I agree.

His movies are the best. RIP

I'm very concerned that many people I've talked to about this don't know who John Hughes was. Especially considering the fact that so many of his movies were set here, because he was from here... ugh.

16 Candles is still one of my all-time favorite movies.

So sad.

Agree with both. John Hughes was definitely one of the few people who were seriously a legend in his own time. Hollywood just lost a genius.

I know! It makes me feel like an oldhead, even though a lot of these people aren't that much younger than I am.

Every time I've been to my hairdresser, someone of some level of fame dies. Last time it was MJ.

Slight hijack -- You know the parade scene in Ferris Bueller's Day Off? My parents were in the crowd when they were filming! You can't see them...but they were there! They were filming when they were dating and saw it after they got married :)

ETA: And the final scene (the football field) of The Breakfast Club was filmed at my bf's high school!

Might be a sign you need to stop going to the hairdresser. :D
