  • way to go whomever made this!!! my buddies and i watched day of, while partying and it just summed up hughes's greatness!

  • How could anybody NOT like??? Thank you for the trip back to the 80s!

  • EPIC! Thank you!

  • OMG!! Yes!!! Best group ever and the best director ever!!

  • THIS IS TOTALLY AWESOME ....John Hughes def made his mark in this world!

    THANK YOU!!!!

  • what a great video .. just love it!

    Some kind of wonderful is my all time fave <3

  • this decade is so shit im not even sure what its called.

  • @20cFilmWannabe tell me about it

  • @20cFilmWannabe it's called "you'll get your ass kicked if you say something like that again"

  • Awesome job lining all those clips up with the music!! I think John himself would have enjoyed this very much. These movies were, for so many of us, a light on the shore while we navigated the stormy seas of our youth.....and still to this day, remind many of usthat we are not alone, and that the geek can get the girl,......John's films reminded us that we weren't all alone in feeling all alone........we ARE the breakfast club.......Rock the F**k on, sisters and brothers, Rock the F**K on!

  • I just love this so much. I wish I could have met John <3 RIP

  • The fact that theres The Who as background music makes this even more amazing!

  • THat was simply amazing.

  • Fuck what I said about the timing. This kicks ass no matter what.

  • An itty bitty tad bit off timing in some places, but other than that, magNIFICO!!

  • This is one of the best videos on YouTube. You captured Hughes perfectly. The perfect song, the perfect clips. From 4:10 on is genius

  • Let's see...

    1. Find footage of some great 80's movies...Check.

    2. Find a legendary rock song...Check.

    3. Put them together...Check.

    The Who and John Hughes what an epic combination.

  • this is a good song and who ever put this together did a great job

  • Shermer, Illinois rules! I'm moving there--if I ever find it! :0)

  • @AK74inCali Thats what Jay & Silent Bob thought when they went looking for Shermer Illinois in Chasing Dogma !!

  • @ elektraeriseros

    That's excellent - you should be happy with the era you grew up with. Don't kiss @ss! I was 10 in '80, which means I had the rare experience of being a teenager at the PERFECT moment (for me) in the 80's. I wouldn't say John Hughes' movies defined the 80's, a lot of things did (Madonna, Michael, Europop, New Wave) but his movies were absolutely frosting on the cake! I'm so glad you got to watch them too, I'm happy my teenage daughters love them as much as I did.

  • i miss those days :(

  • what are the names of all the movies ?

  • I was born in the 90's...and I'm not about to sit here and kiss ass and claim that I wish I was born in the eighties or that I hate the era I grew up in

    ...because I DON'T. Not particularly fond of the Reagan/Bush years.

    But I can't deny the awesome of John Hughes' movies...they DEFINED the 80's and were enjoyable to watch growing up and still awesome to watch now.

  • @elektraeriseros

    That's your opinion and I will respect it. The 90's were a great decade as well, I was born during it so I know how great it was. Because of that I have had the shitty luck of growing up in the past decade. We had 4 great decades before the 2000's so I guess it was due that we would have a bad one.

    I wish I was around in the 80's though, the whole decade just seemed fun. But that's my opinon

  • @efan2011

    My mother was a child of the eighties (born in '74 but really remembers the '80s as the time she grew up). She has enough experiences and memories to sustain me through the more fun times of the '80s. :)

  • @elektraeriseros

    Same here, except my parents were born in the 60's so I hear about both the 70's and 80's. They tell a lot of great and bad stories :)

  • great job!! such wonderful memories -- so many memorable scenes!!

  • I found this not only amazing but entraining as well.Thank you!!!!!

  • ooooh what a time we had back when this song was out and a hit....all those night and week ends....hot and wild....still got some fire burning ...not dead yet.....lol

  • the good old days!

  • So far, the 26 dislikes are either accidental clicks because they were busy paying attention to the video and clicked the wrong thumb. OR, they're from bitter teenagers that are irritated by the fact that the 80s had better music and movies than their decade (I have to throw in the 60s and 70s too, those decades rocked as well). Entertainment started going down hill fast just after 1996 with just handfulls of good entertainment here and there. 60s-80s were saturated with uniquness.

  • First Movies I saw were Breakfast club and sixteen candles. I was about 11 and My sis and I were at a cabin with are parents and there was nothing on tv, we were bored out of out minds and on the channel we were on played them back to back. I fell in love.♥

  • @MsErraticErika Do yourself a favor and find these two "forgotten" 80's teen classics.  "3 O'clock High" and "Last American Virgin" trust me when I say this, their amazing !!

