John Hughes' Movies Were the Best

I just read the sad news that John Hughes, writer/producer and sometime director of some of my favorite movies of all time, is dead.  I LOVED his teen movies, and still love to watch them to this day.  My all-time favorite would have to be “The Breakfast Club,” followed closely behind by “Pretty in Pink” and “Some Kind of Wonderful.”  I also found “Planes, Trains and Automobiles” hilarious, once I got old enough that my mom would let me watch it (what with that “R” rating and all).  I think I may just have to have a John Hughes marathon this weekend in tribute – that is, if I can get my car running.  More updates on that later.

I am so sad about this news. I loved almost all of his movies and he is a much, much bigger part of the 80's for me than MJ was. Did you know he did the national lampoon vacation movies? He rocked and the world is a worse place for his passing.

That is sad news, I hadn't heard it. "TBC" and "PIP" are also faves…maybe I'll head down to the basement and find those VHS tapes…
