"He held it with his dik" was the line I think talking about when the 1 armed violinist finished playing and grabbed the bow
Try to make a point of watching this one around Thanksgiving every year. Candy was great and was often used by John Hughes. Shame neither lived longer.
Forgot about "Stripes" was so dum it was actually funny
What no "English Patient"
What about Bob? (Baby Steps!)
The first Police Academy was good.
The old Pink Panther movies were classics.
Coming to America
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (Oklahoma! Oklahoma! Oklahoma!)
Best in Show is incredibly funny.
Candy was one of the best support guys ever, though not the best lead (Hello Dan Aykrod).
My fave line of "Freddie's" in splash was when he was trying to get his brother Allen away from the press mob...
Freddie: Is anyone here from Penthouse Magazine?
(pause, no response from the mob)
Freddie: Then we ain’t talkin.
Classic Candy
One flew over the cuckoo' s nest. Would fit in nicely.
1) Mash
2) Snitch
3) Blazing saddles
4) Young Frankenstein
5) MP and the Holy Grail.
The only movie I can think of where Aykroyd was the sole lead was Dr Detroit. Not good. Paired with Belushi, Eddie, Chevy or Hanks it worked though.
Akroyd and Candy were good in The Great Outdoors. 6lb steak. I don't know if that is possible.
Candy would have been the lead there but Akroyd had a big part too.
Just missed the cut.
Yep. The old 96er... Dan needed one other person to play off of hie whole career to make it sing. There wasn’t just one wild and crazy guy....
DD was top 10 awful. Likely why DA didn't get more leads.
Speaking further of good Akroyd, though; how about "Gross Pointe Blank?" Another supporting character that was killer (pun intended). Definitely falls into the "dark" comedy genre, but a great film. Alan Arkin was wonderful, so many great scenes - Joan Cusack dumping gas in the office to torch it, the whole premise of the HS reunion, John C, during a shootout with Aykroyd asking the Dad cowering in a bathtub- who John C was contracted to kill, but is now trying to save - if he can marry his daughter (Minnie Driver).
Upvote for Big Lebowski, too.
Does Ghost Busters count as a comedy. DA conjuring up Mr Marshmallow was something only he could make work.