  • so for some reason whenevr im drunk on youtube i look up this video..always gets me in a good mood....i think its epic, and u should be proud of it

  • *sigh* Pretty In Pink and Some Kind of Wonderful, but under utilized and underrated. I LOVE those movies, but you have only like 2-3 shots maybe from those two, at the same time having like 50 shots from Ferris Bueller's Day Off and Breakfast Club!

    It's okay. Good vid. I'm just tired of PIP and SKOW always being partly forgotten, probably 'cause John didn't direct either one.

  • Its called Baba O'Reilly

    

  • LOVE John Hughes films. The man had awesome talent. His work will be forever remembered. He is missed. Excellent work on this tribute video.

  • This makes me happy. :)

    Excellent job

  • I wish I was born in the early 70s or sixties so I could have truly experienced the 80s. Those of us born in the later 70s and early 80s missed out. The 90s sucked.

  • @RetroJenny i don't, the 70s and 60s is where it's at. free love. people forget that John Hughes movies rocked but the 80s sucked. Cocaine, Reaganomics and AIDS. I think that's why the movies were so good, because everything sucked back then.

  • @300daysandnights Well I'd take the 80s over the 90s, but it would have been great to be young in the 60s and 70s too.

  • @300daysandnights

    Hahahaha, a bunch of delusional Pot heads having sex in a field in upstate New York, whoop dee doo. Their the reason the world is so screwed up now, but it hadn't settled in by the 80's. They took full control in the 90's.

    Reaganomics was what got us out of the Carter years *shudder*. Idealism, optimism, creativity that wasn't just based on trying to be a rebel/derelict.

  • @Califacience having sex in a field smoking ganja sounds pretty good to a lot of people.

  • @RetroJenny Come on man the 90's didnt suck that much (born in 81) We got to see the rise of the backstreet boys, hanson, Chumbawumba, Mambo #5, new kids on the block, N*sync, milli vanilli, Hootie and the blowfish, ace of base, spice girls, limp bizkit, Oasis, and great movies like street fighter, cool as ice, Hot Shots, Hot shots part deux, Ed, Batman and Robin, spice world, Water world and Anaconda. Oh wait, the 90's did suck.

  • THAT WAS AWESOME!!! Good job!! I'm a total 80's kid and that just kicked some serious booty!

  • I wish i was a teenager in the 80s!

  • Nice montage.

    I was genuinely sad when I heard of John Hughes passing away - I am a total 80's head as I really believe the heart has gone out of movies and music since those days and he was a big part of that.

    I'm just thankful I was a teenager during those years but I wish it could have lasted for all time.

    Breakfast club is my personal favourite and so made me want to live in the states and go to a proper 'high school'!

    Molly Ringwald is an awesome dancer!

    80's forever!!

  • Good work--I really enjoyed this!

    William Lloyd

  • Im so jealous of my parents, they got to be teenagers in the 80's. My dad said it was epic. Why couldnt i have lived during that time? whyyyyyy?!!!!!!

  • 1:02 - calculator watch

  • 1:09  Casey Jones.

  • Here's an Idea ........Why don't you use an 80's song not a song made in the 70's. .........Just Sayin

  • Maaaan, Whyy Caaant Myy Lifee Bee Likeee An 80'sz Movieee ' ?

    iWould (Love] If Someoneee Threw Rocksz Aht Myy Windoww &&' Heldd Uhpp A Steroo Blastinqq Ourr Sonqq , Orr Iff Everyydaaay Thereee Wass Onn Persson Whoo Madee A Whaa Is Supost To Be Bad Experience Good, &' Then Walked Away With Their Fist Hiqh In The Airr , Withh 'Dont You (...Forqet ABout Me]' By 'Simple Mindsz' Playinq In The Backqround ♥'

  • 2:04 WINNER!

  • best 80s montage ever! brought back lots of memories!!

  • I'd like to be able to write a movie as well as John Hughes, but sitting down and trying to do it is impossible. I do believe in myself but still can't imagine being able to match his sincerity and creative genius.

  • his films were truly americana and the heart was there when you saw these wonderful films

  • GOOD VIDEO!! I remember watchin those movies with my mom wen i was little:)

  • @emerica0707 fucking whoppi

  • This is ah-mazing man, (or lady). Thank you so much for posting this!!!

  • 80's movies were the best!!!

