The Blues Brothers? Maybe.

Stripes? Oh, hell, no. Stripes was nothing more than a 90 minute advertisement/recruitment film for the U.S. Army. Pauly Shore did the same thing with "In the Army now".

Blues Brothers easily and Stripes was definetely more than that.I seriously doubt that there were any morons out there who were dumb enough to be taken in by that movie who actually believed that the army was like that either.I think everybody knew better that the army is nothing like that at all.that movie had some great classic music to it.very unique movie,the music they play at the end I always could never get out of my head and just loved watching it over and over again when it first came out.one of those rare masterpieces,there will never be a movie like that again about the military,that movie was one in a million.a rare gem.

Planes, Trains, and Automobiles

Since the "favorite" trend is here, let's try John Candy: one of the best.

I don't consider The Blues Brothers to be a John Candy film, as he had a bit role. But this is the best movie off that list.

Planes, Trains and Automobiles.

I like all his movies that I had seen.It is a shame that he is dead.

yeah another actor that died way before his time.

Wagons East was his last movie he made.He died during the middle of the filming if it.Thank Goodness he didn't die earlier.He did enough in the movie to where they were able to finish the rest of the film without him and we were thankfully able to see him in one more movie before he left us.

Stripes, 1941 and Blues Brothers

Yeah baby.For me this is no contest.Stripes and Blues Brothers wins this contest by miles.not even close.Now its an extremely tough choice between these two because I love them both so much.Their both in my top 10 favorites of all time.Stripes just BARELY edges The Blues Brothers. Cant believe these two didnt get more votes than they did.I think its probably in the fact that Candy only was a supporting character in those two films where in Planes,Trains,and Automobiles and Uncle Buck,he had the majority of the screentime.

Plains trains and automobiles.
for his best major roles.

Blue moon of Kentucky, keep on shining
Shine on the one that's gone and been untrue
Blue moon of Kentucky, keep on shining
Shine on the one who's gone and left me blue
It was on a moonlit night
Stars shinin' bright
They whispered from on high
Your love has said good-bye
Blue moon of Kentucky, keep on shining
