Just watched Uncle Buck the other day, so great. He was incredibly good in everything I ever saw him in. Tragic that he was only 43 when he died: Hollywood seems tough on the funny fat man.

Suspect his cholesterol levels , blood pressure and weight would have been tough on him even if he were the polka king of Sheboygan.

He really was.  And there are a few John Candy movies I just didn't like (Summer Rental, Armed and Dangerous, Hot to Trot).  But even in those films, he played his characters with such genuine likeability.  

And what about his hot minute in JFK, doing a bang up job going out of his usual character range?

I saw this movie at…about 8 years old. Candy, Bacon, Rooker and the general N.O. Vibe did a number on me.

Fucking hell.  Summer Rental?  I think I watched that movie no fewer than 50 times as a kid.  Saw it again maybe 2 years ago and thought it held up.

Sorry fellas.  Summer Rental just didn't do it for me.  And I saw it in the theater the summer before sixth grade, so that kind of comedy usually appealed to me, but this one didn't.  But as I mentioned before, I still loved John Candy in it.
