[0505abab]

[YOUrmypal68]

I am reading a book titled "You Couldn't Ignore Me If You Tried" which was a quote from The Breakfast Club by Judd Nelson - The Brat Pack, John Hughes and Their Impact On A Generation by Susannah Gora...it brings me back to my teen years in the '80s

[drkvenger]

Thank you John Hughes for giving us films that defined my generation. You will be missed.

[loveofthe80s]

There will never be another John Hughes, I loved his movies as a teenager, and I am happy that my teenage kids like them, I think any teenager in any generation can relate to his movies.

[NoCensorshipYT]

@loveofthe80s

Yes, my TWEENAGE son LOVE's Ferris Bueller, Wierd Science, Uncle Buck.

[mynadsronfire]

god i miss jh.

tbc was so powerful

[shurst111]

Ben Stein put it best:

"John Hughes is to Generation X what Shakespeare was to the Elizabethan Age."

[oliveberry13]

john hughes may you R.I.P.

you will be missed but never forgotten...

[CameronFryy]

Good slideshow. These are some of the best movies ever.

[ilovefilms94]

fantastic vid, RIP JOHN HUGHES!!!!

[rareu4532]

Good song can any one send me PM here on youtube, what the artist is ? =))...

[D0H3RTY42]

simple minds

[sdLove00]

i'm just wondering how he got so old lookin compared to the rest of his cast members. but truly he will be missed. loved him and his movies

[Ramin898989]

Diehard 'Uncle Buck' fan here, one of the best films ever made. My friend introduced me to Breakfast Club and St ELmo's FIre just a few weeks before Hughes passed away... I never realised what a true legend he was until I saw those films. RIP Hughes

[Pud3401]

RIP John Hughes, I was an influential 15 year old when I started getting into his movies and I can say I have seen probably all of them and re watched again and again, How great to have grown up with such fantastic movies and equally superb soundtracks, it made me want to go to the USA and school there just to live a day in the lifetime (preferably Ferris Buellers day anyway !! LOL) He will be missed but his movies will live on.THANK YOU MR HUGHES RIP ;)

[CalgarSkull]

His films defined the time they were made in. I love how his teen films were not cliche or stupid they had depth and sincerity to them. His family films in the 90's did the same. 59 was too soon to lose this talent regardless is he was still working or not.

[whieoehfeo]

i am a '90s kid but he created some of my favorite movies. RIP John Hughes

[songsterhiragana]

polite question, not out of dis-respect for Mr Hughes at all, but did he have an overweight problem when he kicked the bucket? All photos of him in media are from 1984, what did he look like in 2009? I have one foto from 2001 at IMDB data base, he looked, well, portly.

[huskerfan4life]

It's crazy how John Hughes death has been an afterthought to the media. So many of his movies had an effect on me as I was growing up. The Breakfast Club helped me to overcome falling into a "click" or stereotype in school. I learned to be myself. Thank You John Hughes for the laughter and being proud to be a 80's Child (Class of '89). The 80's might be gone, but the movies will last forever.

[agamarcin1000]

Thank you John Hughes for making such wonderful films, you understood what life was like for young people in high school. I will always remember your films, because they made us laugh and cry. R.I.P

[Dancing88Mike]

I love all his films but I grew up with Home Alone and Dennis The Menace as a kid in the 90's. I was born in 88 so I definitly respect his films from that era

[CoCoGreeny]

i might not have been alive in the 80's but thats just how powerful his films were, connecting to a new audience R.I.P

[Mac7001]

I miss the 80's so much...it just seemed to be a time of nieve innocence for me, and as I was growing up and trying to understand life the world and my place in it, The Breakfast Club, seemed to open my eyes to something I cant put my finger on...and it just seemes to capture everything of the 80's period...R.I.P John

[spikelive]

thanx for your works John R.I.P.

breakfast club is still now, one of my favourite movie(j 'm a huge Simple Minds fan)!we'll don't forget u!

ciao cheers from italy

[TIMR007ROX]

RIP john i cant believe this. he was my favourite director ever and regardless of what anyone says The Breakfast Club is hands down the greatest film ever created. my heart goes out to the family of this genius.

[modsleix6]

Now I feel like I'm locked in a vacancy... The world lost a true genius and I lost yet another of my heroes. Weird thing is, I started to re-buy many of his movies last week after seeing my TBC vhs tape and it almost falling to bits due to view after view. Watching the dvd's was weird cause it had many actors saying they couldn't wait for him to make another film and hopefully cast them in it. Sadly now, this can never be. John Hughes 1950-2009, the 80's generation will never forget about you...

