  • Amazing. Miss John Candy so much. Wish I got the chance to meet him. Sounds like a wonderful man.

  • I don't understand too much when they sing "Power to Believe" what is it supposed to mean? I mean is something supposed to give you strength to believe in something?

  • Why is this unlisted???

  • I can't believe a film critic said at the time this film came out that it had a poor soundtrack! One of the best film soundtracks ever and used with great effect.

  • R.I.P John Candy. One of the best comedians of all time. He was so kind and funny in real life too. ):

  • this song sounds like in the air tonight by phil collins

  • Only if all the world leaders would watch this movie then this video. We wouldnt have greed, corruption, or death.

  • Happy Thanksgiving everybody!

  • Yes. You have a heart with open eyes TowManSKS. 30 likes is a good sign of that.

  • god bless every del griffith out there

  • cry everytime i think about this movie song n john candy =D

  • This movie wears many masks. It makes you want to laugh, it makes you want to cry, maybe even makes you want to strangle someone. But I firmly believe that in terms to John Candy's memory, this movie is so dear because it called on talents and emotions that he hardly portrayed in any other film.

  • FREAKIN AWSOME. The music, the movie. Perfect. Love it

  • I was 16 years old when this song was released. I am now 40 years old, but the emotion still remains. It's one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.

  • "When the heart of a man is broken....Give them the power to believe"

  • This song is great and john candy and steve Martin are Great.

  • This song makes me cry everytime...

  • I've been watching this moving since 1987,and its still as funny as the first time i saw it!!!

  • @chess1458

    Same here!

    Every year me and my family are watching this movie....it's a kind of thanksgiving-tradition... ;-)

  • I actually really like this tune with the singing, Dream Academy always leaves me feeling comfortably cold.

  • I always like this song in this movie. Remember when John Candy took his socks off on the plane? Haha, He was naturally funny, nothing was rehearsed. Like Bill Cosby, you can be humorous without being vulgar. Thanks for posting.

  • I like this.

  • I'm usually very good with names but i'll be damned if I haven't forgotten yours!

    I read it aloud to myself everytime I watch this vid :)

  • how could anyone not like this?

  • i love this tune. Its so haunting, yet so sensual

  • Miss U Mr John Candy! Learned today that Michal Gough (Alfred - butler in the first Batmans) passed away yesterday aged 94. RIP both of you!

  • I've been waiting all my life to find who this song is by and i'm so happy now i've found it.

  • Just watched it.....i dont get it...no speical effects, explosions, no naked skanks....yet kept me completely drawn in. Its a shame movies like this are a dying breed.

  • @TowManSKS This was the magic of John Hughes. It is sad to see movies like this get replaced by overused cliches, remakes, & just plain copies of good films like these. I still say Due Date was basically a crude copy of this movie, which makes me disappointed in the film makers of today.

  • @TowManSKS

    nothing ever dies, it takes a break, it transforms into something else, it always returns.

  • @TheCapBerry lets hope so. the world needs more people like John and some of these new upcoming stars could take a few lessons from how well John was loved and admired.

  • 5 people dont have the power to believe

  • He truly was a great guy. Always made me laugh still does to this day. I am quite certain that everyone who was fortunate enough to meet him and know him personally feel their lives have been blessed.

  • @SirDudeism - Amen

  • Comment removed

  • such a deep message, this song reflects life, I am now crying

  • @LocalRailfan - Me too

  • Any other video on youtube wouldnt make my cry, but each time I watch this video I'm break down and cry.

  • @Spyda0Jones - I agree

  • i have comment so many times about candy in different videos

    but i can never stop do it.!!man i miss you you.

    you left us to earley.have fun where you are.thx for your movies!!!!!

    peace

  • @shankalanka - I liked your comment

  • I must have seen this film 30 times. Such a classic, funny yet with a deeper message within.

  • @lemonjellies hi i just have the same as you,this is my all time hugh,candy,martin movie.this movie is so sad and funny at the same time.my tradition the past 8 years is to watch this movie to myself days up to thanksgiving, even i do no not live in the usa :))

    tried so many times to make my wife to watch this,just once! but she could not feel the magic !!  :O(

  • this movie proves never judge someone until you get to know them.

  • @Spyda0Jones So true.....

  • when del said he is homeless my heart sank because i feel for the guy. hes homeless and he found a new friend and he's scared that he is driving him away.

  • I love the scene from the movie when Neil and Del get pulled over by the state trooper. He says 'what the hell are you drivin"? Del respondes "I know it doesn't look like much officer, but its still runs and hey what do you know the radio still works":D

  • Nice job on the video.

    Great movie, John was special.

  • Much better without lyrics... Drum machine is so Collin'sh.

