[starfish]

indeed. Made some brilliant movies.

 

[marty21]

he was my favourite director in the 80s, I loved his stuff - until Home Alone...

 

[brix]

That's really sad. He was only 59

The Breakfast Club is one of my favourite films. I'm still in love with Judd Nelson 24 years later

 

[Sunspots]

I didn't like any of his films at all.

59 is young though.

I loved Ferris Bueller, liked Home Alone 1+2, didn't care for the rest.

59, sore one.

I feel a tribute showing of Weird Science coming on.

 

[spanglechick]

ohhh - that's young!

i loved his films - embedded a genre: the american high school movie.

 

[starfish]

I watched Weird Science only about a month ago. Ferris Bueller was my favourite though.

Didn't direct many films did he? I presumed he was churning them out.

 

[starfish]

According to imdb he only directed 8, 5 of which were brilliant imho. Was more a writer/producer.

Of those he did direct i liked HA, WS and PT&A. All good solid comedies. Didn't like BS or FBDO, and didn't see the other few.

RIP Mr Hughes, I loved all your movies in the 80's

 

[Tank Girl]

what belushi said.

"Did you spit in this?"

 

[skyscraper101]

He directed some great films.

 

[Orang Utan]

[N_igma]

RIP.

The Breakfast Club is one of my favourites.

Vacation, Mr Mom, Pretty in Pink, Uncle Buck, Some kind of Wonderful, Curly Sue, Home Alone(s), Miracle on 34th Street and Flubber.....

Too lazy to type out the titles in full - you expect us all to understand the initials?