  • @bodhitachi Everyone loves you when you're six foot in the ground. Yeah, the people who he made his films for thought he was great, but he had all but disappeared by the 90s. And a lot of people in the industry though he was difficult to work with, and didn't have any consistency.

    Sources: Entertainment Weekly, New York Times, etc. Since we've both had a fair chance to respond, I don't do YouTube arguments, so you can respond to me privately if you feel you have something else to say.

  • 2:21 good one, love this video

  • Absolutely brilliant! Thank you sooooooooo much! Danke Schön!

  • Though I was in my 30's when the classic John Hughes films swept across the film world in the 80's, I could see through the humor and feel the tenderness and the pain just below the skin; the same that I felt in the late 60's. Nuff said.

  • I will be inspired to do stuff for at least 3 days.

  • John Hughes was so underrated. So sad.

  • @spazola789 John Hughes wasn't underrated?  What planet do you live on? He was critically acclaimed and mad respected.

  • i was yet a child in the 80s i wish i was a teenager in the 80s the 90s sucked

  • @kforcool me too!

  • Cuts were 2 quick at the start, made me feel dizzy and not want to watch it..but by the end I found it very enjoyable b+ ;-)

  • Editing is shit...too many cuts

  • At the end of this video I pumped my fist in the air.

  • did a great job on this

  • what movie is that scene with the blonde woman from? at around 0.15 right in the beginning?

  • @zimThuet It's from Some Kind Of Wonderful (1987).

  • @zimThuet The movie was "Some Kind of Wonderful". Encore cable station is doing an 80's memorial day weekend; some John Hughes films being shown. Gonna be Gnarley watching. I was a teen in the 80's and The Breakfast Club was my fave & Pretty In Pink.

  • What an amazing montage.

    John Hughes was a genius.

    You will be missed.

  • This is so perfect. :)

  • John Hughes was a genious i loved all of his movies but my favorites would have to be SIXTEEN CANDLES AND THE BREAKFAST CLUB

  • 1:04 Which movie ? actor Judd Nelson..

  • @100makro The Breakfast Club. One of Hughes' best and my personal favorite.

  • @smecking Thanks..

    My Fovorite Weird Sciense,Ferris Bueller and Say Anyting

  • @100makro İmprove;Weird Sciense,Ferris Bueller and Some Kind Of Wonderful

  • FERRIS BUELLAR! FAVORTIE MOVIE EVER.

  • Nice. Thank you for not including home alone. You have taste.

  • Lots of other movie clips that could've been included...but good stuff

  • Nice work! 80's 4ever!

  • this is perfect

  • THIS should've been the video tribute they played at the Oscars.

  • This is fantastic. The only thing missing is more Duckie.

  • @raeraeraerae37 i agree needed more Pretty in Pink without a doubt.

  • I love the Breakfast Club! First John Hughes movie I ever saw.. ever since than I have been hooked to all his films.. pure freakin' genuis! Hell, when I graduated High School and was walking the platform and accepted my diploma - I pumped my fist in the air like Judd Nelson at the end of the Breakfast Club!

  • @emerica0707

    Have you seen "Easy A"? It was just released on DVD. HUGE nods to John Hughes films in that movie.

  • this gave me chills. thank you :)

  • FANTASTIC VIDEO! Thank you so much John Hughes for making my teenage years so much fun. The 80 would have never been the same without you. It is nice to see so many young people now who love and respect the things we loved in the 80s. It warms my heart.

  • Love watching this as it reminds me to dig out my John Hughes movies and salute a great man! Thanks!

  • Someday (I TRULY HOPE) that ALL who see a Hughes film realize "this is real life" You my be one of the jocks in this film, of the MIDDLE MAN" Or even the "I would never talk to that person" It's all BULLSHIT! I'm going to leave it at that! Respond to this same post 2 years from now? "Love me? Hate me? You're about to learn a (LIVING) Lesson! xo :-)

  • Brilliant !

  • Now that, that was amazing. That is one of the most amazing, inspiring things I've seen on the internet.

  • Now that, that was amazing. That is one of the most amazing, insipiring things I've seen on the internet.

  • Brilliant! 

  • John Hughes you will always be memoried:) R.I.P.

  • Excellent work

  • I LOVE THE 80'S WOW

  • GREAT MOVIES, GREAT SONG. R I P JOHNNY!!!!!

  • HI YES I NEED THE LISTED OF ALL THIS MOVIES A.S.P

  • LOVE! <3

  • What I wouldn't give to be this age in the 80's

  • One of the greatest tunes!

