R.I.P. John Hughes (1950-2009)


I know I'm a little late in posting this but the movie world lost one of it's greatest minds of the 1980's and 90's. If there ever was a movie that was about teens and you related to it, that was probably because it was written or directed by Mr. Hughes. I mean the man was a genius and his resume of movies he wrote is very long. He is credited with writing National Lampoons Vacation (1983), Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986), Weird Science (1985), Pretty In Pink (1986), European Vacation (1985), The Breakfast Club (1985), Sixteen Candles (1984), Home Alone (1990), Curly Sue (1991), and Dutch (1991) just to name a few. The last movie that John Hughes wrote was Drillbit Taylor (2008), which starred Owen Wilson and Unfortunately now we will never know what else that brilliant mind could have made. So, God bless you Mr. Hughes and thank you for all the wonderful memories you gave me.
