    Argh that is damn sad. That guy made so many flicks I loved as a youth. Breakfast Club & ESPECIALLY Ferris Bueller from his earlier stuff, PT&A & Uncle Buck from his later. Didn't realize he had gone so inactive over the years (Curly Sue was his last flick?!?!). Damn crying shame.

    May have to go home & bust out Ferris Bueller's Day Off in tribute...

    R.I.P Mr. Huges.

    While, don't have any of his films on dvd, they frequently show on Encore sometimes so, I've gotten a chance to see them. I've seen Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Weird Science, Uncle Buck, Home Alone, Sixteen Candles, and Pretty in Pink. They were full of camp and cheesiness most, of them anyway. But, I love it!

    Wow that sucks, I loved Home Alone and Uncle Buck as a kid and he had a hand in writing some other good ones too.

    Just saw this on the tube. Horrible news.

    His films are part of my childhood and life. A true entertainer...

    Very sad to hear of the passing of this talented director. As was said, he had a big effect on gen x, and some of his films were pretty cool.

    RIP Mr. Hughes!

    This really is sad news. Sixteen Candles was the first VHS movie I ever rented when I was 13. I enjoyed just about every film that Mr. Hughes made, especially Ferris Bueller's Day Off and Planes,Trains, and Automobiles. A great loss for movie buffs for sure.

    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    Saw this running along the ticker at the bottom of Sky News last night, totally not expecting that ... which is a weird thing to say, you'd never expect someone to die really ... I guess it's the seeming randomness of it, he was only 59!

    Indeed, he's created some enduring comedy and teenage classics.
