| John Hughes RIP
the twisted genius behind "Ferris Bueller", "Uncle Buck", "Sixteen Candles", "The Breakfast Club" and more is dead at the age of 59.
damn, this really sucks. John Hughes, 59, dies of heart attack - Los Angeles Times

| He was a legend. He created his own brand of comedy that dominated the 80s and early 90s. He will definitely be missed | |

| Weird Science was probably my favorite movie as a teenager. Sad he passed at such a young age. | |

If you liked '80s movies, I'd say odds are you like at least one John Hughes movie.
