Best John Candy film?

All through this previous weekend I was at home watching movies with my sick daughter (she's okay now)and I suddenly found myself watching most (not all) of the John Candy films that I own, which include:

-Uncle Buck
-Planes, Trains, and Automobiles
-Spaceballs
-Only the Lonely
-Delirious
-Who's Harry Crumb?
-Armed and Dangerous

I just wanted to ask everyone here: Am I one of the few that think that this man was an utter genius? What is your favorite John Candy film? Why? I truly get sad sometimes when I think about how he died far too soon before his time. Does anyone else agree?
And for the record, I vote for Uncle Buck.

He's never short of great in any of his films. That makes this a hard decision. I guess I'll have to go with Planes, Trains, and Automobiles.

And as for minor roles, he was awesome in Vacation.

I know. I just ran out of space. I liked Canadian Bacon and Wagon's East, too.

Would anyone recommend Nothing But Trouble? I see it in the Walmart $5 bin a lot but I'm hesitant to buy it.

I'm gonna have to check out Canadian Bacon and Wagon's East now.

IMO, it's shit. Not only is Chevy Chase, the most unfunny man alive, the star, but it's just an all around bad movie which I hated. Candy's dual role as a cop and his behemoth, mute twin sister wasn't anything special.

It's gotta be Planes ,Trains for me,,,,,, I also like Uncle Buck and The Great Outdoors, however I remember walking out of the cinema during Only the Lonely. And the Michael Moore film Canadian Bacon is good also.
