John Hughes
John 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.
