Director/writer John Hughes R.I.P.
Movie critics around the world, including my colleague Rober Ebert, are no doubt working overtime at the moment to pay tribute to director John Hughes--the prime chronicler of teenage life in the '80s, at least as seen in the Chicago suburbs where he lived at the time--following his death Thursday morning of a heart attack in New York. But it is worth thinking for a moment about John Hughes, the music fan.
How many classics did this guy create. Vacation Christmas Vacation Planes, Trains & Automobiles The Breakfast Club Ferris Bueller's Day Off Sixteen Candles She's Having a Baby Uncle Buck The Great Outdoors

Re: Director/writer John Hughes R.I.P.
Seriously, what a great filmmaker. His great movies are too numerous to list. The guy, whether writing or directing, knew how to make a funny and captivating story.
Most notable to me is Planes, Trains, and Automobiles. Del Griffith is probably one of my favorite characters in his films, and what a funny but very, very poignant film. The end of that movie hits hard. Great stuff. RIP Mr. Hughes. |

Re: Director/writer John Hughes R.I.P.
He was the movies in the 1980s. Hardly anyone in that era who didn't owe him a huge favor for getting them great parts in his movies that didn't go on to bigger and better things at some point...
