It’s hard to decide between Uncle Buck and Great Outdoors. But my favorite character of his is Gus Polinksi in Home Alone. The few minutes he’s in the movie is just freakin hilarious.

Kate McCallister : Have you ever gone on vacation and left your child home?
Gus Polinski : No, no. But I did leave one at a funeral parlor once.
[Off Kate's look]
Gus Polinski : Yeah, it was awful. The wife was distraught and we left the little tyke there in the funeral parlor all day. All day. You know, we went back at night and apparently he had been alone all day with the corpse. He was okay though, after two, three weeks he came around and started talking again...
Kate McCallister : Maybe we shouldn't talk about this.
Gus Polinski : Well, you brought it up.
Kate McCallister : I'm sorry I did.
I lose it every time he says the kid started talking again after 2-3 weeks
Gus Polinski : No, no. But I did leave one at a funeral parlor once.

For me, it's a toss-up between "Uncle Buck" and "Wagon's East", his last film.

Great Outdoors
One of my favorite movies ever. I use the term “blow some coin” and “kickass drag boat” often
quote:
Roman: I think we should go into town tomorrow and pick up a ski boat. Whaddya say, sound good, guys? Uncle Roman'll blow some coin on a kickass drag boat!
Chet: That's okay, we're renting a pontoon boat.
Roman: Pontoon boat? What the hell are you gonna do with a pontoon boat? Retake Omaha Beach?

That's my go-to from The Great Outdoors. I also list Roman Craig as one of my all-time favorite characters. Also, the scene when John Candy drives the boat up onto the loading ramp and Dan Akroyd is laughing at him making the hand gesture

Great Outdoors for me. I remember seeing this at the theater and when he blasted that bear in the arse I laughed so damn hard.

For me it is the Great Outdoors, but I loved him in Space Balls, and pretty much everythign he ever did. I also made this post the other day in a thread about grizzly bears...
quote:
My dad took us to a bear dump when I was a kid. After a few minutes of watchign them my dad rolled down a window and started tossing them candy bars. This attracted all the bears, 10 or 12 of em to our car. They were climbing all over the car trying to get more candy bars. We were all freaking out and my dad had to slowly drive off with a couple of bears on the hood and roof of the car.
Dad was a fun loving guy. He looked like Uncle Buck, had a few hit records in his polka band, and once beat up some strippers in a mud wrestling match gone wrong.

Am I the only one who likes Canadian Bacon?

I like it on a pizza!

How about when Gus Polinski thinks she should know who he is? “Polka polka polka?”

Planes
Great Outdoors
Uncle Buck
I liked Summer Rental as well.

Either Uncle Buck or Planes Trains and Automobiles. If I had to pick one, then Uncle Buck.

The end of Planes, Trains and automobiles gets me more misty eyed as I get older. Right in the gut when Steve Martin goes back to that train station and sees him there alone. Just dang man right in the feels. And then cut to both of them carrying that trunk that brought them together in the beginning of the movie. Just so we’ll done. I miss that big guy

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.
Same here, I wonder what happened to her?

Planes, Trains and Automobiles is kind of like The Shawshank Redemption in that it may not necessarily be a person's favorite movie but you won't hear too many people say they didn't like it. Its appeal is very broad.

Stripes of course.
