Earlier this week director John Hughes passed away at the age of 59. It's kind of shocking he died from a heart attack relatively young. Hughes, of course, is best know for his eighties teen comedies including Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Sixteen Candles and The Breakfast Club, a movie I still love. While he continued writing and producing films through the nineties and aughts, Hughes hadn't actually directed a film since 1991's Curly Sue, deciding, instead, to retire from the public life. His eighties efforts, however, will cement his status in pop culture history.
