"No one didn't love John. John was exactly how you think he'd be." - Martin Short.
John Candy made every film he was ever in 100% better. There wasn’t any way you could dislike him.
I was in the Marine Corps when this came out. Stationed at Camp Pendleton, the wife and I went to a Blockbuster in Oceanside one night to rent a flick and there were two women literally fighting over the last copy of Uncle Buck. Pushing, shoving, neither of which would let go of the case. One of those moments you just can't forget.
Hahah that’s amazing!! If i wanted to comfort of Uncle Buck that night I’d also fight for it! 😂😂
Lol I can't for get Oceanslim as we referred to it in the 90's Ooh Rah 😄
@@ShanelleRiccio wow, I love your reflections about every detail. It's like seeing Kubrick in action, without the asperger temperament.
I'm more shocked there aren't any "What's Blockbuster?" comments. 😂
I worked as a delivery driver for a florist in Bel Air in 1990 and was thrilled when I had a delivery for John Candy. He actually answered the door himself and was as nice as you would expect. He was also one of the few (very wealthy) people who tipped me.
Fun fact, the same year Uncle Buck came out, Amy Madigan who played Chanice and Gaby Hoffmann who played Maizy appeared as mother and daughter in Field of Dreams with Kevin Costner
That's right!
This movie always completely rips me apart at the end, and I always get teary-eyed because it always feels like John is waving goodbye for real. We got another few films from him but we lost him so very early. Never been another actor quite like him. Instantly likeable no matter what antics he was up to in his films. Always and forever a John Candy fan.
You hit the nail on the head: there are no comic actors like John Candy, today. No big, affable slobs with hearts of gold. I wish he could have worked with Steve Martin again; their chemistry in 'Planes, Trains and Automobiles' really made that movie all that it is.
"Sorry about those bushes, I had no idea they would catch on fire like that"
Flashback to
"I had no idea those beer cans were going to blow like that"
You should watch “The Great Outdoors”. My favorite John Candy movie.
I second that!
Love the bear and steak scene beat parts hands down
@@BigB9778 so funny. I grew up wAtching it with my family while we vacationed in ocean city maryland, and summer rental too
The Old 96er.
Summer Rental is great.
More great John Candy: The Great Outdoors (with Dan Aykroyd), Summer Rental and Stripes (smaller role but still a great performance...Bill Murray & Harold Ramis starred). There is also Splash. He plays Tom Hanks' brother. It was one of Ron Howard's first directing jobs.
I was going to recommend The Great Outdoors. Not only is John Candy fabulous in it, Dan Aykroyd is incredible, I'm pretty sure that's Annette Bening's first movie role, and again, it's written by John Hughes, so I can't imagine that Shanelle wouldn't enjoy it. It's also one of my favorite childhood movies (my sister and I still gasp, "Big bear chase!" when we get out of breath, then laugh like hyenas).
@@oregonchick76 And the line 'go get yourself a spin cycle!'
Darryl Hannah is great in Splash! One of favorite movies of hers is Clan of the Cave Bear.
Brewster's Millions was great too
@@laurachamberlain6864 Oh, hell yeah. But that was more a Richard Pryor movie that featured John Candy than a collaboration, similarly to Stripes, just with more John Candy.
Please watch the John Candy movie "Who's Harry Crumb ?" from 1989 !
Shawnee Smith was really captivating in this.
"Candy was also slated to collaborate with John Hughes again in a comedy opposite Sylvester Stallone titled Bartholomew vs. Neff. Candy and Stallone were to have portrayed feuding neighbors."
I so wish this had been made, it sounds like it would have been hilarious.
Candy is beloved and has so many unforgettable characters, and is one of the most likable people in Hollywood. He could play the "every man" with heart, tenderness, silliness, and had great comedic delivery and timing. One of his underrated gifts is how well he could play supporting characters, having chameos and smaller roles, and often stole the movie/outshined the leads because he was so good.
