Victoria Odegaard No, I am not a troll, you are being an ignorant aficionado, that's not an insult, I'm merely making a criticism so please don't be offended. My statement regarding John Hughes' later career is referring to all his involvement in the film industry after 1990, I won't deny that the man was talented but after Home Alone he seemed to loose focus on creativity and innovation in film making that he was well known for, I still find it hard to believe that the genius who brought us such cinematic greats like The Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles and Ferris Bueller is also responsible for cinematic garbage like Beethoven, Home Alone 3, 101 Dalmatians and Flubber.
well... ur writing the same reply for multiple comments making you a troll. Keep your opinions from ruining other people's comments. I happen to feel that some of the later movies he directed weren't as... profound as his earlier stuff but this is all opinion and you shouldn't be shoving your ideas in other people's faces.
Victoria Odegaard Saying the same thing to a few comments that are saying the same thing isn't trolling, trolling is posting offensive and/or off topic messages online with intent on provoking an emotional response. What I'm saying in my post is a statement of fact not opinion, and it's intended to be informative not offensive. John Hughes was known for being creative and innovative but later in his career he began hastily phoning in movies in favor of personal gain, that is called selling out.
Funny how a man who was in his 30s understood the teenage mind of the 1980s so well. RIP Mr. Hughes and thanks for making those years so much more fun!
Hope I can be half as good as he is considering where teenagers are now compared to where my generation was after he was done writing Teen Comedies after Pretty In Pink. Then he wrote Uncle Buck and Home Alone 1 and 2.
@Andy UGoonie Teens are different from one generation to another, and that gap is getting even bigger in the last 10 years because of technology and how that is changing us.
@@_luisespinosa_ Nah I don't think so. That's why his movies are timeless. The same emotions, feelings and worries are in every generation of young people. It might be hard to see it but in certain ways you can still see John's characters in kids in high school today.
Well said.........or rear view mirrors for those of us who were lucky to be there...either way he captured that period on film perfectly. I hope every generation watches and enjoys his work
RockRobster71 Well I think his movies are about more than a generation. I think they capture human beings as who we are and who we could be and I hope every generation will be able to see that reflection when they watch a John Hughes movie.
"When you grow up your heart dies" A child sees the world and the things around them as a new adventure. They're innocent and naive to where they don't know any better. As a person matures into a teenager/young adult they're becoming more exposed to the "real" world. The expectations of society during those years pressured teens into being perfect adults and people thus causing them to sometimes grow resentful. Once they've become an adult they don't have that innocence they once did as a little kid and aren't seeing it through naïvety. They know what's finally goi on in the world and as they continue to grow they're not the child they once were thus showing that their heart in a way has died. When Bender says "who cares" it's showing that he doesn't care about growing up and losing the essence of being young and carefree. When Allison responds by saying she cares, it shows that she doesn't want to be bitter or emotionless when she's older.
3:08 "You're only 18 years old--" "And then I'm 19, and then I'm 20! when does my life belong to me?!?!" John Hughes was able to speak to something inside everyone, in a way that I haven't seen matched today. His work really was brilliant.
Mine too. I didn't see it until I was about to start my senior year. I was inspired to watch it by a homework studies class I took and it allowed me to be a part of a similar scenario.
Respectfully all of that occurs today and worse. At least technology didn't have everyone's heads up their asses in the 80's and people really appreciated the little things.
Everyone always talks about Martin Scorcese, Spielberg, James Cameron, Oliver Stone, Woody Allen, but if I had to watch only one movie writer/director's work for the rest of my life, it would be that of John Hughes.
Best movies he ever made: almost all of them they just featured. Sixteen candles, Ferris Buller, Home alone, Planes Trains and Automobile, The Breakfast Club, Mr. Mom. Almost every movie John Hughes touched, was gold. He is missed every year.
Regardless of your personal opinion of John Hughes' movies, you have to agree that he was an undeniably talented man, whose films impacted an entire generation. And based on the descriptions of these actors, he sounds like an incredibly respectable man. Rest In Peace John, we won't forget about you.
