Tough call between The Great Outdoors and Uncle Buck for me as far as best movie.

I think his best acting job was in Plains, Trains and Automobiles

That one honestly beats Great Outdoors, but Steve Martin had alot to do with that as well.

Uncle Buck or Planes, Trains and Automobiles.


Definitely a toss up.

My favorite will always be Planes, Trains, and Automobiles with Summer Rental a close second.

Kerri Green was a teenage crush. She did Summer Rental, The Goonies, and Lucas and then it's like she fell off of the face of the Earth.

If he had lived longer, probably would've won an Oscar for some dramatic role he took.

He had comedy down but he had so much more depth in that area that we never got to fully see imo

I agree. He showed flashes of it in serious scenes in some of these movies listed. I think if he were still alive we would view him as we do someone like Tom Hanks.