The original script/shooting by Hughes was twice as long, and wished Hughes would've kept some of the scenes in the final cut. Of note is Mile's character arc, which is flushed out more as he doesn't have any friends in school and through Buck's lunches and other antics, Miles gains friends. He has a heart to heart moment in the film with Buck, which should've been kept in. Part of the reason I love this film is how Hughes portrayed how out of touch the parents are in their kids lives (Tia's rebelliousness and anger with moving the family away from friends/family, Miles having no friends, getting beat up, and quitting hockey, etc) and how Buck (the screwup Uncle that the family wants nothing to do with) is able to connect with the kids and form a bond their parents could not in only a matter of weeks. Buck's struggles (relationships, drinking, gambling, unemployment) and his pain are finally pushed the surface and brought to life through caring for the kids, which finally brought his maturation and tranformation that he was avoiding his entire life (and how it transformed the kids too). Great heartfelt scenes are when Candy is despairing when he drinks with the dog, and when he sees the wedding photo with his picture hidden/tucked underneath. Candy had a knack for feeling his pain and really caring about all the character's he portrayed. What a gift John Candy gave us.
yah, nicely said..... I think John went supernova when he did the mud wrestling scene in Stripes.....
but he had been crafting characters with future comedy gods for over a decade by then....
definitely no overnight success.... as Van Morrison once sang..... "he paid his dues in Canada"
nice to see another Candy fan and read some kind remembrances..... thx and have a Happier one eh.
Beautifully said. John Candy movies always make me smile and then cry like a baby whenever the credits role and i have to come back to the reality that took that great human being from us way too early. There will never be another actor like him.
If you love John Candy, watch Only The Lonely. He's Oscar-worthy.
There will be crying if she watches this movie.
To be fair, he had an amazing supporting cast... THE Maureen O'Hara and THE Anthony Quinn...
Yes, I really liked Only the Lonely.
No kidding. The guy wasn't just a big Canadian goofball. He could really act and give you a range of emotions from his performances. He was really underrated in, believe it or not, Cool Runnings, too.
I like that you actually do commentaries on the movies since you do have a film making background. It’s interesting knowing about the little things that go into these movies.
My favorite John Candy movie! I heard he was just as nice in person as he seems to be in the movies.
the ending always gets me emotional when he waves....I miss him
The fact that the situation that Buck rescued Tia from wasn't an "earth-shattering event" is very John Hughes. Hughes is a genius at exaggerating the minor things that happen in a teenager's life, and making them seem like the end-of-life events that they feel like to the person who is undergoing them.
Try "cool runnings" a great john candy movie
Yes!!! John was at the top of his game in COOL RUNNINGS👍😎
I remember thinking it was such a funny premise for a movie, then learning that it was loosely based on actual events, which makes it that much funnier. I say loosely based because apparently the original script was meant to be a serious sports drama, but the script had a bunch of problems and wound up getting completely overhauled to something a little more enjoyable.
I love that movie
Ya dead mon?
Cool Runnings, the movie of 3 lies: 1- the Jamaicans were welcomed with open arms, they weren't shunned. 2- what John Candy's character did, putting weights in his sled, is not a felony, it's a perfectly normal thing to do. 3- the best: John Candy's character is complete fiction.
As someone who saw this in the theater, I assure you the entire theater LOVED it! and applauded at the end! The focus was Candy. We will always love him. RIP John. He was the best.
Watch him in Who's Harry Crumb and Only the Lonely. Two completely different movies and great!!
Fun Fact: In Deadpool 2, there's a scene where Ryan Reynolds is reading "The Canadian Mounted", which is the same book Del Griffith is reading at the airport when he meets Neil for the first time. A homage to John Candy.
And they’re both Canadian
Oh heck yeah!!!
*small edit here* I'm just going to say, "just be you. Ppl will either enjoy your insights and personality, or not. Continue to comment, and watch for the first time, movies you want, with and without our input.
Be you, and we, your faithful, will also be here."
Spaceballs, Uncle Buck, The Great Outdoors, Armed & Dangerous, The Rescuers: Down Under, Summer Rental, Nothin But Trouble, Stripes, The Blues Brothers, Brewsters Millions, Who’s Harry Crumb, Only The Lonely, Splash, and Hot To Trot are all my favorite John Candy movies (and in this order too).
this movie was written by Hughes specifically for Candy thats why its so perfect for him
I just turned 40. This movie was a favorite of mine as a child. It is also while I cried a lot when I learned he died. Then uncle I always wanted.
the Uncle we ALL wanted
"The Rescuers Down Under", John Candy as Wilbur the Albatross. Still one of my favorites til' this day.
John Candy was the greatest. Every performance was great.
The car's bang is an EXTREME case of the engine backfiring.
