The Breakfast Club is Over - John Hughes Passes Away

Moejoe · 08-06-2009, 05:24 PM

Sadly, John Hughes passed away today at 59 from a massive heart-attack. If you grew up in the 80's you probably have a film that you love that John Hughes had a hand in. My favorite was always Pretty in Pink. So in honour here's a clip from that film.

RIP John Hughes

Wow! I just watched a documentary about him a month or so ago. How sad.

Time to watch all those old DVDs...
Ferris Bueller's Day Off
The Breakfast Club
Sixteen Candles
Weird Science

Also, if you've never read "Vacation '58," the short story Hughes published in the old National Lampoon magazine that later became the basis for the Chevy Chase movie — well, it's available on the web and it's hilarious.

I told a few friends about this and none of them seemed to care, which made me even sadder

His movies brought me much pleasure in my college years. I can't think of the 1980's without remembering one of his movies.

I was so sad to hear that! I can define my jr high/high school years through his movies.

So sad.

Although we watched the above movies many times, my son and I watched Ferris Bueller's Day Off so many times that we wore out 2 VHS tapes and then bought the DVD.

RIP Mr Hughes.

The band shown in this clip is from my old high school Lockport High School near Chicago. I love watching this movie because it reminds me of all the things I love about Chicago.
