A familiar trope in family films is that of a disgruntled father simply wanting his family to bond over a relaxing vacation that turns out to be anything but. Candy nailed this role in the late '80s hit, The Great Outdoors. Candy plays Chet Ripley, a family man who wants nothing more than to take his family on a camping trip. Everything seems to go...
In one of Candy's few animated roles, he lends his voice to Wilbur in the Disney sequel, The Rescuers Down Under. Wilbur is a dimwitted yet lovable albatross who serves as a companion to the titular Rescuers, as well as the main source of comic relief. The movie is notable for being the first film made completely digitally, which is no surprise con...

In the late eighties, Star Wars mania was at an all-time high. It only made sense that the hilarious master of parody, Mel Brookswould put his own twisted spin on it. Lucky for comedy fans, he brought John Candy along for the ride. Candy plays Barf, a Chewbacca spoof that is half man, half dog. Candy is surrounded by an all-star cast, yet he still ...
In the first Hughes/Candy collaboration, John's role was very minor, showing up in the third act. John plays a security guard named Lasky who has the unfortunate task of informing Clark Griswold (Chevy Chase) that Wally World is closed for renovations. Clark does not take this news lightly and forces Lasky to let the Griswold family in the park, an...
It makes all the sense in the world that John Hughes' most famous film features Candy, albeit in a smaller role.

Kevin's mother Kate (Catherine O'Hara) is willing to go to extreme lengths to get to her son, even getting a...
Of all of Candy's roles, Del Griffith from Planes, Trains & Automobiles is the one most fans point to as his best. The slightly irritating shower ring salesman joins a reluctant Neal Page (Steve Martin) as the latter tries to get home for Thanksgiving. Del is introduced as a nuisance to Neal's straight-man routine. As the film progresses, Del's lay...
The Blues Brothers was one of the first and most successful films based on a Saturday Night Live sketch. While Candy was never a cast member on SNL, he feels right at home with the comedians of the show, even though his role is far from the biggest of the film.

A comedian is probably the last thing that comes to mind for the Oliver Stone hit, JFK, yet one of the greats still makes an appearance. John's role is very small, practically a cameo, yet his rare dramatic performance is so good, it is one of the most memorable parts of the film. Candy plays a southern lawyer and completely steals the show when he...

- PLANES, TRAINS AND AUTOMOBILES (1987) Director and writer: John Hughes. Starring: Steve Martin, Edie McClurt. The innocent goofball goodness of Candy and the cynical hard-hearted stubbornness of Martin coalesce into comedy greatness in another holiday season must-see.
- ONLY THE LONELY (1991) Director and writer: Chris Columbus. Starring: Maureen O’Hara, Ally Sheedy, Anthony Quinn. Candy is Danny, a Chicago policeman who still lives with his demanding Irish mother, Rose (O’Hara), where off-duty life is split between her bingo games and an Irish pub.
- SPLASH (1984) Director: Ron Howard. Writers: Lowell Ganz, Babaloo Mandel, Bruce Jay Friedman. Starring: Tom Hanks, Daryl Hannah, Eugene Levy. Is it wrong to say that I enjoy this film more for the relationship between upstanding guy Hanks and Candy as his ne’er-do-well playboy brother rather than Hanks’ shy bachelor and Hannah’s sweet mermaid?
- UNCLE BUCK (1989) Director and writer: John Hughes. Starring: Macaulay Culkin, Tia Russell, Amy Madigan. Candy gets a rare lead role as a hapless mess of bachelor uncle who is more comfortable betting on horses than he is babysitting his grade-school niece and nephew and their disagreeable teen sister.
