Movies like "The Breakfast Club" helped shape my teenage years........RIP John Hughes!

Way.too.young.

Way.too.young.

He's too young to die, or you're too young to remember his movies?

Too young to die, I was 10 in 1984.

Wow...you're older than I thought. Same age as my younger bro in fact.

16 Candles and Weird Science remain among my favs of the era. Right next to Back To The Future.

Mr. Hughes,

thanks for the great memories.

Twist and Shout

:cry:

John Hughes (director of Pretty in Pink) is no longer with us.

Here's one of Duckie's dance scenes that I liked.

The guy from 2 1/2 Men?

No the guy that directed Breakfast Club and all those 80s teen movies passed away. Duckie is still here - at least I think so.

John Hughes...yes, he died.
Breakfast Club is an awesome movie!

Duckie has plowed off this mortal coil? Did Blaine off him? BTW, Blaine is not a person's name, it is a name for a major appliance.

Ooops, I edited I thought it was Duckie.

Thanks for clearing it up!!

I love Pretty in Pink ----- and I loved the music from it as well, total 80's, Echo & the Bunnymen, etc.

You can change the title again to mention Duckie if you want.

Man, I crushed on Molly hard in the 80's. And I dressed like Duckie, even though I had the build of a middle linebacker or defensive end.

I always thought the Duckie character was cool. But, alas, I had a crush on Andrew McCarthy. Disliked the Blain character, yuck.

Blain? His name is Blain?
That's a major appliance, that's not a name!!!!

Andrew McCarthy played Blain in Pretty in Pink.

Is he dead too?

I don't think so.

I was just wondering if a deadly breakfast club pandemic was afoot.

Are you saying Molly has a club foot?

We were the world's second greatest generation according to Mr. Hughes :)

Don't You Forget About Me

I'm trying to decide what I think about this; afaik Hughes was the one who finally trapped teenage culture and defined it into his movies, which basically killed radio (freeform am/fm stations confused the suits writing the checks but they were happy with whatever the djs did 'cause the $$ kept coming in; now all stations programmed from Dallas through Clear Channel presumably to suit the soundtrack of some John Cusack movie), steered everyone into shopping malls, and retroactively pushed it all onto the 70s too (that 70s show style).

He made some good stuff.

:love:

Was absolutely gutted to hear of John Hughes' passing yesterday. Planes, Trains and Automobiles, The Great Outdoors and Uncle Buck are in my top movies of all time. He also had a hand in the National Lampoon movies too (the ones that were good, unsurprisingly).

Thanks for the laughs, John.

RIP
