Uncle Buck is usually everyones favorite John Candy role but Del Griffith is mine, just so heartbreaking and loveable and kind, the chemistry between him and Steve Martin is just perfection
John Hughes really related to every kind of person, didn't he? Clever kids, mixed up teenagers, adults in crisis, normal everyday fools... what a genius.
Really relate to "everyone".. yeah, as long as they were wealthy upper class yuppies from the Chicago suburbs. Working class people in his movies are buffoons, criminals, or both... black people are either old bluesmen or they steal your hubcaps, and Asian people are ridiculous horny cartoon characters with names like "Long Duk Dong". I think, generally, he made really fun movies but dont give me this "related to everyone" jive
It's just a shame that after Beethoven in 1992 everything he created was utter shit. At some point in 1992 his 'mojo' was stolen and so his movies went from averaging 6.5 on the IMDb to averaging 3, the last seven years of his life all he produced was crud!
Till the day i die i will always laugh hysterically when John Candy turns into the devil while going the wrong way on the highway. This was a great movie. Shame John Candy passed away not to long after the movie. Fantastic reaction Dawn.
"One night a few years after 'Planes, Trains and Automobiles' was released, I came upon John Candy (1950-1994) sitting all by himself in a hotel bar in New York, smoking and drinking, and we talked for a while. We were going to be on the same TV show the next day. He was depressed. People loved him, but he didn't seem to know that, or it wasn't enough. He was a sweet guy and nobody had a word to say against him, but he was down on himself. All he wanted to do was make people laugh, but sometimes he tried too hard, and he hated himself for doing that in some of his movies. I thought of Del." --- Roger Ebert, 2000
If I had the chance, I’d like to tell him “I don’t think you tried _too_ hard. I think you tried _extra_ hard. That’s part of what makes you so great, and I’m far from being the only one who thinks so.” I hope he came around to that sort of realization while he was alive.
@@0okamino Yes, he gave *everything* of himself, every time, which made the average stuff better--- and the good stuff greater. He is very, very much missed.
John Candy. A genuine nice guy. Coincidently years ago my mother got to sit next to him on an airplane! She said it was like talking to an old friend. She cried when she heard he had passed away. RIP John Candy
I was a teen when he died. I remember my Mom coming into my room and telling me. First and only time I ever cried when a celebrity died until 2014 with Robin Williams.
“I didn’t even know Houdini died” is one of the most funny and absurd things I’ve ever heard someone say. He was born in the 1870s so his odds of still being alive were pretty slim.
“her first baby come out sideways. she didn’t scream or nothing.” funniest line in the whole damn movie. that’s where i had to stop the vhs when i first saw it with my sister. we howled for at least 15 minutes straight, then had mini fits of snickering throughout. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Your a real trooper! Del reminds me of a guy I used to work with he was very nice but not very clean and smoked a lot of cigarettes. He struggled in life has he like Del traveled for work.
One of the best comedies ever made, and heart-warming as well. RIP John Candy. (PS, when he says the temperature is "one" he means Fahrenheit. That's like -18d Celsius.)
@@dallesamllhals9161there's only 3 countries that use imperial anymore, the rest of the planet is on metric.

As an 80's kid its still hard to believe how many movies John Hughes made. Not run of the mill average movies but major films that are now classics and part of the American tapestry. After enough of his themes we knew his go-to recipe but still stayed around for the feast. Thats the sign of a genius- you know whats coming and still want to watch.
The old man on the airplane with the two main characters was the old man in Home Alone that says "She has a whole shoebox full of earrings. Little dangling ones." when Catherine O'Hara was trying to get a ticket home to Chicago.
A lot of my friends' parents were extras for this movie at Lambert Airport in St. Louis. They drove around the airport for hours while the scene was filmed of Steve Martin getting punched. Everyone said that John Candy was cool and hung around the extras during lunch.
More pro tips....the rental car company, signs, uniforms, car yard, and all the cars in the lot, had to be made built rented, etc., Because no major car rental company would be associated with this movie! In the car, Del is jamming to an old 50s Ray Charles song. In uncle Buck while making breakfast, he's doing the same thing! Also, there was lots more bad things that happened, but Hughes cut over an hour out of this movie 😮😮😮
29:51 The final scene is even more poignant when you realise that the original script had a subplot where Mrs Page feared Neal was spending so much time away from home because he was having an affair and she believed all these delays were actually excuses as he was with the other woman. It's not until she sees Del on the doorstep and says "Hello Mr Griffiths" that she realises it's was all true and she had nothing to fear.
The subplot still somewhat existed. It was the subtle tension seen across her face during their phone conversations . And in that last scene her facial expression gave away the thoughts she had been having.
When I went on vacation to Gulf Shores, Alabama in 1986, it was 18 to buy beer/liquor. Back home in Louisiana, it was raised to 21 in 1987. In 1985, Arizona had a legal of 17. In Michigan and Pennsylvania the drinking age was raised to 21. Michigan did that in December 1978. Maine raised it to 20 in 1979.