  • @theGroveMan Neil Page had Rolex and Del Griffith had Casio

  • R.I.P Mr candy... You good sir... Were comedy gold... You will be missed...

  • @grove man casio?

  • omega

  • john candy is a legend

  • Another child of the 80s checking in. Love the movie, love the song, love everything about this. Favorited.

  • "and when the lies are spoken

    give endurance to the weak

    and when the heart of a man is broken

    give the power to believe"

  • A Beautiful Song and a Beautiful Movie. R.I.P. John Candy and John Hughes.

  • Each time when i listen to this heavenly song i start with crying and tears are tumble from my face. I feel like a child again.

    This is such wonderful.

  • Jessica, you did an excellent job with this video clip. Great song. Great transitions too.

    They don't make them like John Candy or John Hughes any more. Great men in their own right. Great movie as well.

  • To the 4 people that gave this a thumbs down. Enjoy your Seth Rogan films...

  • rest it peace john. They dont make movies or music like this anymore

  • does anybody else think that due date is just a rip-off of planes, trains and automobiles

  • it shows us all that in moments of anger we all think we have problems, we meet people who seem to have fun with life while beneath the skin theyre cying more than us,in this case dell had no home.

  • @MrHellohel lovely comment and i agree

  • beatiful song,this summarises joh n candy in words

  • ..RIP John Candy.. best thanksgiving movie

  • I have looked for this song about 20 years long, now I found it - thanks so much!

  • god this song and clip makes me so sad, its so weird i miss someone so much and i never had the plessure of meeting..would have given everything i have to had gone on their road trip...i bet dale griffiths would have sold me a thousand curtain rings before the trip ended!!!!i miss u so so soooo much john candy, u my friend are my hero, with much respect from Australia

  • @newyblood - I understand your feelings.

    Please look in your local Australian local community and you will find, some regular, everyday man with a heart of gold like Dell Griffiths/John Candy - he's there, just need to be recognized and loved.

    God bless.

  • One of my favourite Thanksgiving movies...God how I miss John Candy!

  • 50-1:10, how sad :( Well, at any rate, this is one of my 2 favorite Thanksgiving themed movies (the other is "Dutch").

  • This is so wonderful!!!  Thank you for this... I`m posting the link to my FB :)

  • Well made video. Such a great song, and John Candy was such a great actor.

  • John Candy you will be greatly missed;)

  • nice fades

  • R.I.P. John Candy: Taken far too soon always made me laugh

    R.I.P. John Hughes: Your movies were just awesome

    There will never be another John Candy or John Hughes

  • steve martin is pretty hot in this movie....i am sure i sound weird saying that. great movie, love it and many other hughes movies.

    rip john candy and john hughes.

  • There is nothing that will top this movie. This was a classic :) <3 Steve Martin and John Candy made a pair... :) RIP John Candy

  • @Tubeghost... What you said about everything prior to (and especially including) "moving mountains within ourselves..." is one of the most profound, spontaneous statements I've ever read. You are extremely wise beyond your years, from what I can tell. God bless...

  • John would have been 60 on October 31. I will never forget the day he died March 4, 1994 - at the gas station when the news came on the radio...one of the best.

  • John Candy one of the best unaffected hilarious comedians ever! R.I.P. Gone but not forgotten!!! =°(

  • Years ago, I would have told you I preferred the instrumental. But now I really have been stirred by the lyrics of this song. This is my own take, but the main character in the song's mistake was becoming fixated with the power OF belief, but did not realize that the real power you possess is the power TO have faith. Once you do that, it's nearly unshakable. But if you rely on the power to move mountains and fail you become dispirited. The mountains to move are within.

  • Can you upload this again, but this time just the instrumental?

  • Nicely done. Great story, great way to get you to think about what is really important in life and sometimes what is not. Great song as well - which is how I wound up here.

  • Aw man I miss John Candy and he died when I was only  4 :(

  • @MichaelMorbius4ever when John Candy died, I was only 2 months old! R.I.P. John Candy.

  • amazing track!

  • Well-done video to a very well-done film. Rest in peace, SIR John Candy and SIR John Hughes (they ought to be posthumously knighted).

  • this is one of my favorite songs ever also a very great movie <3 brings back some good memmories R.I.P John Candy<3<3 and John Hughes <3<3

  • Thank you for this song Jessica

  • This is a classic Planes Trains and Automobiles when ever I watch it, its always a great movie RIP JOhn Candy

  • To anyone watching this who is, let's say 25 and under, it was a truly sad day when John Candy died. I cried so hard. I was old enough to remember (I was 13) and no celebrity death has hit me as hard since. I had been saddened, but not terribly shocked. I had seen footage of his on ET just two weeks earlier, and he was ENORMOUS. Rest in Peace, John.

