Uncle Buck

Before he became one of the biggest child stars of the 1990s in Home Alone, Macaulay Culkin shared the screen with comedy legend John Candy in John Hughes’ beloved family comedy Uncle Buck. When a family emergency leaves Buck Russell in charge of his brother’s children, the fun-loving bachelor quickly discovers that babysitting three kids is harder than it looks. Filled with Hughes’ trademark humor and heart, the film showcases Candy at his best: warm, hilarious, and surprisingly touching. More than three decades later, Uncle Buck remains a favorite among audiences and a reminder of why the late John Candy continues to be celebrated as one of the most beloved comedic actors of his generation. — Rebecca Mendez