"Thanksgiving is like Christmas twice." Funny you should say that, Dawn Marie - when I was growing up, there was a running joke in my family where at the end of Thanksgiving dinner one of my older siblings would say, "This has been a lot of fun. We should get together next month and do it again, but with presents!" ^_^ PS: This is one of my favorite John Hughes film; first it makes me laugh until I cry, then it just touches my heart and makes me cry.
Back in the 80's and early 90's, a video rental store in my town used to sell movie posters they used to receive for the new VHS releases, once they were done with them. I bought a large version of the movie poster for this movie, since I really liked the movie, and had it on my wall for years. I think I actually still have it in storage, but it's probably in bad shape.
John Hughes was filming two movies at the same time. This one, and "She's Having A Baby", staring Kevin Bacon. Hughes asked Bacon to do that cameo at the start of this movie. He was shown "stealing" the first taxi and waving to Martin's character.
A fantastic movie and certainly one of my favourites with great acting by these two who had the right amount of chemistry that made this film for sure. Bless you mr candy ❤
I’ve loved this movie since I was a kid. The car accident scene still cracks me up. The ending was so heartwarming. John Candy is in some of my favorite movies from my childhood- The Great Outdoors, Armed and Dangerous, Who’s Harry Crumb, Hot to Trot. All funny. A bit of trivia: Neil’s wife’s odd reaction to him coming home at the end is explained by some deleted scenes. Because Neil has been spending a lot of time away from home, she thinks he is having an affair. When he tells her that his flight was cancelled and he’s stuck somewhere else, she thinks that he is with another woman. When he finally shows up, she realizes that Del is in fact real and he has been trying like crazy to get home the whole time. There’s also deleted scenes of Del putting beer cans on the vibrating bed and them exploding, and the kid that steals their money is the pizza delivery guy from earlier in the night. I live in Wichita but they filmed most of this movie In Illinois, not Kansas. I still can’t find Stubville on a map.😁
Dawn Marie, since you thought Houdini was alive, just thought you would like to know that Harry Houdini was born in 1874 and died in 1926. FYI. LOL. Yes, a man gut punched Houdini when he wasn't ready and Houdini was suffering from appendicitis. Houdini would die a few days later.
"What happened to his voice?" In the states that's a running gag in movies that a man's voice will go high pitched when he gets hit in the groin, it acts like a joke that he's not a man he sounds like a little boy
In the late 70's I was 18 years old and stayed in a Detroit Motel (not a Hotel). The bed had a mechanism to insert a quarter and it vibrated for a few minutes. I thought I was in the lap of luxury. I've never seen a bed like that since. Of course now I stay in Hotels when called upon and the sealed soaps tell me I am in a luxurious setting.
I miss John Candy. He is buried in a mausoleum at Holy Cross Cemetery in Culver City, near Los Angeles. I worked in the funeral business; if I was at the cemetery, I’d make a point of stopping by his crypt and saying hello.
The reason that houses always look similar in John Hughes-related movies is because he tended to base a lot of his movies in a place called Winnetka, Illinois, a wealthy suburb of Chicago around 15 miles north of downtown.
J-cut, is when you hear the audio for the upcoming scene before the picture changes. It helps bridge two scenes. You know it's a good movie when it makes Dawn cry. 😅
Del's comment about Houdini is actually true. Prior to a performance one day, he let a fan punch him in the gut. It ended up being a mistake, because hours later, Houdini died from his injury.
There were a ton of deleted scenes in this movie. And there was one story arc where Neil's wife started suspecting he was cheating, not actually stuck in all these places. The last scene where he introduces Del to his wife has a different meaning when you know, because of how relieved and on the verge of tears she was to see Del is actually Del
John Hughes was inspired kind of by the fact it took him longer than it normally would to get somewhere for Thanksgiving, was definitely once of Hughes's most personal ones that (saying it the past tense for two reasons he and John Candy sadly aren't around anymore, John Candy quite a while back sadly passed away was devastated really). Was in The Great Outdoors as well with the same guy from Ghostbusters haha (Dan Aykroyd), when Candy's character has to eat a huge steak haha.
Dawn, I always liked you, but when you said "this is the best movie ever" now I love you! Ha its classic. In the early nineties I worked on a film with Dylan Baker, the man that plays Owen. By happenstance, Dylan works out at my gym in NYC so I sometimes see him and chat with him, he's quite nice. But Owen is one of my all time favorite characters!