You’re so cute. It’s great watching a commentary from someone who’s got an idea about filmmaking. Uncle Buck is such a classic. Another John Hughes cinematic gem.
The old pre-90's Candy movies were great, you can't really go wrong
there is no one like John Candy..that final freeze frame makes me cry. I miss him so much
John Candy was a once in 1000 years person. He was born on Halloween, and has that wonderful Halloween magic in his soul. He is sorely missed.
John Candy is one of my favourite actors. One of my favourite movie that he was in is “Only the lonely” with Maureen O'Hara, Ally Sheedy, Kevin Dunn and James Belushi. Yes it was a John Hughes production
I'll second that movie for the second time.....
how many times do you think Shanelle will cry?
we really need an office pool or something.....
I'm betting 30..... pick your number quick before someone else takes it!
@@JuandeFucaU There will definitely be tears if she watches that one.
I stole Candy's material one time and it was the biggest laugh I ever got. I was wearing a fedora (I know, I know, it was a different time and they were cooler?) and was on a bus heading to work. A guy had beef with me for some reason regarding a conversation I was having with my coworker. I was just trying not to get murdered, but he got off at the next stop after ranting at me. When he gets off and the door closes, I say "A lot of people hat this hat. The sight of it angers people." I'm sure the stress release of the jerk getting off the bus helped, but the whole bus just busts out laughing.
Thanks Mr. Candy :)
My brief encounter with John Candy. 1990. I was working as a valet and we were doing the 75th anniversary of Warner Bros on the lot. Big shindig. Everybody was in cars were parked and we were just hanging out when a limo pulls in. Before I could get to the door a man hops out and says does anybody have a cigarette I'm dying for a f****** cigarette. I said I do, he said right now you're the best part of my day. He hung out with us, smoked a cigarette then went into the party super late. He was a lovely man.
If you can find it check out "Armed and Dangerous". It's among one of my favorite John Candy movies.
Yes yes yes. Classic.
It's nice having "first time watching" in the title so that we know it is a first watch and not just commentary.
The Great Outdoors is another good one.
A wonderful movie John Candy is so missed. He had a mysterious magic to him that I'm not sure exists in movies anymore.
John Candy was & still is my favorite actor.
The mail slot scene was the inspiration for Home Alone. Oh and yes the exterior filming location was real and the same neighborhood as Home Alone and Ferris Bueller's Day Off!
The oldest daughter was Jean Louisa Kelly, who was on the show "Yes, Dear" and played Rowena in "Mr. Holland's Opus"
And Bug is Jay Underwood who peaked as a teen actor. He played the Human Torch in the first, low-budget Fantastic Four film which somehow is still the worst F4 film ever made.
Underwood also showed up in an episode of “West Wing,” and had an uncredited role in “The Adventures of Ford Fairlaine,” which is a criminally underrated movie.
Maybe we should suggest that she watch it..?
I love how the clapper lit up the entire apartment and the sign at Wrigley Field.
Everybody needs an uncle like John Candy.
Obviously you have to watch The Great Outdoors.
I liked the scenes with the raccoons
@@celsovera91 the bear scenes ;)
John Goodman is the closest we have to John Candy. Ed Oneill did "Dutch" and that was similar.
" Dutch " was a good movie.
John Goodman is really good in King Ralaf and monument men
@@doug292009 In " O Brother, Where Art Thou? " and " Monsters Inc. "
It should be noted that the quick question scene is a take off on the old "Dragnet " television show.
My favorite story concerning John Candy was how he indirectly helped start the San Francisco 49ers dynasty back in the 80s. The Niners were trailing the Bengals very late in the Super Bowl and the Niners had the ball. They were starting to panic. So they were in the huddle during a TV timeout (the downtime when the game is in commercial) Joe Montana looked around and pointed out John Candy and said "Hey, isn't that John Candy?" and that calmed down the players, the Super Bowl came back from its commercial break and they went back to the line of scrimmage and started what would become the game-winning drive to win the championship.
Shanelle I would be very interested in your reaction to Only the Lonely. It is my favorite John Candy movie, but I would not call it a typical Candy role. The movie is a straight up Romantic comedy with the twist that Candy's relationship with his mother( played by the great Maureen O'Hara) drives the plot not Candy's love interest. Great empathetic acting on his part but not big on the physical comedy, which makes it different from most John Candy movies. I think he is fantastic in Only the Lonely.
