I don’t know if it gets lost in all the others but Splash certainly is one of my favorite John Candy movies.

Daryl Hannah, Eugene Levy, Tom Hanks…

His characters in Stripes and Splash were two of his very best.

Just watched this tonight.

Nobody was lying about the feelings it brings out. Amazing guy.

I really didn't comprehend how much he had done by 43.

If anyone else was thinking of watching this and didn't get around to it, give it a watch. It's engrossing the whole time.

Really old bump, but watched this last night on Prime.

Def pulled at the heartstrings. Great documentary and sad story overall.

Appreciate the bump, cause I apparently I lived under a rock and missed it. Going to watch tonight.

If you're afraid of crying/tearing up in front of others, watch it alone.

Def hits you in the feels.

Yes he did.

My friend is a general manager for a CFL team and he has a picture of them both together.