@@stevem2323 this guys movies were bigger than the US. As a kid raised in west africa, his are really the only ones i can remembering watching as a child. Also helped to learn english!
We won't also forget that he was a perv. He tried to diddle Rob Schneider weirdly enough. Remember that at least 80% of Hollywood are either deviants or were assaulted by one.
Matt Thornton never will. I’m not from the 80s, but my dad raised me on his films. Ferris Bueller is one of the first films I remember watching at five years old. The Breakfast Club, Pretty In Pink, Home Alone, Planes, Trains and Automobiles too along with many more.
Now in my early 50s, I can’t see clips from those 80s films without getting choked-up. I think of the carefree times with friends, feeling overwhelmed by life despite being truly fortunate, privileged kids with college ahead and promising lives. Some of those friends are gone now, from illness or accidents or other fates… loves and lives lost, but I still see them vividly in my mind’s eye, as if we’re forever young 😢 Thanks for helping keep them alive, Mr Hughes 🙏
He was only 59 when he passed. I'm almost 50 now having grown up with his movies. I'm reading his biography right now and it stated that despite his success, fatherhood was the most important thing in his life. He never succumbed or fit into Hollywood. John Hughes, you served your purpose and God took you Home early.❤ Thanks for all the memories.
they gave him the Oscar tribute to not feel guilty about themselves for not nominating him in the past.One of the best directors of all time didn't even get an international award in his time.pity.award shows are nothing but crap
"When you grow up your heart dies" - I agree a little, you don't feel things the way you used to feel things, it's not that you don't stop loving or are incapable of love. I think people who have been unlucky in love learn to try and not feel anything knowing that it is a setup for pain. That's the sad part of getting older, trying to protect your heart by learning to feel nothing.
Reminds me of the scene in "Home Alone 2" where Kevin is talking to the homeless lady about love and loss. He tells her that she needs to let people in, even if she gets hurt, because at least you know that your heart still works... or something to that effect.
I believe this - - but to an extent. YES, I believe as you get old your heart dies....HOWEVER, some of that is not due to evil intent, but reality. Let's face it...the heart doesn't make the mortgage payment, health insurance payment, or the heart doesn't provide better home or schools for kids. Some of the heart dying is the grind of life, where reality and practicality trump idealism and hope.
I too have lost a very good friend that passed away years ago. that got me through the suckiest moments in my life. that man was Greg he was a funny guy. people don't always slow down and take the time to realise what matters most in life. Hearts really do not die there are many that went too soon. alright peace out.
Am I the only one feels that Uncle Buck is really underrated. It's a really light hearted and hilarious movie that can be enjoyed with your family over holidays or any time of the year actually ❣️
I just visited Chicago for first time and top of my list was to visit various locations where John Hughes filmed his many iconic movies as was customary for him to use his own hometown Illinois suburbs in his pictures. His work, I always felt, had some impacted on who I am today.
I didn't know this as his foreign fan. I really want to visit there someday with my son and I definitely will. Thank you for your comment and have a good day. 👍
Im still crying. I love this man and the characters he created. Maybe because of him i survived childhood. Whenever i felt left out, I know theres a song to a JH script that understands. What a special man.
Erick Stoltz’s line makes me wanna cry. That’s exactly what I was thinking in my teenage years and now that I’m 22 it suddenly terrifies me to take control of my own life.
I love that Anthony Michael Hall and Judd Nelson help Molly Ringwald and Ally Sheedy off the step at the end. RIP and thank you, John Hughes, the greatest filmmaker ever.
Didn't know John Hughes died...in 2009 I was working abroad and didn't have time to keep in touch wit the States daily events. RIP thanks for the GREAT MEMORIES 🇺🇲🫡
Thank you John. Your movies made my teenage years much more happy. Your legacy still impact all over the world. Thanks again and R.I.P From your huge fan in South Korea.
John Hughes was the BEST of the best. Breakfast Club was my fav movie from the 1st moment I seen it until now (as well as Pretty In Pink, Sixteen Candles, etc...etc), at the age of 42! I know I was not the only teen who felt that he made his movies w/each of us in mind, and helped us all from that era - by letting us know we were not alone as we felt. I have made it a point to introduce his films to my own children so his legacy will live on. RIP Mr. Hughes & thank you!
