Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, of course. I also love him in Home Alone as the polka prince.

Only the Lonely, which co-starred my all time favorite actress Maureen O'Hara.
Spaceballs! "I'm my own best friend."

definitely Uncle Buck and Planes Trains and Automobiles. I also liked him as Gus Polinski the polka king from Home Alone. And yes...Barf 'the mog' from Spaceballs. He was too funny. Hubby and I used to see him a lot at the LA Kings games in the 90's, when Gretzky was playing for the team.

Most favorites: Spaceballs, Uncle Buck, Cool Runnings and Summer Rental.

Uncle Buck has one of my most favorite quotes: "Stand me up today, and tomorrow I'll drive you to school in my robe and pajamas and walk you to your first class." Heh! Love it!

Uncle Buck!!

"Who are you?!?"
"I'M YOUR UNCLE BUCK!"
"Do I have an uncle?"
"Unfortunately ........"

and

Nat - "Ever hear of a tune up? Hahaha"
Buck - "A-ha-ha-ha. Ever hear of a ritual killing? A-ha-ha-ha"
Nat - "I don't get it"
Buck - "I see you sucking on her face like that again in public and your going to become one. A-ha-ha-ha"

Just classic lines.

Yep, that's why I posted it. Except I like the movie more because Maureen O'Hara's in it and I've had a crush on her since the first time I saw a Tarzan movie!

I believe Wagon's East was his last. I still haven't seen it for whatever reason.


My two favorite are Great Outdoors and Spaceballs. Wasn't he also in Armed and Dangerous? That was pretty good.

Now why am I thinking that Summer Rental and The Great Outdoors are the same movie?

Summer Rental is at the beach - The Great Outdoors is in the woods.

I like The Great Outdoors and Planes, Trains and Automobiles. This may or may not be a little known fact. He was a minor character in Stripes with Bill Murray.
