3 — Uncle Buck (1989)

Credit: Universal

It’s high on the list of John Hughes movies, and even higher on the list of John Candy movies.

For many, Uncle Buck has become the defining role for the gone-too-soon Candy. The film lets him cook. Uncle Buck is a true Candy vehicle, which is not something he got to do all that often. What if a nutty, eccentric guy was asked to babysit his nieces and nephew for a while? That’s Uncle Buck.

He’s crass and brash. He’s like Buttermaker from Bad News Bears, but slightly more loveable. Oh, and he makes that giant pancake. Everybody loves that giant pancake now. Uncle Buck has been given “cult status” by elder Millennials, and while not everything needs to be reclaimed as a “cult movie,” Uncle Buck is a fun showcase for Candy, and a movie worth having affinity for.
