RIP: John Hughes

If I could convince my wife to name our soon-to-arrive son Abe Froman Fox, I'd do it. "Ferris" is my favorite comedy of all time.

And Blake Snyder, too? Dang.
 
Very sad.
After Prom in 1988 ,I took my wife (then my prom date!) to my house and we watched Some Kind Of Wonderful on the 'ole VHS machine. Hughes body of work is Some Kind Of Wonderful....Thank you John. Lets pray for his family...
 
Just saw this thread and am now officially bummed out. Hughes had a hand in shaping our culture, that's for sure.

Was just thinking one of my favourite films 'High Fidelity' is very Hughesish.

Saw #1 and #2 last month. (the vacation house we were staying at had a VCR and the box set) :thumbsup:

They hold up well. I mean still REALLY funny.

A great loss to the film world. All his 80's films definitely had an impact on my childhood.
 
This morning at work (Barnes & Noble), the majority of the morning store meeting was taken up by everyone talking about John Hughes' death. The manager said that they were going to set up a special tribute display with a bunch of John Hughes DVD's. I guess whatever ones they had in stock.

Everyone seemed shocked that he died so young, and all had the same reactions about how his films where very important to them growing up. One person said that, "it felt like he was right there with you in high school."