Trading Places is my all-time favourite movie but this takes the no. 2 spot. The chemistry between these 2 actors is what makes the movie. I hear they're going to make a new version but with 2 women. It's the sort of movie that doesn't work with just anyone
The movie was based on actual events that happened to John Hughes - as far as being stuck for days trying to get home. The UK has no real reference point for Thanksgiving, it is generally regarded as more important than Christmas and the pressure for families to be together is immense. Due to the distances in North America, people have to fly and airports especially just get rammed. - added to this, the northern states are heading into winter and weather conditions can be terrible - especially with the Great Lakes, which can cause some real mayhem with the weather. Numbers are down since covid, but its estimated that in 2021 and again in 2022 about 55 million people were travelling over 50 miles for thanksgiving
Houdini had a standing offer that he would pay $100 if somebody could make him flinch by hitting him in the stomach... On October 31, 1926, in Detroit, he was punched without warning, rupturing his appendix... He died...
I know what its like, the last of my family died 3 years ago, only me and my little doggy. I dont celebrate the holidays anymore, cant do it, they're just another day to me.
6:42 That old man was in Home Alone. When Kevin’s mother was trying to find a flight back home, she was talking to his wife and eventually they gave up their place so she could get back to Kevin in Chicago. 8:35 The cab driver is in Home Alone, too, He’s the crisis cop on the phone eating a donut while talking to Kevin’s mom.
But houses are different , home alone house is very similar but has extensions on both sides , in this movie extension is only on one side , also home alone home has 2 roof lanterns and this movie house has 3 ,
@@chandlerbryan1793 John Candy was in 8 of Hughes' films, Edie McClurg (rental agent) was in 6, Anthony Michael Hall was in 4, Molly Ringwald and John Kapelos were in 3 . Then there are several who were in 2 .

They don't make movies like this masterpiece. Laughing watching you laugh welcome to wonderful world of John Hughes. Just scratching the surface your are ready for Mr. Mom and Uncle Buck

Trading Places is my all-time favourite movie but this takes the no. 2 spot. The chemistry between these 2 actors is what makes the movie. I hear they're going to make a new version but with 2 women. It's the sort of movie that doesn't work with just anyone
Now you NEED to see "Cool Runnings" Dawn, please trust me, you'll love it and, based on a true story too 😀🥰
It's the same neighbourhood as Home Alone, but a different house.
"Is it really that bad, trying to find a taxi?" There's an old New York City joke: "Shall we walk, or do we have enough time to take a cab?"
This movie got an R rating for that one scene in the airport. It cost money at the box office but was so worth it.
Dawns laugh was made for "those aren't pillows...!!!" 😅
The movie was based on actual events that happened to John Hughes - as far as being stuck for days trying to get home. The UK has no real reference point for Thanksgiving, it is generally regarded as more important than Christmas and the pressure for families to be together is immense. Due to the distances in North America, people have to fly and airports especially just get rammed. - added to this, the northern states are heading into winter and weather conditions can be terrible - especially with the Great Lakes, which can cause some real mayhem with the weather. Numbers are down since covid, but its estimated that in 2021 and again in 2022 about 55 million people were travelling over 50 miles for thanksgiving
"the snob and the homeless man" 🤣That comment had me laughing.
This was my father's favorite comedy ever.
The old man on the plane that you recognised was the old man that Kevin’s mum bought plane tickets from in Home Alone.
Houdini had a standing offer that he would pay $100 if somebody could make him flinch by hitting him in the stomach... On October 31, 1926, in Detroit, he was punched without warning, rupturing his appendix... He died...
I know what its like, the last of my family died 3 years ago, only me and my little doggy. I dont celebrate the holidays anymore, cant do it, they're just another day to me.
lolol. i like Dawn. she seems so fun to watch a movie with. she laughs at all i laughed at with these movies.
6:42 That old man was in Home Alone. When Kevin’s mother was trying to find a flight back home, she was talking to his wife and eventually they gave up their place so she could get back to Kevin in Chicago.
8:35 The cab driver is in Home Alone, too, He’s the crisis cop on the phone eating a donut while talking to Kevin’s mom.
But houses are different , home alone house is very similar but has extensions on both sides , in this movie extension is only on one side , also home alone home has 2 roof lanterns and this movie house has 3 ,
And of course Neil's buddy in the office is Ferris Bueller's dad.
@@chandlerbryan1793 John Candy was in 8 of Hughes' films, Edie McClurg (rental agent) was in 6, Anthony Michael Hall was in 4, Molly Ringwald and John Kapelos were in 3 . Then there are several who were in 2 .
@@chandlerbryan1793 Yep. I was thinking about mentioning early in the video but, I got caught up in her reaction. I think it’s my new favorite reaction of hers.
He also starred in The Old Man episode on Seinfeld and was hilarious.
They don't make movies like this masterpiece. Laughing watching you laugh welcome to wonderful world of John Hughes. Just scratching the surface your are ready for Mr. Mom and Uncle Buck
Watch "The Great Outdoors". It's another good John Hughes movie with John Candy and Dan Aykroyd, and one of the few not set in Chicago.
The blonde theif with the hat was the pizza and beer delivery kid who got stiffed on the tip.
