Remembering the Best of John Hughes

imageBreakfast Club and Sixteen Candles fans are remembering John Hughes, who died Thursday of a heart attack. He was 59 years old. At A List of Things Thrown Five Minutes Ago, a team of bloggers commemorates Hughes--Adam writes, "Thank you, John Hughes, for delivering such wonderful, empathetic movies to me at the right time in my life for them," while Alex says, "For a generation, Hughes was the cool uncle who still remembered what it was like to be a teen in a world full of Rooneys, Vernons, and Grandma Helens." "At his best, he made movies that celebrated freaks, weirdos, underdogs, misfits, wallflowers, basket cases...and the humanity of teenagers in general," writes Coilhouse. Of The Breakfast Club, Ruby Press says, "Every line in that movie is perfection." And The House Next Door writes, "The man was a born filmmaker. His movies moved. His comedic gifts were visual as well as verbal."