Only the Lonely number 6
says the idiot seconding every suggestion he sees
it's not like I'm voting for dead people
I'm pretty sure what I'm doing is legal.... I just like that movie too..... and I've got way too much time on my hands apparently.
I loved this film too. So touching.
"Who do we have that is a John Candy today?" We don't. That's the problem.
AGREE!!
They try to use Kevin James to fill John Candy rolls, but it doesn’t quite fit.
There is a “comfortable in my own skin” quality to all of Candy’s roles that can’t be duplicated.
Zach Galifianakis does not count
How about Jack Black? Not quite... 🤔
Had to watch this movie every single time the grandkids came over when they were small. I'm not mad about it.
Your channel as given me so much joy. Thank you. It has also given me a new appreciation of film because of all the amazing commentary you deliver. Especially when it comes to talking about how things are shot. I lost my mum a few months back and I often watch your channel whilst eating dinner. Thank you and keep up the great work. Uncle buck is fantastic. 😊
Brad from the UK
The three guys was his imagination just like the furnace in basement in home alone.
Even though they’re completely different movies, one movie you might review (or reminisce about) is Adventures in Babysitting. It’s Chris Columbus writing & directing a Hughes-style comedy.
I love how you explained the fast pasted question and answer type scenes. The execution was so perfect in that scene.
My favorite John Candy films:
Canadian Bacon. The president declares war on Canada to boost his ratings.
Delirious. He's a soap opera writer who after an accident, wakes up in his own soap opera.
Nothing But Trouble. I can't even give a synopsis this movie is so weird. But it has Chevy Chase, Dan Aykroyd and Demi Moore in it.
Please please do the great outdoors the candy man himself and dan akroyd sooo good lol
You might get a laugh from another John Candy movie called "Summer Rental".
That school corridor is in everything! 90210, My So-Called Life, Buffy, it's like there's only one school in America.
Uncle Buck is my all-time favorite John Candy movie. John Candy was & still is my favorite actor.
The Great Outdoors!!!!
Cheez Wiz still exists.
It's good to know it's your first time watching a movie, so we know/assume your reactions are genuine.
yr so on point about john candy. he was the greatest. when i think about his death a tear comes to my eyes. this movie rules and is the most rewatchable movie ever. there still is no one like john candy, no one.
Very nice Shanelle! One of my all time favorites. And of course, as is the case with most John Hughes movies, the filming locations are all like within a 10-mile radius of where I grew up.
Agree with the recommendation for "The Great Outdoors", along with the other suggestions I think I rambled off...including "Risky Business". :)
Yes I’m still exited for Risky Business! Happening soon!
@@ShanelleRiccio Exited, or excited!? lol Forgive me, I'm a degreed Journalist and writer. Actually, now that I think about it, it's not a movie, but I would LOVE if you would read my book (one of a few, but my main one), and review it. Whether in private to me, or publicly (I'll give you a cut, lol)
@@ShanelleRiccio The mechanics behind the car going boom is long story short called "Dieseling" or "running on"
A lot of cars had mechanical fuel pumps, so as long as the engine is turning it is pumping fuel,
Car engine can develop hot spots in the combustion chamber (carbon build up etc) which can become a source of ignition,
However the "ignition" isn't timed so it happens at the wrong time (combined with it being not as powerful ignition source),
And the car will run until either the combustion becomes too weak to turn the engine, or the engine back fires (hence the boom)
I hope that this helps :-)
It is also seen at the start of the movie "Loaded weapon 1"
@ circa the 1:00 mark

Thanks for doing this one, its one of my favorites. No one else has done this, so you have a monopoly. Joe Friday gag from kitchen table was great. I enjoyed your selection, thumbs up!
I remember really liking the 15 year old daughter at the time, but I was 18 myself, a brand new college freshman at UMR, and I saw it at a theater there.
We were a house full of John Candy fans for sure.
I saw it as a little kid with my family one Saturday night when we rented it on VHS. It was not long after it came out.
I love this movie! When I was a kid I used to call it “the big pancake movie”. I was so amazed by those pancakes when I was little. Lol🥞
the pancake didn't amaze me as much as..... that oven/stove/grill or whatever that appliance/equipment was, that cooked the big ass pancake.....
tell me you've got one or two of those in your kitchen?
this movie is mostly responsible for my son never get a normal pancake from me in his life.
thanks for the reminder and have a Happier one this year eh.
