What movie did YOU just FINISH watching?

Splash (1984) by Ron Howard
Not seen this romantic comedy, in years. Noticed I had given it a 5/10 on my last visit, but felt it needed another go, just to see if things might sit down a bit better than last time. And yes, it thankfully did.
The film do drag on during a few scenes, here and there. And with almost 105-110 minutes of time, is, well a little too long for this kind of romantic stuff.
However, John Candy pretty much stole every scene he were in, and showcased why he was just about not long off, before he would turn himself into a serious comedy leading man, providing the funniest and most memorable scenes in the film, as the sleazy yet likeable big brother Freddie Bauer.
He and Tom Hanks sure had some solid chemistry, and I guess out of that, came another comedy a bit later on, called Volunteers, which I guess was ok, but not something I would bother re-visiting anytime soon.

Speaking of Candy, I did stumble upon a hilarious story by director Ron Howard, that when they were making Splash, John Candy had a pretty wild night out with movie legend Jack Nicholson, the day before the classic racquetball match, between the two brothers.
Supposedly, Candy had been starstruck by the news  that Nicholson knew very well who he was, and seemingly enjoyed the company of the canadian. So much, that the two ended up drinking a lot, throughout the night and Candy had not gotten any sleep when he showed up late to do the physcial part in the brotherly "fight", mentioned above. However, Candy, as a true sport and professional. Told Howard the truth, and that he was sorry for turning up late, but just went on to do the shots, and it worked like magic.

Ron Howard:

“John [was a] totally professional guy,” Howard told Gad. “But, he’s late. One day, we had this racquetball court, and he’s late. John finally pulls up, and he kind of rolls out of a car. And he comes up and he says, ‘Ron, Ron, I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry.’ I said, ‘Well, it’s okay. You’re late but we’ll get going.’ He said, “No, no, no. Look, I’m drunk.’”

John Candy:

[Candy said,] ‘Here’s what happened. I’m telling you the truth. I’m at the bar and Jack Nicholson’s at the bar. “John Candy,” Jack Nicholson knew my name, Ron. “Do you want to come over?” Then he starts buying me drinks. Then I said, “I gotta go shoot.” Then he said, “You’re gonna be all right kid, don’t worry about it.” He kept buying me drinks. I never went to bed, Ron. I never went to bed.

I rated the film with a 6,5/10.
Not a classic, but still surely worth a watch, every now and then, just to enjoy the part which I guess made producers and directors in Hollywood, had to look up for this John Candy fella, and his talent of making people laugh and feel good.
