Wow…

One of the unfortunate tasks of this site is to write obituaries for those that had an impact on movies that have passed on.  This is one that is tough for me…

I was born in 1970, which means my middle-school and high-school years took place in the heart of the 80s.  Sure, we had Spielberg and Lucas doing their thing, but it was John Hughes that made the movies most relatable to me.  My first date was to go see Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.  The Breakfast Club showed me that kids are kids, period.  Some Kind of Wonderful showed me that we are all fools when it comes to teen love.  Nate and Hayes was my mom’s favorite pirate movie and made us watch it several times.

No one has come close to what he did with his movies: defining the high school generation….

However, the moose now says that this chapter is now closed…..Hughes……Hughes……
