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.

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

This reminds me of that episode of Friends where Phoebe refuses to go to the dentist because every time she does, someone who she knows dies.

I must admit that when one of my friends first told me "John Hughes died," I felt like I should know who she was talking about, but it didn't click... until she mentioned two of his movies, and then I remembered.