  • @MIKESOWELL I've had the same reaction. I am older than you, I think I've seen every John Candy movie and I still feel like a piece of me is missing and will not ever come back. Thanks for putting it in words so well. God Bless You John

  • @MIKESOWELL 25 and under? Wow, I'm some years older than that, and while I probably only misted up a bit, I STILL feel the loss of John Candy and I grew up just old enough to understand some of the humor on SCTV and of course, his great movies. There are some deaths that hit you, though. John Candy just seemed like a genuinely decent human being and a comic genius, it's hard to take a loss like that. We still have Lindsay Lohan though. *smacks face*

  • chevy chase, steve martin, john candy 80's and 90's were so great.

  • @davorich78 so so true!! I miss those years :'(

  • @davorich78 Amen! :D

  • soooo god damn sad..im 25 year old male from australia and would give anything to shake john candy's hand......i own a copy of this and never get sick of it,i wish i was on their road trip, would have had a blast and come home with no money and a whole heap of debt,but it would be worth it..........cheers for putting this up

  • wow well put together great movie and awesome actor.

  • How in the world are people still "guessing at the name/artist of the song" used here, when it's IN THE FREAKING TITLE? Wow...just...wow.

  • John Candy NR 1

  • This isn't Phil Colins or Genesis?

  • @ToxicOdiousOne Ugh No. Phil has a very distinct voice.

  • very emotional song. Made the "I like me" speech really powerful.

    RIP John Candy

    Best comedian to ever grace this earth.

  • john hughes incorporated some the best 80's music ever made

    

  • I think this movie is in the top five of funny movies ever. For me is the 1st. I have to recognize that I'm an addicted of this.

  • damn a good song, from a damn good movie

  • 80's music rocked! being an x-generation, dont tell no one!

  • @TowManSKS I totally agree! I was born in 1985 I am a y-generation guy, but I behave and act like a generation x person! I am ashamed of the latter years of the y-generation. X-Generation things make me feel better as a person. That is why I am obsessed with the 80s! It was a much better time period to live and be in, not like today.

  • Some roles people were born to play. Del Griffin is John Candy. Thanks John for nailing a great character.

  • It just makes me sad that I was never able to meet either Mr. Hughes or John Candy. I truly believe that if I had met them I would have been a much better human being. All of their projects made me laugh so hard R.I.P Mr. Candy and Mr. Hughes. You are making angels and God laugh their socks off.

  • There's a slight change in keys here compared to the instrumental.

  • lets see.

    john candy is legend R.I.P

    john hughes is another legend R.I.P

    steve martin said this is hi favorite own movie which i agree more.

    wish candy & hughes still alive they gave us memories :(

  • Yeah I miss John Candy he was so funny. :(

  • John Candy...............is so great........RIP

  • R.I.P. John Candy! loved your movies like Planes, trains and atoumobiles and cool runnings. kiss the lucky egg lol!! may god be with u

  • I thought this was an instrumental.

  • Movies aren't like this anymore.

    They made you laugh and made you cry at same time.

    I dont see anything like this nowdays.

    Well, this movie always remind me of my girlfriend, when she died long time ago.

    We were having a bad time when I watched this movie, then I realized how much I needed her.

    Oh well, like I was saying, I really liked this movie and actor cast were great.

    Both guys know how to really work in their characters.

  • @RazielFallenAngel

    hey... I hope you find the peace your looking for.

  • @RazielFallenAngel just support great, Gentile movies/music/art whenever you can find it in any age.

    John Hughes, John Candy - really great.

    And American Thanksgiving is great.

    $*#@@# cultural marxism - it's perfectly OK for us to celebrate Thanksgiving and Christmas in our country.

    This is our country.

  • @RazielFallenAngel This song makes me cry like a stupid little kid. It's a great emotional tearjerker. It does invoke sadness, but Mr. Candy was a great actor and will always be missed. Thank's John, for being the big man you were. It does remind me of my ex too, and I'll say thanks boo, for being a good woman when needed the most.

  • Does anybody remember the music that was playing when Neal and Del were on the train? The same music is reprised later in the movie without the drums (after their rental car burned up) at the second motel. My dad said that he remembered hearing that music on Miami Vice. Can anybody else confirm this?

  • @bildo1977  Modigliani

    Performed by: Book Of Love

  • @bildo1977 I think that you are looking for Modigliani

    Performed by: Book Of Love

  • @oingoboingoalive Yes! That's it! Thank you very much! :D

  • @oingoboingoalive By the way, do you know where I can find that piece without the drums, you know, the part that was playing at the second motel?

