Cool

Not up there with the greats of Sci-Fi Horror (Terminator, Aliens etc) But a pretty good contender as I remember it (CD on me desktop)

Anyone else rate it?

I saw it at the cinema. I diddnt think it was as bad as the critics were making it out to be. I thought it was pretty good

I never take any notice of what critics say. I like to make up my own mind

Not at all. But I like his (UncleBuck's) attitude, and his car

Uncle Buck is my, and my kids', (17 and 14), all time fave film character.

What a shame John Candy died young:

That's nice to hear. 'tis a cracking family movie. Always watch it when it's shown. It is a shame about JC, but I am doing my bit to keep his memory alive.

Yep I have UncleBuck on DVD. Love it. Especially that scene where he makes giant pancakes with a snow shovel

Fave other John Candy film is Planes, trains and automobiles with Steve Martin. Bloody brilliant.

I do love the film and was saddened to hear of his demise, I can remember where I was, walking back after a night out and missing a taxi, stopped in the petrol station for munchies and it was on the telly.

Wasnt so keen on Cool Runnings though....

I had the DVD in my hand in HMV and for some reason put it back Must track it down again. Cool Runnings, not his best.

What was the one he did with Dan Akroyd on vacation in a log cabin? That is quite fun too.

I thought Pitch Black was great - the intro (ie, first 5 minutes) must have taken up most of the budget though. Take a look and you'll see what I mean!

You think Salivating, armor plated Aliens are scary until you turn over and see Dot Cotton, truly horrific....
