John Candy 1950-1994

I decided to rank all of John Candy's films on what would have been the fabled funnyman's 75th birthday. Candy had roles in eight films produced in the '70s that we're just not going to discuss, because they're too obscure, insignificant, and hard to find today.
35.
34.
33.
33. depressing
32. filmed before, released after, and isn't any better.
. Legend has it that Candy spent one whole day(literally, 23 hours) on the set of "Home Alone" for his largely improvised role of traveling musician Gus Polinski and accepted mimimum payment($414) as a favor to John Hughes. He was understandably annoyed when a seemingly-small kids movie became a phenomenon and the highest-grossing film of 1990, with a domestic gross of $285 million. Regardless, it's still cool that he's in another timeless holiday classic(John has Thanksgiving AND Christmas covered).