There will never be another one like John Hughes! He’s movies 🎥 will always endure for generations to come! He’s definitely missed!🥹Rip🙏🕊️to the king of teenage movies! And for putting Chicago on the map for that matter. The legend John Hughes🙏
John Hughes took all of the ordinary things about life in the 80's for teenagers and expressed them through memorable films like, "The Breakfast Club", "Sixteen Candles", and "Pretty in Pink". Many of his other films were great too, but I will always remember the ones that focused on being a teenager and trying to figure out where you fit in society and where you will end up. The music in his movies is a big part of the soundtrack of my life as a teenager in the 80's. RIP, John.
I believe Ferris Bueller's Day Off and Planes, Trains and Automobiles are John Hughes' two masterpieces. The comedy and the drama is equally strong in each of those movies, with totally hilarious moments as well as deeply touching ones. They both have the most original, inspired, signature style out of all of his movies.
Watching all the different movies he made and hearing the lines in the montage gave me chills ."when you get old your heart just dies ." Bender "Who cares." SHe responds "I care." beautiful .
I really enjoyed watching this tribute to a legendary, and profound director such as John Hughes. I was fortunate enough to grow up in the 80s and have seen a good amount of his work on screen. His films have undoubtedly left their mark on moviegoers then. We still value this man's work even to this day. RIP John Hughes. Thanks for sharing your talents and gifts with the world. You will never be forgotten. 🙏❤️
I think this was one of the most beautiful tributes to ever be created. I wasn't a teen in the 80's and neither were a lot of the people I know, but I can't name one person that I have ever met in my whole 19 years of existence that hasn't seen or been influenced by at least one of his movies. They were at the time and will remain some of the best movies I have ever had the privilege of seeing :)
John Hughes succeeded in making highly commercial movies that, for the most part, didn't suck. Why can't anyone seem to do that any more? These movies defined my childhood and teenage years. Thanks for posting this. RIP, John.
John Hughes movies helped me be ok in my skin. Showed me being a nerd was still cool. Aspire to love unconditionally. And laugh and take a look around so that life doesn't pass me by!! Thank you John, for making the 80s the best decade of my life!!
I rewatched Ferris Bueller's Day Off for the first time in a very long time and immediately felt like a teenager again. It's amazing how any kind of art, John Hughes', can show you your youth is still there.
Anyone else other than me realised that this is probably one of the VERY few Oscar videos that actually show clips from movies? Anyways, John, you were, are and always will be the icon for youth movies, RIP.
Wow Molly looks great. I'm 48 now so I grew up at the perfect time for all those 80's movies to fully appreciate them. Still glued to the tube when they come on periodically. Good times...
I had the pleasure of meeting him once in a bookstore close to his home in 1987 and he took 15 minutes out of his time to talk to me about film making ( I was a film student at Columbia at the time). he told me he had never been on a movie set before Sixteen Candles and didn't know the first thing about directing. But he still gave me the BEST piece of advice I think I've ever gotten. He told me " Don't get bogged down in the technicalities of film making, rely on the experience of your crew for that. Focus instead on your story and characters because a film might be poorly shot but if it's nicely written and the audience wont know and better still, won't care".... R.I.P John....
Valentina 19373 So would Mine but in particular my high school years. But it's five years too late since I graduated. When he died eight years ago, I was about to start my sophomore year.
Absolutely beautiful tribute. My wonderful years of growing up in the 80’s. He understood everything that was difficult and amazing at the same time as a teenager. He left a legacy unlike any other filmmaker.
It`s 2023, I`m a man and grandfather now at 54 years old......the line from Allison (Ally Sheedy) "When you grow up your heart dies" had such an impact on me. I swore I would never allow it to happen. Sadly it just did, I was so much happier feeling miserable in the 80s. Rest In Peace John Hughes.
The really big question in my life is and always will be, “when you become an adult, why does your life suddenly get less interesting, more stressful, and less exciting?”