[XPANIARD38]

dont say that, the 80's still living in our hearts, thanks to john hughes and simple minds, ill never forget" the breakfast club"

[nellen17]

Rest In Peace, John, glad that I got to work with & know you when we did the retakes on "Christmas Vacation" .. My pleasure .. short, though it was .. you did it all .. but death came much too early .. I say again, R.I.P.

[NeedMoreJoyDivision]

John Hughes directed some of my favorite comedies. RIP.

[mirabilo]

Shit. The 80s are dying fast. First M.J and now...... so sad.

[mynadsronfire]

fuck michael jackson, the kiddie fiddler/freak.

john hughes' work had far more lasting and overall emotional impact and connection, for me anyway

he will never be forgotten

so very sad

that judd apatow quote on hughes' passing: "it feels like a part of my childhood has died" is so true.

[TIMR007ROX]

your so right. FUCK MJ, hughes is truly one of the best directors ever.

[Lobonsky]

What do you remember of the 80s.......daggy hair, shocking clothing and iconic movies.......and Molly R..........Thanks for the memories!

[wixy20071]

God bless, JH

[Ecorce02]

All of us will regret this great director who gave us precious memories with his movies, Rest In Peace, Mister Hugues...

[kcg5000]

fuck you

[Jasin13]

If you actually paid attention to the character of Dong you will realize he was a stereotype, yes, but he is also a positive character and influence on everyone else in the film. So he speaks broken English...he's a foreign exchange student...duh!

John Hughes made great films and had no negativity surrounding him like Michael Jackson did so shove your negativity and don't say anything if you can't say something nice.

[margotandstella]

Shame on you. Your timing is beyond disgraceful. Watch his life work and I promise you will regret your statement.

[modsleix6]

Blow all of us Hughes fans fuckwad, coming from YOU, I'm sure he and ALL us fans take it as a compliment...

[CuervoBlack06]

RIP John Hughes...you gave us 80's babies a lot to remember.

[830615521]

R.I.P. John Hughes forever.

[Rawtings09]

john hughes was an amazing director and writer, still havntseen a couple of his movies but love all the ones i have seen.

R.I.P. john, your influence will be felt for decades to come

[NoCensorshipYT]

RIP John.

We here in Chicago know how much you LOVED us.

Chicago LOVES you right back.

[davefilms345]

[jeremyellis17]

loved his movies

[FEARAFALL]

bye I love your movies

[1963kristi]

John Hughes made the greatest films ever!!!! :)

[realneji4]

Sad

RIP Hughes

I love your films

[DLFproductions]

it's sad, he made all of these films and every single one became classics and if it wasn't for john we wouldn't have home alone 1 and 2, uncle buck, ferris bueller's day off and many more... this legend will remain with us 4 ever and ever

[nikedmondson]

I was shocked when I woke up to hear this today... such a beautiful mind to write and direct all of those classic films. He was a HUGE influence on me and my pursuit of film--his memory will be cherished dearly.

[Kykk]

Loved TBC, PT&A, NL Vacation and the rest. Mr Hughes is gonna be so missed. R.I.P.

[edwinoh07]

fueller the best

[fredigy]

tragic

[MrSTAYBLACK]

Loved trains, planes, and automobiles with the great John Candy. What a great funny film and a very talented directer. Those films in the eighties with Candy and co are just GOLD. Todays talent cant match it, FUCK I MISS THE 80s SO FUCKING MUCH!

[Moviewhiz1]

I LOVE The Breakfast Club. I cried when I saw it on the news.

[editfy]

Ultimate John Hughes Tribute

Made me cry. Feel like my childhood is dying!

[jrock714]

We've lost an unbelievable talent. Very sad.

[Befnall]

WTF

Add him to the list of great people along with Douglas Adams

There will be no REAL talent left soon

and all our entertainment will suck

R.I.P. Mr. Hughes

[badnewswhite]

R.I.P.

[LittleRedMenace]

I graduated from high school in 1983, so just before his biggest films came out. But I still really related to them since the memories, good and bad, of HS were very fresh in my mind as I tried to negotiate young adulthood.

[ScReAmDeMoN58]

great tribute to a great and talented man,RIP.

[DONDON2013]

I know he gave us many great movies and so many were apart of our lives growing up.. He was one of the greats thats for sure.. R.I.P. John Hughes 1950-2009

[BanditRev0lver]

The world lost someone special...I thank god my sister made me watch these films when I was younger. I was young yes but I understood. RIP John I will miss you.

