John Hughes Dies at Age 59

The man who defined the modern teen film has passed away.

John Hughes, director of The Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller Day’s Off, Sixteen Candles, Home Alone, Uncle Buck, Weird Science, Planes Trains and Automobiles, and writer/producer of Pretty in Pink died on August 6th of a heart attack.

If you guys wanna reflect on Hugh’s work and films, here’s the place to do it. I for one, will be forever grateful for the funny, human, sometimes even life-affirming movies that actually treated the teenage experience with respect and affection.