A lot of these movies are amongst my absolute fave of all time. I think me being born in 88' and after 30+ years they were made, that says a lot. He was a fantastic writer who understood teenagers like I've never seen any other director do, his stories are timeless and every generation has been and will continue to be able to identify with them. I was so glad to see part of the Brat Pack, Mathew and Macaulay there.
I'm watching this now 14 years later, and I have to say it's an awesome tribute to a man who made so many iconic films that captured the essence of the coming of age stories. John Hughes was truly one of a kind. RIP 🙏
Most of the movies that he directed or wrote were fantastic and will be remembered for decades to come like The Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Home Alone, Pretty In Pink and Planes, Trains and Automobiles. He also has some underrated gems like Sixteen Candles and Some Kind Of Wonderful to his name. He is an amazing writer, producer amd director and people who are looking to make a start in the film industry should see much of his work.
These movies got me thru my teenage years living in a toxic, dysfunctional home. I watched them all with my son and daughter when they were teenagers and they loved them just as much as I did. These movies are classic and timeless. They will never age just like the genius who wrote them. Thank you John Hughes for everything.
One of the greatest directors of all time!He proved that you don't need a complicated CGI graphics or high end special effects to make great movies!A great storyline with an equally great humor,that's his trademark!What a great lost. R.I.P.John.You'll never be forgotten.
My 43rd Birthday to day Sitting down to watch, Ferris, Breakfast club, sixteen candles, uncle buck, planes train, some kind of wonderful and pretty in pink. Relive my youth from the man who made me feel part of something.
I was born in 89, always fascinated with every one of his films. Also many other 80s classics of every gene. I feel like I’ve lived a double life, I can literally put myself in so many of his characters shoes. Something I think about often being an artist who is stuck in the past.
Growing up in the 80s I saw so many of his movies and honestly I didn't realize at the time these were all created by John Hughes. There are soundtracks to our lives through music. His movies were a snapshot of our lives in the 80s. What an incredibly talented man.
A moving tribute. He touched the lives of those in the acting fraternity. And gave them a chance in life. The film Planes, Trains, and Automobiles was a gem. I miss John Candy. And I miss John Hughes.
"Do you think I'm gonna be happy, I mean honestly?" "You wanna be a writer, you wanna be a husband. Maybe it'll work out, who knows?" "Yah you'll be happy, you just won't know it that's all."
+Max Flanagan Little moments of truth. John Hughes could always find them in his films. Disguised by slapstick, broad comedy or punchlines, he still found truth in the moments. She's Having A Baby (like a number of his films) was filmed in my hometown of Evanston and nearby. The train station in She's Having... and the church scene at the end of Sixteen Candles were filmed on the same half block in Winnetka, Illinois.
You'll be happy, you just won't know it Humbly brilliant line. We are "happy" as adults but deep down there are those unrealized dreams and unsatisfying endings. But we are clinically "happy."

I began to tear up when I saw all the iconic cast members from different movies get togehter on stage.
I was not too bad until I saw how moved Hughes' wife was. Then the ol' water in the eyes arrived.
If John Hughes was alive more of his films would have been made.
Yes
If you don't think John Hughes was huge, just take a look at all the young talent he kickstarted in Hollywood.
This is one of the most touching moments during the Oscars in recent memory.
Now in my early 50s, I can’t see clips from those 80s films without getting choked-up.

I don't think one can name a top 5 director that has won best director or picture. Sidney Lumet? that about it. He won one right?
Peter Miller Scorsese... but thats the only one i could think of
Peter Miller Roman Polanski won director twice, 1976 for Tess and 2002 for The Pianist. Hughes work will never be mistaken for him or Lumet though.
martinishot Roman Polanski won director once, 2002 for The Pianist.
I don't think Stanley Kubrick, John Hughes, Alfred Hitchcock, Christopher Nolan, etc. have ever one best picture or best director. Pretty hilarious.
No one captured the 80s teenager like John Hughes did. He was the master.