  • I don't think you can get tired of this movie. I have seen it more times than I can count and I am down to watch it again any time.

  • This is such a wonderful video. You are a very talented and tasteful individual for make this and sharing it with the rest of the world. I'm sure John Candy and John Hughes Families are just as proud of this work, as they are up there. :-)

    "That ought a buff right out"

  • steve at 1:55.....i like the way it looks but im not sure why

  • Why did you kiss my ear? Why are you holding my hand? Where's your other hand? Between two pillows... Those aren't pillows!

  • "So.. how about that Bears game last week, huh?" lol

  • yeah, hell of a game. hell of a game.`bears got a great team this year going all the way. eeeohh

  • Saw this for the very 1st time last night. I remember the TV spots from back in 1987. Dang; why did it take me 23 years to finally see it? Ranks right up there with Midnight Run! Gave me a whole new appreciation for Mr. Candy - so moving. I downloaded this song, going to send it to a friend, and also order the Those Aren't Pillows Edition. Awesome montage -thanx!

  • it really touches me everytime I watch. This movie will always be a classic. Steve martin and John candy are fantastic. Will always rememember it in my heart. ty 4 this.

  • This song is so powerful, I am pretty manly but this makes me cry.....lol

  • Good job posting this... But i wish it was an instrumental only, not saying the acapella's bad.

  • I have watched this movie dozens of times and any excuse to watch it again i will. It is in its own way a beautiful movie. It should be up there with the best of em. End of.

  • YOU'RE GOING THE WRONG WAY!!!

    I can NEVER get tired of that scene. NEVER.

    R.I.P John Hughes

    R.I.P John Candy

  • I Miss John Cany So Much He was such an amazing actor so funny, A legand. Miss Ya John Rest in Peace!

  • great movie, great song, great upload :)

  • wow thanks for uploading this jessica! been watching this movie now for 20 years and it never gets boring, a true classic comedy with great acting. great song thanks again

  • agreed the best movie ever made i could watch it over and over !

  • Everytime this movie was on tv i watched it with my family,I ´ve got this movie on dvd and watch it from time to time. I love this movie and espacially the end where Neil takes Dal to his home, they become friends even if they are totally different.I liked Dal from the first moment. this movie is so heart-warming. John Candy and Steve Martin are brilliant actors. This is one of the best movies ever made. Nothing compared what´s coming out today.

  • What can I say. This movie has been watched in my home ever since it was available on DVD. It's a Thanksgiving tradition to watch it every year. Thanks Jessica for posting this. Watching this makes me emotional.

    FIrst I'd like to say that you are dearly missed John Candy. You always made me laugh when things were not so great. You gave us the best. There will never be another you my friend. I hope that you are resting well Del Griffith.

  • So Very True!

  • Thanks for finally getting this posted!

  • Danke John Candy

  • what a great job pairing the song to the movie. I have never tired of this haunting tune.Thanks for sharing !!

  • John Candy is one of Canada's  national treasures.

  • As he should be.

    I really miss him. :(

  • @PlacentaPudding Ya he was just such a man full of life and laughter. Love all of his movies.

  • the greatest holiday movie...

  • Yeah, complete with angelic keyboards.

  • What a powerful song this is!

    R.I.P. John Candy <3

    R.I.P. John Hughes <3

  • The role of the "nice guy" must have come very easy to John Candy...he didn't have to do any acting . John Hughes' movies may be trademarks of the 80's, but are some of the best of all time. R.I.P. Mr. Candy and Mr. Hughes .

  • Comment removed

  • @squabs217 You're absolutely right.... Some of the more unscrupulous people in the business took advantage of Candy because he was so friendly and trusting and kind. Shame on them; good for HIM for being what's right.

  • rest in peace John Candy. there will never be an actor so great, amazing, loved, funny and truely talented as you were. i will always miss you.

  • Great movie

    John Candy R.I.P.

    - Date of Birth

    31 October 1950, Toronto, Ontario, Canada

    - Date of Death

    4 March 1994, Durango, Mexico (heart attack)

    - Height

    6' 2½" (1.89 m)

    - John Candy is one of Canada's greatest, and funniest, character actors. His well-known role as the big hearted buffoon earned him classics in Uncle Buck (1989) and Planes, Trains & Automobiles (1987). His career has handed him some dry spells, but Candy always rebounded.

  • What about Cool Runnings??

  • Very funny movie, here's one of my favorite lines;

    Sanka Coffie: Feel the rhythm! Feel the rhyme! Get on up, its bobsled time! COOL RUNNINGS!

  • @Prakorn It's a movie about Jamaicans who become a bobsled team and go to Canada. It's pretty funny.

  • @Videocreatorgod

    yes I know that movie;)