  • ONE OF THE BEST John Hughes tributes!!!! Thanx for acknowledging his work! =)

  • Great video! I loved being a teenager in the 80's! :)

  • @str8tup jealous!!

  • @str8tup Me too! It was the best decade!

  • @str8tup i wish i was an 80s teen

  • Awesome montage! Awesome movies!  Awesome song!

  • Gives me the chills, & SO many memories..

  • As a man staring 40 in the face, John Hughes was my teenage years, at least a very large part of the cinematic side. RIP to both John and my teenage years, how I miss them both.

  • my god-i grew up with all these great movies,planes,trains,ferris,16 candles,pretty in pink,some kind of,breakfast club and many more.RIP John Hughes,a director of his genre(teen comedy,comedy,comedy/drama) will never get the respect they deserve even though he was a part of many of our youths.great choice of song as well.To be a teenager again!!

  • ferris bueler, the breakfast club, and planes trains and automobiles are the best movies ever!

  • i love his movies but why did he use the same actors ? i mean love them just wondering

  • also i always wanted to know who made this song thanks,i kinda thought it was Thin Lizzy or something.>_>

  • ah the classic,nothing can beat the 80's films! John Hughes was a legend,he created a whole new genere of fims.

  • I love how most of his movie were set in or near Chicago, because im from Chicago:P

  • This vid made me sad.. cause i love all this movies. I was born in 80's and it brought some memories!

    Thanks for the clip!

    From Brazil!

  • Man I am so glad I got to grow up in the 80's I wouldn't change it for anything!

  • "The Breakfast Club" was my hands down my all-time favorite. It really showed the world how incredibly talented actors like Molly Ringwald and Emilio Estevez were around the 80's. I'm only 22, so seeing these movies now, I have so much respect for actors like those two who pioneered the way for the next generation of talent. Molly Ringwald is my favorite actress from the 80's. She looks so young at 2:40. Sad that her acting career isn't as big as it used to be. Loved her crying scene also.

  • Epic compilation awesome job

  • best video I found all night I was sooo happy when i saw this<3

  • Such A damn Legend R.I.P. John Hughes

  • i miss you john hughes. everytime i watch the church scene in home alone, where the choir are singing, it makes me sad.

    R.I.P

  • Nice work. But why use an uber '70s song? There has to be a thousand catchy tunes from the '80s that could have been used for this. A mix of tunes from soundtracks of Hughe's movies would be perfect. Anyhow, nice video, regardless. Love all of these flicks.

  • This was by far one of the greatest gosh darn film montages I have ever seen 8{']...

  • Beam me back Scottie!The 80s ruled.Nice video!!!

  • very well done. what happened to She's Having a Baby? otherwise very well done.

  • What ever happen to the socks with the different color rings around them. You can't find those any more.

  • Wow- I can't tell you the last time I watched a 5 minute video on YTube---

    Excellent...

  • Smoke up Johnny

  • 80's ROCK

  • put john candy in it,it'll make it just right

  • CSI NY's theme song?

  • great montage...wonderful job.

  • The Breakfast Club is the best movie EVER!!!

  • WOW.

  • Best thing about this video = the awesome clips from classic films.

    Second best thing? You didn't over-edit it, no stupid cuts or annoying transitions. You let moments and images speak for themselves, or linger long enough to remind us of the full scenes. Well done, and thank you.

  • two words - total genius! :) whoever put this together - BRAVO! :)

  • Another youtube GEM !

  • awesome video

  • Cool video, the Teens movies only worked in 1980'S!

  • Great Job....

  • GREAT !!!!!!! love this tribute! John Hughes was the best!

  • This was amazing. You should be proud of yourself my friend.

    I love the song. Fits well

  • I'm 35, 2 kids etc... but I still watch JH movies to remind myself that life is good :-)

  • Great job!

  • lovable and memorable movies, john was the best.

  • only one year shy of his 60th birthday.

  • Congratulations!!!

    Great montage!!!

    John Hughes was the best in 80´s!!!

  • When I learned that he had died at the end of the "Don't You Forget About Me" Docymentary I'll admit that I cried.

  • john hughes was a loser to the fullest and doesn't deserve a tribute of any kind. if he wanted to be in the spotlight all he had to do was ask but instead he stayed in his house because he thought he would live forever, shows what he knew. he did make good movies though to bad he was such a loser and stopped making them. p.s. maybe he should have been more respectful to his fans and the people he worked with then this might not have happened

    P.s.s. you should watch "don't you forget about me".
