RIP John Hughes (1950-2009)

Another genius has passed away. Yes, you could probably argue about the quality of his films, but anyone who does something so impactful that it defines a generation is a genius in my book. If you are clueless as to who John Hughes was, he was the man behind some of the Brat Pack series of teenage "coming of age" flicks. Here is some of his filmography.

Sixteen Candles (1984)


The Breakfast Club (1985)


Home Alone (1990)


Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986)
