Was very sad to hear this last night. John Hughes was major for me growing up. Me and all my friends went to see Sixteen Candles, oh wow. And I feel like Breakfast Club was one of the first R-rated movies I ever saw. It was R, yeah? Am pretty sure. I was totally underage and felt like such an outlaw. Speaking of, I’d have to vote Breakfast Club my fave, fer sure. Best quote? Argh. Not so good at that. My favorite part, tho, has no words at all – that crazy awesome part where they’re all dancing, such a cool coming together of these diff characters just cutting loose getting crazy and having fun. Just AWESOME.

My favorite John Hughes movis is Pretty in Pink. I love the classic scene were Duckie is lip-syncing and dancing to Otis Redding.
Uncle Buck comes in a second how insane John Candy’s character is.
RIP John Hughes.

my very favorite is home alone. a classic christmas movie with hunter green interiors and preppy clothes. ‘bud, your girlfriend – woof!’ kevin slams the picture face down. the glass shatters.

Sixteen candles — “i can’t believe my grandmother just felt me up”

planes, trains & automobiles! :]
“you’re going the wrong way!!”

and of COURSE home alone and home alone 2: lost in new york
“look what you did, you little jerk!”
“wow! what a hole!”

Buck: Do your parents stay out of your personal life?
Tia: They don’t know my personal life.
Buck: Have they met twiddle-dink?
Tia: His name is Bug.
Buck: [chuckles] First or last?
Tia: First!
Buck: What’s his last name, Spray?
Tia: You should talk, Buck!

I loved Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. (SAVE FERRIS!) Ben Stein was perfect in it. “Anyone? Something-d-o-o economics. ‘Voodoo’ economics.”

Sixteen Candles, just after Samantha has confided to her father that the reason she’s upset isn’t because of who Jenny, her sister is marrying, but because there’s a boy she likes:
Sam: “Jake’s a boy, Daddy. I like him a real lot and he doesn’t like me, okay?”
Dad: “Well, if this guy can’t see all the beautiful and wonderful things that I see, then he’s the one with the problem.”
Sam: “I know, Daddy. It just hurts.”
Dad: (Hugging Sam) “That’s why they call them crushes. If they didn’t hurt, they’d call them something else.”

Sarah TOTALLY wrote what I was going to write! (Although his name was Buzz. Hehe.)

His movies defined a generation, and he will be missed.

The Breakfast Club! It’s one of my favorite movies EVER.

“Show Dick some respect!”

Here’s some of my other faves: “I can’t believe my grandmother actually felt me up” Sixteen Candles and “Chicks can’t hold their smoke, dat’s what it is” AND “Stupid, worthless, no good, goddamn, freeloading son of a bitch. Retarded, big mouth, know-it-all, a-hole, jerk. You forgot ugly, lazy and disrespectful. Shut up bitch. Go fix me a turkey pot pie” Breakfast Club

Sixteen Candles—louvre! ‘Love the teapot’ as Ginny walks down the aisle on muscle relaxers. And Weird Science–’Party…you know, chips, dips, chains, whips…I’m not talking candle wax on the nipples…tots brills.
RIP Mr. Hughs
