John Hughes R.I.P. - Thanks for the memories...

[LoneGunman]

Ahhh, the 80's a simpler time. J.H. provided many of the classic 80's quotes and music and his movies are still cult classics. O.k. his movies were thin on plot but we did not care. It was more important to know if the principle in the Breakfast Club was going to find the stash in Johnstons underwear.

Buck Russell: I don't think I want to know a six-year-old who isn't a dreamer, or a sillyheart. And I sure don't want to know one who takes their student career seriously. I don't have a college degree. I don't even have a job. But I know a good kid when I see one. Because they're ALL good kids, until dried-out, brain-dead skags like you drag them down and convince them they're no good. You so much as scowl at my niece, or any other kid in this school, and I hear about it, and I'm coming looking for you!

Buck Russell: Take this quarter, go downtown, and have a rat gnaw that thing off your face! Good day to you, madam.

Ferris Buellers day of, one of my all time favorite movies. Loved it, still do. RIP John and thanks for all the laughs.

Planes, Beuller, Buck were all good. His 80s teenager flicks always sucked ass, despite their cult status.

Wow... only 3 posts b4 mine. Thats too bad. His movies had a big influence on a whole generation. Sure thin on plot.. but... they were feel good - coming of age kinda movies. Some Kinda Wonderful and Breakfast Club.... cool. Real cool. Thanks J.H. R.I.P.

agree. He captured teen angst perfectly with his movies. Pretty much everyone at that time could identify with one of his great characters.

although he was part of the ME GENERATION when is came to screen plays I enjoyed his movies
