England Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Does anyone like him? He was an amazing filmmaker He made movies like The Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles, Pretty In Pink, Home Alone, and Ferris Bueller's Day Off I was looking through the threads and I saw the Breakfast Club thread about the books for the band and I was just thinking about watching Sixteen Candles again...and anyways I wondered if MFC had a thread about him I love John Hughes, and I really love all of his movies So if there is a thread already, this can be closed Sixteen Candles...Jake Ryans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Sixteen Candles is one of my favourite movies of all time. I am the same age as Molly Ringwald so I was 16 at the time too. Ferris Bueller is a total classic. Matthew Broderick was brilliant in that. I've got a pink vinyl record of Pretty in Pink. I just love all those movies. I really connected with John Hughes. A girl that became his penpal years ago wrote a nice piece about him when he died. I'll see if I can find it. It was really touching. EDIT: Here is her story. It's really worth a read. http://wellknowwhenwegetthere.blogspot.com/2009/08/sincerely-john-hughes.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyLivs Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Not sure if there's another thread. I don't think I've seen one, but then again, I've only been on here again recently. I adore his films! Finally convinced my mom after ages to get The Breakfast Club. I've yet to see 16 candles, though I have seen Ferris Bueller, The Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink. Did he direct Planes, Train and Automobiles? I think he did. I really love that his films have a kind of heart to them. They are hilarious, sweet, crazy, and all that jazz and completely entertaining, but they, I don't know, seem to have a kind of soul. A very human soul. That sounds really odd/strange, but I'm not sure how to describe it. Well, a lot of movies don't have that 'soul', and I really like that Hughes movies do and still are awesome.

Droopsy Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Does anyone like him? He was an amazing filmmaker I can't add anything more I've seen a lot of his movies and liked all of those. Very much a feeling of nostalgia for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mandilambi Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Pretty In Pink is one of my top five fave movies...love it. John Hughes was such a great filmmaker. So many of his movies are considered classics now and it was huge loss when he died. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
