Damn, this is a post I never imagined writing. I really don't even know what to say about it.
John Hughes died today. He suffered a heart attack while walking in Manhattan. He was there to visit family.
He was 59 years old.
The man behind movies that helped fuel my love of film and my dreams of being a screenwriter is gone.
The Breakfast Club. Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Sixteen Candles. Home Alone. Dutch. Vacation. Some Kind of Wonderful. Pretty In Pink. The Breakfast Club. I mention it twice because it is in my top 5 favorite films of all time. The list goes on and on.
John Hughes was a master and despite not having done much in recent years his influence is still felt and will be felt probably forever. His movies are just that good.
While he may be gone, his movies will be with us forever. A fitting tribute for a brilliant writer and director.
He will be missed.
John Hughes
