John Hughes, more than any other director, helped define my life when I was a young man. Not only did he direct The Breakfast Club and Weird Science, two films I watched repeatedly, but he wrote some of my favorite movies of all time. Just look at this roster of classics penned by Hughes: Vacation, Pretty in Pink, Some Kind of Wonderful, Christmas Vacation, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Planes, Trains & Automobiles, Home Alone, Career Opportunities, and many others.Thank you, Mr. Hughes. Your films had a major impact on not only my life, but the lives of an entire generation. You will be missed.