*I want to live in John Hughes' movies.*
I would feel the same way if i was in high school again. Its been eight years since i graduated

I won't forget about you John Hughes, I'll always be thankful to all the iconic movies you did. A legend! ❤
I am an emotional person anyway. But I cried when watching this. Such an amazing man.
RIP John Hughes (February 18, 1950 - August 6, 2009), aged 59
You will be remembered as a legend
I just visited Chicago for first time and top of my list was to visit various locations where John Hughes filmed his many iconic movies as was customary for him to use his own hometown Illinois suburbs in his pictures. His work, I always felt, had some impacted on who I am today.
I didn't know this as his foreign fan. I really want to visit there someday with my son and I definitely will.
Thank you for your comment and have a good day. 👍
That would be so cool if I did something like that
His films defined my youth. I'm 54 and his influence shines still today!
Im still crying. I love this man and the characters he created. Maybe because of him i survived childhood. Whenever i felt left out, I know theres a song to a JH script that understands. What a special man.
Erick Stoltz’s line makes me wanna cry. That’s exactly what I was thinking in my teenage years and now that I’m 22 it suddenly terrifies me to take control of my own life.
What a talented man. Movies just aren’t made like this anymore!
Except Lady Bird and Perks of Being A Wallflower
I love that Anthony Michael Hall and Judd Nelson help Molly Ringwald and Ally Sheedy off the step at the end.
RIP and thank you, John Hughes, the greatest filmmaker ever.
Didn't know John Hughes died...in 2009 I was working abroad and didn't have time to keep in touch wit the States daily events. RIP thanks for the GREAT MEMORIES 🇺🇲🫡
Thank you John. Your movies made my teenage years much more happy.
Your legacy still impact all over the world.
Thanks again and R.I.P
From your huge fan in South Korea.
His films are so special. There's a certain quality to them that can't be matched or replicated. RIP, Mr. Hughes.
How does this video not have a million views????
+NTRSANDMAN Oh dude that was frickin' funny.... aha hahahahaha...
John Hughes was the BEST of the best. Breakfast Club was my fav movie from the 1st moment I seen it until now (as well as Pretty In Pink, Sixteen Candles, etc...etc), at the age of 42! I know I was not the only teen who felt that he made his movies w/each of us in mind, and helped us all from that era - by letting us know we were not alone as we felt. I have made it a point to introduce his films to my own children so his legacy will live on. RIP Mr. Hughes & thank you!
You gotta admit, he became a sellout in his later career.
I admit it :)
" Then I'm 19, then I'm 20 when does my life belong to me!? " Somekind of wonderful
There will never be another one like John Hughes! He’s movies 🎥 will always endure for generations to come! He’s definitely missed!🥹Rip🙏🕊️to the king of teenage movies! And for putting Chicago on the map for that matter. The legend John Hughes🙏
Matthew Broderick and Jon Cryer should play brothers in a movie or TV show.
@@ErikBreivik There is a "Two and Half Men" episode where Alan makes fun of it, saying that, sometimes, people thought he was Matthew Broderick.
Paula Lins ok, thank you for explaining it to me.
Mizer Mustard hahaha 😂 😂 😂
@@ErikBreivik , sorry, I made a mistake, don´t know what happened. Anyway, what I meant is that "Two and Half Men" episode was really funny.
Sonja Dawn why are we laughing? Did I miss something? If so, no worries...I will laugh with you(cue my laughter)
Rip To A Great Director John Hughes, We Still Miss You Always
John Hughes took all of the ordinary things about life in the 80's for teenagers and expressed them through memorable films like, "The Breakfast Club", "Sixteen Candles", and "Pretty in Pink". Many of his other films were great too, but I will always remember the ones that focused on being a teenager and trying to figure out where you fit in society and where you will end up. The music in his movies is a big part of the soundtrack of my life as a teenager in the 80's. RIP, John.
I believe Ferris Bueller's Day Off and Planes, Trains and Automobiles are John Hughes' two masterpieces. The comedy and the drama is equally strong in each of those movies, with totally hilarious moments as well as deeply touching ones. They both have the most original, inspired, signature style out of all of his movies.
