It seems to me that though Candy was very talented he was also in ALOT of very bad pictures. I can hardly think of a picture he was in that was good except The Blues Brothers and then he was just a small part.

But the pictures he starred in were generally pretty bad. My opinion of course.

I liked him in Only The Lonely. It was sad and a different role for him.

Uncle Buck and Stripes were my favorite JC roles, but you can't forget his work in "Who's Harry Crumb". It was a silly movie, but hysterical all the same!

PTA, Uncle Buck, Only the Lonely... John Candy was no Bobby DeNiro, but, he had a great big heart that showed through in his roles... I think Hollywood is missing that heart right now, as we all do!

We miss you John Candy!