[LaPussyGato]

Us X Generation brats hold John Hughes films close to our heart because he wrote the book on teen angst comedies. Something that struck a chord in me was how he made music a focus of his films. Just think of all the great alternative rock songs you heard in 16 Candles, The Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink and Some Kind of Wonderful. These examples resonate with my childhood and all of my teenage idiosyncracies. His brand of films will surely be missed.

[yakinho1234]

Sadly all his great movies wer before my time but i have to say i own nearlly all of them and wish i was a teenager in the 80's, his movies are the best..i definately know i will never forget about you John Hughes,r.i.p

[welles1]

Just heard the terrible news. Can't believe it. "The sportos, motor heads, geeks, sluts, bloods, wasteoids, dweebies, dickheads, they all adore him. They think he's a righteous dude".

He truely was.

Rest in peace.

[thesepipesRclean]

Weird Science is still my favorite film ever . Sixteen Candles , Breakfast Club , I forgot that he did Ferris Bueller . What a genius . I normally don't get too upset when we lose a celebrity , but I feel choked up , like a piece of my childhood is gone . God bless the Hughes family .

[weeeric]

Weird Science

May got have mercy on this very kind soul

[silvershields]

awesome!

[daverich76]

A true movie making legend.His films defined an entire generation.Ferris Buellers Day Off is my favourite movie of all time and is an iconic film that will last forever as will the legacy of the John Hughes era. Rest in peace John.

[theangrymoviedork]

good tribute

[Whatevamafawka]

I could watch the breakfast club without a t.v.

[AwsomeCuban]

Great tribute

[jwatson626]

JW

[pinkfreud62]

[dperez77]

[MissMurder85]

This is a good song choice.

He will never be forgotten.

R.I.P. John Hughes

[ilovetogofast88]

John, we'll NEVER forget about you

[jazzzbaby]

The director for my generation. Seriously, I just cried when I saw the news. His films were my favorite flicks in the 80s when I was a teen. I just adored his work. He was a gifted writer. Rest in Peace xo

[yuehej]

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

[djbubba2000]

SERIOUSLY i just want to thank you for taking the time and effort for doing this! In the same way that some people were affected by the death of Michael Jaackson this his hit me in the same way! Maybe it's because he had such an effect on my childhood and formative years (i was born in 1976) but his films have always been a constant companion and for that Mr Hughes i thank you and may you R.I.P

[Spaceboy2000]

Andrew McCarthy and Molly Ringwald, wouldn't have a Career without John Hughes...He's Flicks are Classics...RIP MAN!

[kerplunk31444]

RIP x

[maregee]

can't believe he is gone

[NJNetFan]

Ferris Bueller, one of my favorites ever. Thank you John.

[hswatnik]

rip John Hughes-

[Cusackattacks]

RIP loved this movies. 2009 sucked!

[ilovetogofast88]

You said it, John Hughes was a visionary and his films spoke to us, unlike today's films which seem to rely on shock value and characters you just want to KILL, John Hughes projected messages in his films and that's why they will continue to be watched in the years to come.

Let me also add that Judd Apatow is NO John Hughes, his films will NEVER stand the test of time

[killerrodan]

R.I.P. John Hughes.

[DONDON2013]

A Movie Genius !!! R.I.P. John Hughes 1950-2009

[KingBizarre]

great films. always wondered what happened to him.

[lowgeemudbone]

john hughes really knew what it was like to be a teen in the 80s.R.I.P.

[SLC11692009]

RIP John Huges. Nice tribute!

[Tacom4ster]

JOHN HUGHES REST IN PEACE

If he directed Twilight, it would have been awesome. Hell if it was 80s he would use Molly as the lead actress, and Judd Nelson as the vampire, that would been friggen awesome

[hpaliyah]

R.I.P. John Hughes. Ferris Bueller's Day Off and The Breakfast Club are two of my all time favorite movies. John really brought the 80s to us in the movie industry.

[Griloreis]

R.I.P John Hughes, my favorite movie was always Ferris Buellers Day Off, last weekend i watched Drillbit for the second time, a must see.

[BOBOGHOST]

wow I cant believe it. this man is a legend. He made so many classic's,just wow. He will be missed. RIP!

[trebla97233]

John really had a way of pulling at our heart strings. He made me laugh, and cry. His catalog of movies are ones I've watched over and over again. There will never be another John Hughes.

RIP John. Thanks for the memories...

[Tweegrrl]

Oh, I love all the films he wrote. Uncle Buck! The Great Outdoors! The Breakfast Club! Pretty in Pink! Weird Science! OMG He will be missed :(

[GoNadz69]