@@JuandeFucaU Your son is very lucky to have pancakes like that. Oh, and a dad, too. haha
Bless parents like you who do cool things like that for your son. Don't forget to introduce him to great movies, TV shows, and music.
@@LA_HA thank you for your kind words.... my son is now about Shanelle's age, loves great movies, TV, and music.... so my pancakes didn't do too much damage, I guess.
I'm not sure if it's a blessing or a curse.... to this day, my son's first thought when the subject of pancakes comes up is probably....
are they in they shape of Pikachu taking a pooh?
@@JuandeFucaU haha. You're very welcome.
Aww the scene where Buck says to the principal 'here'd a quarter, go downtown and have a rat gnaw that thing off your face' was edited out. I love that part lol
That part was humorous, but a little too on the nose. The series of Freudian Slips he kept making during the conversation was funnier.
@@brianstraight9308 All of it is excellent
@@brianstraight9308 No, it was on the chin.
I think after laughing at the mole stuff that got a smile from me and since it wasn’t a huge reaction I omitted it!
@@ShanelleRiccio fair enough
Back in the day we recorded movies onto blank VHS tapes, and could usually get three movies per tape. One of my favorites had “Uncle Buck”, “Blues Brothers”, and the often never mentioned “Armed and Dangerous”. School movies you must watch are “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off”, and“The Breakfast Club”. And you would love “Stand by Me”.
I miss John Candy so badly! One of the best actors ever!
There is no one, Chris Farley was the closest I can come up with. Another one gone too soon.
The teenage girl in The Great Outdoors with John Candy was the female lead in The Boy Who Could Fly, which was played by Bug, the boyfriend in this. Hashtag6degreesofjohncandy
I had fuzzy, loving memories of The Boy Who Could Fly from when I was a kid, so when I watched it last year for the first time in forever, I was surprised to find that they explicitly drove the point home that he was autistic. Of course I had no idea what autism was in 1986, and that's probably why I didn't remember it, but addressing that topic was still super rare for that time.
I had a coworker long time ago...as big a movie buff and John Candy buff as I! Plus he could have been Candy's twin brother! We would randomly throw out Candy's lines from this, Planes, Stripes, Volunteers, and other Candy's movies! The" Buck Melanoma" line from this, and the card gambling line from Stripes, always killed!
John Candy is one of the very very very few celebrity deaths that still makes me tear up to this day. Him, Kidd Kraddick, and Christina Grimmie still tear my soul to pieces to this very day.
Echoing all the recommendations for The Great Outdoors here. I loved John Candy so much.
this is the movie that got Macaulay Culkin the audition for Home Alone
This movie WAS the audition. Huges wrote the movie for Culkin.
R.I.P. John Candy and a young Mulkey Culkin who ended up becoming agoraphobic. He's better now though
I can't think of anyone quite like John Candy, with his combination of talent and accesible humanity thrn and certainly not now.
I'll add to thumbs up for The Great Outdoors as another great Candy performance -that's another John Hughes written and produced, and directed by Howard Deutch the future Mr. Lea Thompson. Also, for a slightly different performance (a little more adult) from him check out Only The Lonely from 1991. Which was written and directed by Chris Columbus and produced by Hughes and in addition to Candy has Ally Sheedy, James Belushi, Maureen O'Hara and Anthony Quinn as well as Macaulay and Kieran Culkin. It's another Chicago based film
Is that the music from the Neverending Story playing in the background at the begining of the video. If not, you still get a like! Great movie! And you love John Candy, then consider watching The Great Outdoors. 😁👍
My second favorite of his after P, T & A
It is
Great movie.
The music is a royalty free track from epidemic sound! Might link it in my description box-lots have asked! I’ll have to watch The Neverending Story and see!
@@ShanelleRiccio Do see. It's from it
I wish there were films made today with mass appeal and had quirky characters like this and had a bit of a hard edge to it.
Things were sweater and kinder in the 80s.
You know uncle buck, the great outdoors, really reminded me of how my family acted too. Regular, genuine people, that's why John candy was so good. Funny, heartfelt, and genuine!
The three guys in the mail slot was supposed to be “in the child’s mind”. This is what sparked the idea for Home Alone.
