Brewster's Millions or Cool Runnings.

Planes, Trains and Automobiles for me. One of the best comedies ever, imo, and more heartwarming than it hasany right to be.

spaceballs.

and though his part was smaller, 'cool runnings.' that movie is just awesome, so anyone in it is awesome by association.

As much as i love big Candy i have to admit that most of his movies are shit. I liked, Planes trains and automobiles, Uncle Buck,only the lonely and the Great Outdoors but thats about it. I enjoy all of his performances though. He had a strong and infectious screen presence. I wish he had the chance to make a few masterpieces though. The guy always seemed to be on the cusp of being paired with the right director. I think Only the Lonely, Uncle Buck and Planes Trains and Automobiles came closest to capturing his true potential as a comedic and dramatic actor.
