Funny. The Candy scene was one of my favorites, if not favorite.
Makes me sad because that scene made it clear that he had cross-over talent (as did P,T & As) and could easily have handled parts with non-comedic aspects to them. Had he not died, it's very obvious he could have had a career with parts just as diverse as Jim Carrey once he broke through the comedic "barrier."
Gouri, I will watch Nixon. Hell, I got interested in JFK because of you and Damage.
Candy was good in "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles" Towards the end, it was more so of a serious role. He could convey emotion with just a look. He was one of my favorites in the 80's.
I just finished watching "JFK". I wanted to know more about the conspiracy. I find it interesting that there are people who think we (this era) shouldn't care about the past because we were not alive when it happened. To remain oblivious? ... Laughable.
I remember my mother watching this movie. I now regret that I never asked her about where she was when the assassination happened, or how she felt about it. She never talked about it.
I felt the movie was great at covering all of the angles, and I learned a whole lot more of what others (those who don't care to know) about the situation. Got to love someone who was willing to go the distance to try and uncover what others want to be hidden.
Outstanding film.
*Edit* -- Also, I have Amazon Prime, but I have zero recollection of how/when I paid for it. There isn't a monthly fee, is there? If I'm not mistaken, it was something like $79 for a year. Not a bad deal, but I just don't ever remember getting a bill for it. And I think I've had Amazon Prime since April/May.
