Yesterday was October 31st. A time when ghosts of the past come back to haunt us. A time when terror walks the streets. A time when we come to understand the true meaning of horror.

That’s right. I'm talking about John Candy’s birthday! And what better way to celebrate the big man’s big day than with a big list of his best films. RIP John.

10. Stripes
This was JC’s big break out role. Also, man, Bill Murray was hot when he was young.



9. Armed and Dangerous
In which John Candy gets to hang out with the dad from American Pie.



8. Blues Brothers
“Orange whip? Orange whip? Three orange whips”.



7. Who’s Harry Crumb?
He makes a compelling private eye. And a convincing Hungarian.



6. The Great Outdoors
I feel like this scene provides some vital insights into exactly why John Candy had a heart attack at the age of 43.
