If your an 80s kid like me, but did'nt really care for wacko jacko at all...the death of John Hughes means much more, his films were such a part of the 80s and early 90s...some proper classics in there:

An 80's Icon indeed.

RIP.


p.s. most of his movies were shit, of course...but the man gave us Kelly Le Brock so he was a genius.

Breakfast club is awful

Everything else was genous

Trains, Planes was the greatest comedy of the 80s

RIP

The Breakfast Club was excellent.  I was 10 at the time though.

Ugh!  A brilliant man for entertaining us in our teens...soooooo many great films.  RIP

Yeah me too,thought it was awesome when I was 13, then I watched it in my mid 20s and just found myself screaming "just f$$$ing belt up you spoilt little gits"

I watched it again this year.  Utter nonsense, but doesn't it sum up the 80s perfectly for you? 

Oh, and Molly Ringwald when you're 10 years old... ;kev;

FYP you evil man

Maybe Breakfast Club didnt age well but in the 80's I loved it I was about 13 , but the nostalgia of these films and the fact they are now abit dated means that although new generations wont get them we always will, but I still love Wierds Science and Kelly LeBrock will always have a special place in my heart, Plains  Trains & Automobiles, Ferris Bueller, Pretty in Pink man takes me straight back to my youth. A sad loss RIP John Hughes

For me Ferris didnt age well either, I bigged it up to a bunch of friends and we watched it in complete silence, they eventually turned it off and I felt embarressed. Weird Science and Planes Trains both stand the test of time

Some great stuff in there Planes, trains. Uncle buck both classics.


RIP John Hughes.

Seems like he was a genuine great fella aswell:
