A friend of mine mentioned seeing a movie 25 years ago with John Candy where he was lonley on Christmas and met a woman, possible Kim Bassinger, who took him home only to find out her family wanted to eat him. The woman's brother brough a heavey set woman and would rather eat her. Does this exist, if it does what is it called and is it available on VHS, DVD or for download?

...you're talking about the riotous and bizarre 1988 comedy, "Lucky Stiff", which was directed by Anthony Perkins...

Are you sure it was John Candy? Wagons East! has only a reference to cannibalism:
Comedian John Candy, who died during the making of this poorly received comic western, plays James Harlow, a 19th century wagon master who is heading back east with a wagon train full of oddball characters who have had their fill of Western life. They include ex-doctor Phil Taylor (Richard Lewis), kind-hearted prostitute Belle (Ellen Greene), and a bookseller, Julian (John C. McGinley). Harlow is a drunken, washed-up leader who frequently gets lost. The travelers eventually discover that he was a member of the famous Donner party, which resorted to cannibalism when stranded in the mountains. Railroad magnates try to turn back the party, figuring it's bad publicity for people out East to learn that the West is not really a paradise.

You prabably are thinking of "Lucky Stiff" (1988). That has Donna Dixon not Kim Bassinger, and not John Candy but I think his name is Joe Alaskey. It is about an inbred family that sends its beautiful kids out to the ski resorts, and are supposed to bring back people to eat for christmas dinner. Oddly enough it is a comedy. Is that what you are thinking of?
