As someone in their 40s from Canada, John Candy was just there in so many movies growing up. Spaceballs was probably my first one I recall (for some reason I thought the Great Outdoors but evidently that released later and I saw Spaceballs in theatre), still love that one, watched it more than anyone under 10 should have, I can probably still write most of the script if I tried. Everything I saw him in he committed to the role and comedy. I was quite sad when I heard he passed. I bet he'd have been in Schitts Creek if he was still around for that. If he is in a movie it usually means there are good enough parts to watch it.
