John Hughes RIP

I am showing my age, but my favorite movies were made by this man.

While taking a morning walk during a visit to his family in New York City, director John Hughes, 59, suffered a heart attack and died in Manhattan, according to a spokesperson. Hughes is best known for directing, producing, and writing a number of hit films in the 1980s, including “The Breakfast Club,” “Pretty in Pink,” “Sixteen Candles,” and “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.”

Me and my friends doing our best Breakfast Club impersonation in high school.

“I always preferred to hang out with the outcasts, ’cause they

were cooler; they had better taste in music, for one thing,

I guess because they had more time to develop one

with the lack of social interaction they had!”

~John Hughes
