I'm going Planes (but I'm still struggling)

This swings it,

"You wanna hurt me? Go right ahead if it makes you feel any better. I'm an easy target. Yeah, you're right, I talk too much. But I also listen too much. I could be a cold-hearted cynical like you, but I don't like to hurt people's feelings. So you go right on and think what you like about me. But I'm not changing. I - I like me. My wife likes me. My customers like me. 'Cause I'm the real deal. Whatcha see is whatcha get."

Bless you John Candy.

I also just read the wikiwhatty for Roseanne because somebody mentioned it.

[Gingerman]

He was in Stripes as well,always remember the mud wrestling scene with him in it.

 

[Badgers]

Planes, Trains & Automobiles and Uncle Buck are both great.
I voted for The Great Outdoors though

He was not the lead but The Blues Brothers and Brewster's Millions were also really good films.

A funny rape scene! Gotta be unique

It wasn't a rape scene. She thought he was shagging the neighbour, not raping her.

He was in a lot of decent comedies, wasn't he?

Shame on anyone for not voting Spaceballs!

There are a couple of bits in this film.

 

[The Octagon]

Acting-wise, I thought he held his own in JFK.

But for pure enjoyment, I have to go with Cool Runnings.

 

[Upchuck]

Uncle Buck always makes me smile. I like the bit where he is cooking in the kitchen

 

[souljacker]

Stripes!

 

[Lea]

I thought that he was really good in Splash.

 

[Melinda]

Stripes!

I loved Stripes.

Uncle Buck's on ITV3 now

Went for Uncle Buck over PT&As as its more his film & PT&As, although excellent, is spoiled by the really cheesy ending between Steve Martin & his wife.
Uncle Buck can lighten up even the darkest of days.
