I was watching it tonight on video and I still find it hilarious today, after not seeing for a few years, John Candy is great in this film, it's a shame he died. :( :cry:

One of my favourite quotes:
Bug:Hey, ever hear of a tune up ahee hee hee he
Buck: (mocking bugs laughing)Ahee hee hee hee, ever hear of a ritual killer, ahee hee hee he
Bug:I don't get it
Buck:Keep gnawing at my neices face and you'll be one....ahee hehehehe
 
Another memorable quote:

Buck: Well, well, well, they certainly are scraping the bottom of the barrel for cheerleaders these days.
Tia: What are you doing here?
Buck: I was just driving by with Miles and Maisey going out for some ice cream. Thought you might like to join us.
Tia: I said I would be home at 10. It's not even 9!
Buck: Who said anything about that? I thought you might like to join us for some ice cream. Maybe your boyfriend Bug here can join us. We can talk about burying the hatchet. You know what a hatchet is Bug?
Bug: An ax?
Buck: Sort of, yeah. I got one in my car if you'd like to see it.
Bug: I'll pass.
Buck: Fair enough. I like to carry it around because you never know when your going to need it. A situation may come up say for example, someone has been drinking, and about to drive a loved one home, then I'd like to know I have it. Not to kill. Just to maim. Take a little off the shoulder. Swish! The elbow. Slash! Shave a little meat off the old kneecap. Fowap! Ooooo! You got both kneecaps? I like to keep mine razor sharp. Sharp enough you can shave with it. Why I've been known to circumcise a knat. You're not a knat are you Bug? Wait a minute, bug, knat. Is there a little similarity? Whoa, I think there is! Ha ha ha. You understand what I'm talking about? I don't think you do. I'll be right back. Heh heh heh heh.
[walks away]
Tia: I'm sorry. He's very over...
Bug: Look, I think you'd better split. I don't exactly want you uncle to sic an ax on me.
Tia: He's all talk.
[Buck pulls out a small hatchet from his car]
Buck: Here it is! Come over here, Bug! Come on, I want to show it to you. Maybe later. Okay.

It`s one of those films you can watch time and time again and never tire of it. Everyone in the family loves it and my daughter even calls my brother Uncle Buck (he is quite big) .
 
When Uncle Buck is cooking Breakfast...how big were those Pancakes?!?

Also a great line from Macauley Culkin to Candy!

"Holy Smokes...he's Cooking our Garbage!" :D
 
Good film - but IMO The Great outdoors and Planes, Trains and Automobiles were superior - both as fils and performances from JC.

Who can forget the Steak scene from the Great Outdoors! :-)
 
I like it when he punches out the clown for being drunk turning up for the kiRAB birthday party.

The simple jokes were funny like with the unbreakable breakable plates and the cat that wasn't theres.

I picked the DVD up for about
 
Planes,Trains and automobiles was a fantastic film, I loved both Steve Martin and John Candy, my favourite bit was when Steve martin is pissed off at the car lot near the end of the film when he snaps at that woman:
Woman:How may I help you
Steve:Well you can start by wiping that f***ing smile off your f***ing face!
And his f worRAB just keep going!

Classic :D :D :D
 
I absolutely loved Uncle Buck when it was released (I went to see it at the cinema twice) and also had a huge soft spot.........ok, crush.......on John Candy :o :o

I was very sad when he died :cry:

I want to watch Uncle Buck now - but sadly my VHS tape is at my old house in Stoke :cry: :cry:
 
I've got it taped on video but it's pretty old, I'll get on dvd soon, once I watch it, I wanna watch it again.
You can get it cheap on ebay if you can't find it in shops. :)
 
That was funny :D

'Here's a quarter, go downtown and get a rat to gnaw that thing of your face, have a nice day ma'am'
I like the music in that bit as well
