Epic Win: The Blues Brothers

Mar. 17, 2009

Once Upon A Win

Submitted by T Smith

It seems we just can’t get away from John Candy, although he was only a supporting actor in The Blues Brothers.

Belushi and Akroyd were the real stars and they really made this movie awesome. Even though The Blues Brothers was chock-full of plenty of profanity and other things most “adults” would object to these days, for some reason this movie was wholesome and clean enough that most of our parents let us watch it. When is Hollywood going to return to the good old days of epic movies like The Blues Brothers?

Epic Win: John Candy

Once Upon A Win

Submitted by MattDoc

John Candy was in so many of the movies that shaped our childhood that we don’t even know where to begin. A visit to his IMDb page reveals a plethora of movies that we loved.
He touched our funny bones in so many ways we’re not even going to tell you which moments are our favorites. Instead, we’ll post a few clips we found, and encourage you to tell us which John Candy moments (not limited to the clips provided) were your favorites.

Epic Win: Three’s Company

Mar. 15, 2009

Once Upon A Win

Submitted by katsak

Ahhh, the good ol’ days when Suzanne Somers was smokin’ hot, John Ritter was still alive, and a sitcom about three swingers living together, thinly veiled as platonic roommates and neighbors, was totally acceptable for afternoon and prime time television.
And who could forget the theme song? “Come and knock on our door….. We’ve been waiting for you……”

Here are some blooper reels for your viewing pleasure:

Epic Win: Wilford Brimley for Quaker Oats

Mar. 13, 2009

Submitted by katsak

Wilford Brimley was a man’s man in the 80’s and 90’s when he was doing the Quaker Oats commercials. “It’s the right thing to do and the right way to do it.” He doesn’t even let you choose. He’s telling you, you eat my Oatmeal, or else.

Epic Win: Dr. Seuss

Mar. 12, 2009

Once Upon A Win

Submitted by Johnny’s Girl

If your childhood wasn’t touched by Dr. Seuss, you should probably run out to the nearest bookstore right away and catch up. Every Christmas, families across the globe sit down and watch How The Grinch Stole Christmas. Green Eggs and Ham is like required reading for young’uns. Most importantly though, Dr. Seuss cleverly disguised socio-political messages in his books, like The Butter Battle Book, which was a criticism of the Cold War.
