Here. I must have watched Pretty In Pink at least 10 times. And I was obsessed with The Breakfast Club for a while.

He wrote & produced "Some Kind of Wonderful" which I loved when I was younger - must watch it again sometime...

Oh dear, Pretty in Pink made me ache. My inner teenager still has a quiet sod whenever I think about that movie.

I too, was and remain an admirer of the Brat Pack films.

...'tis Friday. So tonight I feel I shall watch Pretty in Pink and The Breakfast Club whilst drinking a toast or six to Mr Hughes.

That's sad, he was so young.

Pretty In Pink is one of my faves too!

Ah, that's sad. I started watching Two and A Half Men recently with Jon Cryer, which led me to watch Pretty In Pink again and I still loved it, even though I am a 34 year old who will never again be asked to a dance.

God Prett in Pink was my seminal teenage film.
I wasnted to be Molly Ringwald.
Didnt he do Ferris beullers Day off too?

I hadn't realised that he wrote Home Alone - I love that film. Even though I know exactly what will happen I still laugh like a drain - and I've never seen DS3 laugh as much as he did the first time he watched it.

How sad. Perhaps a John Hughes DVD-fest is in order tonight, to remember his works and my youth. I think I still have Pretty in Pink on video tape. And Ferris Bueler was just magnificent. "Anyone? Anyone?"

Last night I decided to introduce DS 13 to Ferris Bueller, didn't know he had died.

I also have a thing for James Spader!

also realised he did 'Mr Mom' with Michael Keaton. Has anyone seen this? Such a funny film but I can't find it over here, maybe it wasn't shown in the UK ?

Some Kind of Wonderful was brilliant, as was Ferris Bueller's Day Off. I spent my teenage years quoting those films and wishing I lived in his version of the US!

Ferris Bueller is my favourite film. However I was banned from naming ds ferris .
