Thank you for posting this. Terrific comedic actor, Planes, Trains and Automobiles Laugh out loud funny and heartwarming at the same time. I can not imagine a better co-star to Steve Martin in that movie. I mean it's epic-awesome. Some people only get 43 years to leave a mark on Earth and some manage to make the most of it. Thank you John Candy.
Is John Candy not allowed to have clips of his funniest moments strung together without music over them on youtube? No offense, I'm just having such a hard time finding what I thought should be an unbelievably easy thing to find!
Though "youtube search" is absolute sh!t compared to 2 years ago, having said that!!!
John was great. I laugh just at the sound of his laughter...he didn't even have to say anything funny. An awesome human being and sadly taken from us too soon. RIP John, I will always cherish your movies.
I was about 11 and helping my Dad in the garage, when I heard a man on the radio say John Candy passed away. I remember it was one of the first time I cried out of pure sadness. I grew up watching John and he really did seem like all our uncle.
this was great!! I didn't find until I put my own tribute on and this was on the related videos. Wow, all the tributes to the great man! That is so cool. He deserves all praise heh.
Nice tribute, but John's best stuff was really from the early days on SCTV. Johnny LaRue was his legacy, and he'll always be the best Beaver next to Jerry Mathers.
RIP Big Guy, you brought a lot of joy to our world.
i know what this homeboy was one of the great actor ever and funny most of the movie that he made were sooo good even up till these dayz much love and respect ROYAL-G
In the last couple of days I was feeling that I wanted to see John Candy movies like "Only the lonely" and "Cool Runnings" is hard to know that all that talent is gone.
a really cant believe he is dead btw i know i didn't read much about him but most films he was funny as could be am shocked n sad now a thought he was still alive
I don''t see how anyone could not like John Candy. Just a truly funny guy and a class act off the screen as well. Great Video. I must go watch Uncle Buck now
Too bad he had to go so soon... I wonder if his career would have even been better if he were still around. I wonder if he would have made an even bigger mark.
ive been a john candy fan as long as i can remember, and today is the 15th anniversary of his death, fitting for me to find this on here! the second to the last photo of him, the 'uncle buck' goodbye, is my favorite picture of him, hands down. thank you for making this, it was lovely!
Same here, I wanted to put it in there kind of like a goodbye to all of us. I'ts hard to believe it has been 15 years..I still remember the day I found out he had died like it was yesterday.
John, you were a treasure and missed by so many people. Thank you for all of the laughs you gave us over the years and continue to give us.....you left a powerful legacy. Rest in peace.
Thank you for putting this wonderful tribute together JohnCandyFans. 5 stars.
As a kid growing up in the 80's I saw a number of his films - Armed and Dangerous, Uncle Buck, Planes Trains and Automobiles etc. He was a genuinely nice and incredibly funny guy. Whenever I want to feel good and lift my spirits.....I stick on one of his classic films. Nice tribute video.....
:( cant belive i never new u when i was young :(............John Candy is one of the best actors of all time..even though he was Candian (only jokin) love u John R.I.P
Has anyone seen that clip, on YouTube, that has that classic John Candy SCTV skit, where he played the drag queen "Divine", and he flys into a room, knocking everything over? If you've seen it, would you please type that video link, here? Thanks! I thought it was hilarious.
Whenever I think of John Candy, I always see this wonderful man with a huge beaming smile on his face, he always just seemed to be happy, and always lightened things up. My favourite characters he ever played was the wonderful Del Griffith in Planes,Trains and Automobiles, and of course that other lovable rogue, Buck Russell in Uncle Buck. A big man with a big heart and a big smile, who is greatly missed to this day. God love ya John!
so sad!!! i keep crying i can't control the tears....i just bought summer rental classic film!! miss him SO much!! so so so sad!! thanx for showing tribute to him!!!
Perfect song, perfect tribute. The world misses him, I miss him so much. What a lovely, funny, great man. Scouse, what a blessing to have known him and his family.
o god why did you have to take the best actor ever?its awful how he died but fortunately he made many movies so we can watch them and remember this amazing guy i wish you were still alive i ll miss you forever john you will always be in my heart LOVE CANDY
one of the best days I ever has was to meet John and his wife rose ...he came into our flower shop to order some flowers for a friends wedding ....they came in many times he always called me Scouse (I am from Liverpool) the saddest day of my life was looking after Rose and her mum doing the flowers for Johns funeral .....God rest big guy ! I for one will never forget you !
We are fortunate to have witnessed this Mans wonderful talent in our lifetime. Thank goodness we have all those films he made to remember, laugh and cry to. I first saw him in Armed and Dangerious - since then I was a fan. RIP John.
I love him on Planes Trains and Automobiles when their in the car driving on the wrong side of the road and he's like "how do they know were going?" and then yeah just buff it out part thats hillarious its so hard to realize he's gone
I love John Candy. He was a real great person, whom I miss very much. You Canadian's have a few good singers, but I can't remember their names. The boy who played Dr. evil is also super.
Thank you for posting. I did a tribute to John Candy too. Let me know too what you think. John Candy is very much missed, made me laugh loads. Love Starrydaze :)
This made me cry. Excellent tribute. I really miss John Candy. I have a lot of his work in my collection (laser disc and DVD). Good choice of using "The Promise" by When in Rome for a background song. *thanks
You are very thoughtful to pay such a great tribute to wonderful John. He always made me smile and many times double up laughing. I loved Uncle Buck and I confess that I teared up at the end of Trains, Planes and Automobiles. However I balled my eyes out when JC died,so unfair. Could I trouble you for the artist and title of the song.
Thank-you for your feedback. I am glad you like the tribute. This has been the only website where I have found such a great following of John Candy fans!! It is awesome!
I have been wanting to go visit myself. I was sad to learn that his crypt is so high. Luckily I am tall. I am going to try and drop by there as soon as I can. Thanks for your comment!
I love Chris Farley also! It is unfortunate! SOme of the best comedians were big, and the best are now gone! Thanks for sharing, I am glad you like the video:)
