John Hughes movies definitely aren't "B" Movies, but I think they are fast approaching cult classic status, if they aren't already (it has been over 15 years since they were filmed *GASP*). Wasn't it a Kevin Smith movie (Dogma?) that actually had Jay & Silent Bob looking for Shermer, Illinois/Shermer High School b/c they believed it existed as John Hughes' films depicted it? I think when your movie/subject matter becomes fodder for other films, its getting up there with cult status. Being a successful film doesn't preclude a film from being a cult film. And I know so many people who can quote those things....
What has gotten into me? I am terribly opinionated today. I should get off the computer.
