John Hughes
Aug. 6th, 2009 08:18 pmJohn Hughes, director of memorable movies Sixteen Candles, Pretty In Pink, The Breakfast Club, Ferris Beuller's Day Off, National Lampoon's Vacation, Home Alone and many more, has died of a heart attack. He was only 59.
I found most of his movies to be pure entertainment, with honesty, heart and intelligence. He practically created his own genre of youth-oriented movies that had an appeal to a wider audience. How many people would utter the phrase "John Hughes movie"? I know I heard it often. He will be missed.
