Just last year, I interviewed George for my upcoming book about John Candy‘s career, and he couldn’t have been kinder or more generous with his time.

He featured in a number of films in the 1980s but his 1st starring role was in "Planes, Trains & Automobiles", playing a goodhearted but annoying salesman opposite Steve Martin. I loved him in Uncle Buck too! Tragically he died in 1994, aged just 43. #JohnCandy

neutral · AI labelView post →If you have ever seen the classic movie "Stripes" from 1981, Brian Kilmeade gives the worst description of the film imaginable. Bill Murray is only one character in the film. It's an ensemble piece. How could you forget to mention John Candy and Harold Ramis?

neutral · AI labelView post →As funny as PLANES, TRAINS, & AUTOMOBILES is, after watching this clip of Steve Martin getting very emotional while talking about John Candy, it's easy to see why this movie also packs such an emotional punch.

Colin Hanks 🎬 The subject of this documentary is still one of the most beloved actors of all time and if you grew up watching him you felt the loss when he died at just 43 years old. Hanks and crew did a great job creating this touching tribute. #filmsky #moviesky

positive · AI labelView post →Planes, Trains and Automobiles (1987) dir. John Hughes 🎬 One of our favourite comedies of all time. John Candy and Steve Martin bring all the laughs and maybe some tears too, in this classic movie about patience, kindness and friendship. Happy #thanksgiving! #filmsky #cinema #movies

Walter Hill 🎬 Richard Pryor plays an over-the-hill baseball player who inherits $30,000,000 which he has to spend within 30 days in order to inherit $300,000,000. John Candy is perfect support in this fun comedy. #filmsky #moviesky #cinema
