R.I.P. John Hughes

On August 6th, John Hughes passed away at the age of 59. He was writer and / or director of hilarious movie gems like

- Vacation / European Vacation / Christmas Vacation
- Breakfast Club
- Ferris Bueller's Day Off
- Planes, Trains and Automobiles
- Uncle Buck
- Home Alone / Home Alone 2
- Beethoven

A really creative and talented guy.

He was wonderful and his movies are a huge part of everyone's youth...He will be missed.

All his movies were good. I was still hoping for another Vacation. They could do another Vacation in Johns honer, make Chevy Chase the bumbling grampa this time...haha

RIP John.

I know we have lost to many icons this year, heck in the last few months.

I watched TP&A last night. What a great movie. Sad that John Hughes is gone and John Candy. I miss John Candy. May they RIP.

That was good humor back then. What do we have today? All these Epic Movies, Meet the Spartans and whatever...they're just not funny. I'm even fed up with the Scary Movie series now.

The Breakfast Club
Home Alone
Ferris Bueller's Day Off
The Great Outdoors
The Vacation Movies (esp Christmas)
16 Candles
Weird Science
Pretty In Pink
Plains, Trains and Automobiles
Some Kind Of Wonderful
Uncle Buck
Miracle On 34th Street remake

The end of an era. I can't believe he's gone. Those movies mean so much to me.

Did John do "The Great Outdoors?"

Wrote and Produced it.