How can I possibly be expected to handle school on a day like this?
He was more than just a king. He was the godly founder of the coming-of-age genre!
John Hughes...We will NEVER forget about you.
Watching all the different movies he made and hearing the lines in the montage gave me chills ."when you get old your heart just dies ." Bender "Who cares." SHe responds "I care." beautiful .
I really enjoyed watching this tribute to a legendary, and profound director such as John Hughes. I was fortunate enough to grow up in the 80s and have seen a good amount of his work on screen. His films have undoubtedly left their mark on moviegoers then. We still value this man's work even to this day. RIP John Hughes. Thanks for sharing your talents and gifts with the world. You will never be forgotten. 🙏❤️
I think this was one of the most beautiful tributes to ever be created.
I wasn't a teen in the 80's and neither were a lot of the people I know, but I can't name one person that I have ever met in my whole 19 years of existence that hasn't seen or been influenced by at least one of his movies. They were at the time and will remain some of the best movies I have ever had the privilege of seeing :)
John Hughes succeeded in making highly commercial movies that, for the most part, didn't suck. Why can't anyone seem to do that any more?
These movies defined my childhood and teenage years. Thanks for posting this. RIP, John.
John Hughes movies helped me be ok in my skin. Showed me being a nerd was still cool. Aspire to love unconditionally. And laugh and take a look around so that life doesn't pass me by!! Thank you John, for making the 80s the best decade of my life!!
I rewatched Ferris Bueller's Day Off for the first time in a very long time and immediately felt like a teenager again. It's amazing how any kind of art, John Hughes', can show you your youth is still there.
I was a senior in 2012 when I watched the movie for the first time. I didn’t expect to get a kick out of it
Anyone else other than me realised that this is probably one of the VERY few Oscar videos that actually show clips from movies? Anyways, John, you were, are and always will be the icon for youth movies, RIP.
Not sure how this one slipped by. In cases like that, it is always better to just not post a video period, rather than a severely edited one.
Wow Molly looks great. I'm 48 now so I grew up at the perfect time for all those 80's movies to fully appreciate them. Still glued to the tube when they come on periodically. Good times...
I had the pleasure of meeting him once in a bookstore close to his home in 1987 and he took 15 minutes out of his time to talk to me about film making ( I was a film student at Columbia at the time). he told me he had never been on a movie set before Sixteen Candles and didn't know the first thing about directing. But he still gave me the BEST piece of advice I think I've ever gotten. He told me " Don't get bogged down in the technicalities of film making, rely on the experience of your crew for that. Focus instead on your story and characters because a film might be poorly shot but if it's nicely written and the audience wont know and better still, won't care".... R.I.P John....
I wish than John Hughes directed my life 👏❤
Valentina 19373 So would Mine but in particular my high school years. But it's five years too late since I graduated. When he died eight years ago, I was about to start my sophomore year.
Man we're all grown-up now😭thank you John Hughes for capturing such a special time in our lives. RIP.💗
10 years next month
Absolutely beautiful tribute. My wonderful years of growing up in the 80’s. He understood everything that was difficult and amazing at the same time as a teenager. He left a legacy unlike any other filmmaker.
It`s 2023, I`m a man and grandfather now at 54 years old......the line from Allison (Ally Sheedy) "When you grow up your heart dies" had such an impact on me. I swore I would never allow it to happen. Sadly it just did, I was so much happier feeling miserable in the 80s. Rest In Peace John Hughes.
I grew up in the 80’s and I believe it was the best time to grow up. Such a magical time.
The really big question in my life is and always will be, “when you become an adult, why does your life suddenly get less interesting, more stressful, and less exciting?”
Sam A That’s true. It makes you wonder what the world would be like if money wasn’t even a thing.
JOHN HUGHES one of the most important filmmakers ever! he gave young people a voice.
I still can't look at Anthony Michael Hall all grown up!
I love how he was a fan of British music. His movies always had great soundtracks
Words cannot Express how influential this guy and his movies were on my coming of age. Rest in peace John and thank you for the great times.
