Your Favorite LOL Scene(s) in Any Comedy-Type Film(s) ...

Fantastic comedy/film, and one of the very few that still make me laugh like a crazed maniac, even though I have seen the film many, many times before.

John Candy were now finally getting ready for a role that would allow him to be more than just the funny, sleazy sidekick to actors such as Tom Hanks or Richard Pryor, and even more importantly, one that would go down as maybe his finest hour, proving he could be the funniest guy around, but also one that comes along with a bit more serious and complicated backstory, than just being goofy and likeable.

Planes, Trains and Automobiles is an all time classic, that I watch every year and it is not just a great comedy, but a really great movie.
Sometimes you can have the most promising film script in the world along with all the great and talented actors, and still it doesen't always work that well in the end, but thankfully John Hughes knew how to get the best out of Candy and Martin, and the two sure did not let their director down, as the chemistry between them was outstanding from the very beginning and right up till the end.
Even seeing the two men together behind the camera or during interviews, you can see they had something special going and for me none of them would come close of re-capturing that chemistry with any other actors before or after.

I remember reading about that after the sad death of John Candy, Steve Martin would move in and stay with Candy's family, to help them out in a very difficult time.
It is a shame that the two of them never made another film together, as Del Griffith and Neal Page was two of my favorite duo/pairs on the screen along with maybe Jeffrey Lebowski "The Dude" and Walter Sobchak in The Big Lebowski.

My favorite scene from Planes, Trains & Automobiles (one of many that is) with the burnt out car, and Del sitting all alone in the freezing cold, talking to himself with Neal looking on as his conscience begins to weigh in on him: "What did I do to get hooked up with this guy?"

I loved how it could go so easily from "sad" or dramatic to later on hilarious, and never be over-the-top or too much.

"Goodnight, Sweet Prince."
