A new documentary is set to shine the spotlight over one of cinema's most beloved comic actors, 30 years after his death.

'John Candy: I Like Me' documents the life and career of the late Canadian funnyman John Candy. The larger-than-life legend appeared in some of the funniest movies of the '80s and '90s, films that include 'Planes, Trains, and Automobiles' (1987), 'Uncle Buck' (1989), 'Home Alone' (1990), and 'Cool Runnings' (1993). He died tragically young, but his comic genius, good nature, and wry humor have left a lasting impression on Hollywood.
