP
ferris bueller is a life mantra
and breakfast club is uplifting
also weird science helped me grow up