A lot of these movies are amongst my absolute fave of all time. I think me being born in 88' and after 30+ years they were made, that says a lot. He was a fantastic writer who understood teenagers like I've never seen any other director do, his stories are timeless and every generation has been and will continue to be able to identify with them. I was so glad to see part of the Brat Pack, Mathew and Macaulay there.
We won't forget about you, John. Thanks for the memories.
He hovered over the 80's and early 90's like a colossus. An entire generation of kids and young adults loved his films. Still sorely missed
I wish I was born 60s-70s and got old with them.. 1980s were really golden age to me..
My mom was born 59 and my dad a year later
I was born in 77. I enjoyed the 80s as a kid. The best era!
I'm watching this now 14 years later, and I have to say it's an awesome tribute to a man who made so many iconic films that captured the essence of the coming of age stories. John Hughes was truly one of a kind. RIP 🙏
Most of the movies that he directed or wrote were fantastic and will be remembered for decades to come like The Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Home Alone, Pretty In Pink and Planes, Trains and Automobiles. He also has some underrated gems like Sixteen Candles and Some Kind Of Wonderful to his name. He is an amazing writer, producer amd director and people who are looking to make a start in the film industry should see much of his work.
Happy Bday John Hughes! We still love your movies!
My heart died a little when John passed. R.I.P. John, and thank you ❤️
These movies got me thru my teenage years living in a toxic, dysfunctional home. I watched them all with my son and daughter when they were teenagers and they loved them just as much as I did. These movies are classic and timeless. They will never age just like the genius who wrote them. Thank you John Hughes for everything.
Never realized so many Hollywood stars worked with John Hughes.
He launched them into superstardom
One of the greatest directors of all time!He proved that you don't need a complicated CGI graphics or high end special effects to make great movies!A great storyline with an equally great humor,that's his trademark!What a great lost.
R.I.P.John.You'll never be forgotten.
My 43rd Birthday to day Sitting down to watch, Ferris, Breakfast club, sixteen candles, uncle buck, planes train, some kind of wonderful and pretty in pink. Relive my youth from the man who made me feel part of something.
Beautiful tribute to a great writer, director and filmmaker. Grew up with his great movies RIP John Hughes
I was born in 89, always fascinated with every one of his films. Also many other 80s classics of every gene. I feel like I’ve lived a double life, I can literally put myself in so many of his characters shoes. Something I think about often being an artist who is stuck in the past.
Hughes was a genius…. Period
These movies are still awesome today and will always be….
Just like a great song, they stand the test of time
John Hughes never mad a bad film. Each movie was but a small snapshot to his creativity.
Thank you John.
Well I watched Weird Science yesterday. Decent but doesn’t beat the likes of his other teen movies
@@manuelorozco7760 sorry to disagree but that was a classic of my childhood
@@Presice You know what they, generation gap
Growing up in the 80s I saw so many of his movies and honestly I didn't realize at the time these were all created by John Hughes. There are soundtracks to our lives through music. His movies were a snapshot of our lives in the 80s. What an incredibly talented man.
I miss John Hughes, this was just heartbreaking. Truely the voice of a generation and many to come.
A moving tribute. He touched the lives of those in the acting fraternity. And gave them a chance in life. The film Planes, Trains, and Automobiles was a gem. I miss John Candy. And I miss John Hughes.
"Do you think I'm gonna be happy, I mean honestly?"
"You wanna be a writer, you wanna be a husband. Maybe it'll work out, who knows?"
"Yah you'll be happy, you just won't know it that's all."
+Max Flanagan Little moments of truth. John Hughes could always find them in his films. Disguised by slapstick, broad comedy or punchlines, he still found truth in the moments. She's Having A Baby (like a number of his films) was filmed in my hometown of Evanston and nearby. The train station in She's Having... and the church scene at the end of Sixteen Candles were filmed on the same half block in Winnetka, Illinois.
You'll be happy, you just won't know it
Humbly brilliant line. We are "happy" as adults but deep down there are those unrealized dreams and unsatisfying endings. But we are clinically "happy."
I grew up with these movies. Thank goodness for John Hughes.
