Topic: John Hughes R.I.P.

Just heard that the film director John Hughes has died, the guy was brilliant at his genre of films.  No one else portrayed the joy and angst of teenage life in the 80's

BBC News Article

For those of you too young to remember, here is his collection of films, Ferris Beullers Day Off was inspired, and The Breakfast Club is a classic - two of my favourite films

National Lampoon's Vacation
Sixteen Candles
The Breakfast Club
Weird Science
Pretty In Pink
Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Some Kind Of Wonderful
Planes, Trains and Automobiles
The Great Outdoors
She's Having A Baby
Uncle Buck
Home Alone
Career Opportunities
Curly Sue
Only The Lonely
Home Alone 2: Lost in New York
Baby's Day Out
Miracle On 34th Street
Flubber
Home Alone 3

And remember the classic line from Ferris Bueller:

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

A motto we should all live our lives by.

Yeah.  The first two Home Alone movies and Ferris Bueller's Day Off were some of those movies you loved as a kid growing up and love even now.  mini/smile

Re: John Hughes R.I.P.

John Hughes was one of my favorite directors, and many of his films I hold in a very fond place.  It's hard to express any serious sadness over the internet, and though I obviously never knew him, this is very sad news indeed.
