Nooooooooooo! Quite literally, the 80s are dying this year. I'm so sad.
I'm going home and watching Pretty in Pink.

He's got quite the legacy...he was definitely influencing me and my friend in High School in the 2000s.

RIP. He directed some of my favorite movies. I can recite just about all of Sixteen Candles by heart.

The angst of the teenage years was perfectly captured in Sixteen Candles, one of my favorite movies. It still cracks me up when ever I see it.

I worshiped his movies when I was a teenager. I'm so saddened by this.

The Breakfast Club and Ferris Bueller are two of my favorite movies of all time. RIP Mr. Hughes. My thoughts are with his loved ones. How terribly sad.

Demented and sad. But social.

Does Barry Manilow know you raided his wardrobe?


So sad......

I still think SIXTEEN CANDLES is the most visible fun I've seen a director have with a film - and, like Otis, I can still quote almost the entire flick (including sound cues!)

So young, he was. RIP.

This is sad news. So many great films.

This made me cry.

I must have saw the Breakfast club every week for three months when it was first released at the movies.

RIP.

Another part of 'my decade' passes away. Very sad.

Unbelievable! I remember when his movies were dismissed as "something the kids get excited about" and now those movies are held up as eighties comedy classics.


Oddly enough, my favorite one is SOME KIND OF WONDERFUL.
