John Candy: I Like Me (2025 Colin Hanks) / Uncle Buck (1989 John Hughes & scr)

Tribute to the big (and strong) feller, with contributions from Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Tom Hanks, Chris Columbus, family and friends, He was lacking in self-confidence and haunted by the death of his father aged just 35.

Rather over-musiced. Ryan Reynolds was a producer.

Intrigued to see him in a clip from JFK, which we still have never watched. And found the complete absence of Cool Runnings curious (maybe copyright reasons). Also would have liked a contribution from Gaby Hoffman.

Q insisted we then watch what we both agree is his (and John Hughes') best film, Uncle Buck.
