John Hughes

RIP John Hughes
This man was a genius. Just a few of his movies would qualify him as brilliant: Christmas Vacation, Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Here he is in a photo with sweet Molly Ringwald. Her roles in his movies made high school so much easier to tolerate for a whole generation of girls. I taped his movies off tv with a VCR, then I bought the actual VHS tape, and I finally upgraded to DVD on some of them. They are just that good. Home Alone was the first movie that I was allowed to see in a theater without adult supervision. I have now seen that movie over one million times, thanks to my little sister Noel who loved it. Same goes for National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. Hallelujah, holy shit.

"Brian Johnson: Dear Mr. Vernon, we accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday in detention for whatever it was we did wrong. But we think you're crazy to make an essay telling you who we think we are. You see us as you want to see us... In the simplest terms, in the most convenient definitions. But what we found out is that each one of us is a brain... Andrew Clark: ...and an athlete... Allison Reynolds: ...and a basket case... Claire Standish: ...a princess... John Bender: ...and a criminal... Brian Johnson: Does that answer your question?... Sincerely yours, the Breakfast Club. "
