It probably only means something to those of us who grew up in the 1980s but a John Hughes film was a guarantee of a fun, meaningful, relevant 90minutes which when you look back was genuinely all about your life story, angst, foibles, esteem etc!!
"Vacation"
"Sixteen Candles"
"Some Kind of Wonderful"
"The Breakfast Club"
"Pretty in Pink"
"Ferris Beuller's Day Off"
"Planes, Trains & Automobiles"
"Home Alone"
"Uncle Buck"
Just to name a few...
Molly Ringwald, Matthew Broderick and others were part of a moving tribute to John Hughes in the Oscars today that to be honest moved me to tears for memories of those fraught years and all the anecdotes associated with the era of those films... relationships, trips, uncertainty, growing up, loneliness, and fun... all wrapped up in all night-er video parties.
