News was just released that John Hughes, writer, director and producer of such films as “The Breakfast Club”, “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” and “Sixteen Candles” died today of a heart attack. His publicisist confirmed that he was in Manhattan visiting family and died during a morning walk.
Being a child of the 80′s, I pretty much grew up on films that were either written, produced or directed by John Hughes. In fact, after looking at his Wikipedia page, I can say that there were films that I loved that I didn’t even know he was involved in, like “The Great Outdoors”, “Mr. Mom” and “She’s Having a Baby”. As an ode to the genius of Mr. Hughes, see some thumbnails of my favorites below:
And here is “The Breakfast Club” trailer. One of my favorite all-time movies. A Classic.
RIP John. Thank you for giving us so many great films. Your legacy will always remain.
