+ST0RM 145 Posted August 7, 2009 Man, that sucks. His movies were the best of the 80's for a teenager. And thanks to Pretty in Pink, the reason I've always wanted a Porsche 944. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+Dave 2,322 Posted August 7, 2009 "Saturday, March 24, 1984. Shermer High School, Shermer, Illinois, 60062. "Dear Mr. Vernon: We accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday in detention for whatever it was we did wrong. And what we did was wrong. But we think you're crazy to make us write an essay telling you who we think we are. What do you care? You see us as you want to see us." I always remembered that opening line because 24 March is my birthday and in 1984 we were living in Izmir, Turkey. Breakfast Club remains one of my favorite movies off all time. Hughes was a genius; anyone who was anybody knows about his movies and grew up with them during that time. He captured what it meant to be a teen and all the triumphs and tragedies that went along with it. He was on my list of someone I wanted to meet. I will miss him.

JediMaster 451 Posted August 7, 2009 That's also the reason why Not Another Teen Movie is my 2nd favorite spoof film after Airplane...while it makes some passes at modern film, it's mostly a Hughes-fest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