I can't remember where I was when I saw it first, but I know, much to my surprise, my mom loved Uncle Buck. I think it might have been one of her favorite movies.
Did you know there was an Uncle Buck TV show?? Chris Farley came as close as anyone I know to being on the same level of big loveable buffoon with a heart of gold. Still WAY different actors though. I just don't think John Candy is in any way replacable.
There were TWO shows. The first starring Kevin Meaney and then a more recent one with a black family. Neither show made it past the first season.
Don't put too much energy into the negative comments. Some people think just because you can speak freely, you should. Never mind class or tact. It doesn't exist to them.
*burp*
All of his movies felt like he must have been a student in our school in the 80’s John Candy charisma and love-ability alway made it feel real and a little sad you couldn’t help but root for him .. hard to explain him really what he of a kind
The scene where Mulkey Culkin character is asking Uncle Buck all the questions is very "Dragnet" style.
The song in her background, is it from Neverending Story?
yes
It’s a royalty free song on Epidemic Sound! I thought it sounded super 80s. I might link it in the description box. A few have asked!
@@ShanelleRiccio Thanks!
th-cam.com/video/lCRlgxoTsQs/w-d-xo.html
A fluffy man who’s funny you say. Gabriel Iglesias comes to mind.
I wonder if Shanelle used that word in order to get someone to mention Iglesias?
Wow, Shanelle. You really showed your true colors when you called that actor "Frankenstein's monster." You must've been a real joy to know in High School.
Need my own notepad next time to keep track of all the questions asked of us to be commented on. The one I really focused on was is there a current day John Candy. I feel like there are actors who can capture what he did for a role in a movie. But only on rare occasions, no one could replicate what he did in movie after movie, role after role. As a side note, after watching this one, I now have the strongest urge to go and binge Camp Candy. Might have to sail the seven seas of the internet to find that one.
I dont even have to watch this is my favorite movie from the 90s so you get a like. Belushi rip John Candy RIP Chris farley RIP
Not to insult Belushi, but I never really found him as funny as Candy or Farley. Now, his brother James has made quite a few movies I like... "Curly Sue" and "Real Men" spring to mind.
@@Hiraghm hey i did really find him as good either but he did inspire both Candy and Farley Both said they wanted to be like Belushi. Both did allot of coke like Belushi and both died just like Belushi
SUUUCH a good flick! I miss John Candy as well. It's not so much that there isn't a modern comedian working today that could fill that type of role, but moreso that Hollywood doesn't make films like this anymore. There's no one to fill that role, because the landscape has changed so drastically. I wish that Hollywood would start making films like this again. Movies like: Plains Trains and Automobiles, The Great Outdoors, Grumpy Old Men, BIG, Home Alone, and more. Where are all the heart felt, high production value family films? I want them back. I miss movies like this so much.
Oh I LOVE this movie! All of Hughes movie are great! RIP to John Candy ❤️ he truly was a natural and I just loved his spirit in this movie.. he was so good natured and I miss him❤️. I never get tired of this movie!🔥🔥😂😂😂
Part of the reason John Candy was such a great comedic actor is that he and a lot of comedic actors of his era started out in Second City. Second City is an improvisational comedy theater originally in Chicago and later Toronto and Los Angeles.
Alums include Bill Murray, Gilda Radner, John Candy, John Belushi, Dan Aykroyd, Del Close, Eugene Levy, Catherine O'Hara, Nia Vardalos, Colin Mochrie, Ryan Stiles, Mike Myers, Steve Carell, Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Chris Farley, Stephen Colbert, Aidy Bryant, and many others.
The first _Saturday Night Live_ cast practically came straight from Second City. The Toronto version had a TV series, _Second City TV_ , and you can find episodes in TH-cam (probably in violation of copyright).
John Hughes had an affinity for Second City alums, which is why he could get Candy for _Home Alone_ .
I strongly recommend _Second City TV_ . You can see some of these actors very early in their careers, and how they were honing the skills that would make them so funny later in their careers.
I love the part when he says that he said he loved Shanice for shocks. It's like a double joke, because the shocks on his car are completely worn out.
John Candy was the best. One of my favorites of all time.
john candys silw and wavw beeaks my heart and makes me cry every time
The cornflakes tv watching moment when Buck is asleep and scratches the dog 🐕 thinking he’s scratching his own leg 😂
