R.I.P. - John Hughes


John Hughes dies at 59 in NYC

While they weren't what would be called classics, Mr. Hughes' films were consistently entertaining and enjoyable. His type of films are the ones that most youner people watched most often, and always enjoyed. He was great at coming-of-age in the U.S., or the trials of young people, type of films, very attractive to teens. Still, Ferris Bueller's Day Off is pretty close to a comedy classic. And such a young man...

Rest in peace, Mr. Hughes.
