A prolific writer, director and producer in the 1980s and early 1990s, John Hughes was the guiding force behind some of the most popular teen-oriented comedies of the period, including "National Lampoon's Vacation" (1983), "Sixteen Candles" (1984), "The Breakfast Club" (1985) and "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" (1986). Though his stock in trade was broad, he had a particular gift for the speech and emotions of middle-class suburban youth, who were portrayed in his films with a complexity and respect rarely afforded to them in major Hollywood features. Hughes' popularity appeared to fall off after the blockbuster holiday hit "Home Alone" (1990), though he remained active as a screenwriter, often under his pen name of Edmond Dantes. His films were frequently cited as a major influence on writers and directors who toiled in the teen movie field. |

That one is a movie I can watch over, and over.
"We've been drinking!"
"Yes Officer, I do feel that this vehicle IS safe for highway travel! And the radio still works, clear as a bell!"
"Try these earrings on, they make you look 'older' "
OMG, that was a perfect film! And I left out the rental car rant as I don't need another suspension. |

My absolute favorite movie of all time is Christmas Vacation.

I want him brought from his happy holiday slumber over there on Melody Lane with all the other rich people and I want him brought right here, with a big ribbon on his head, and I want to look him straight in the eye and I want to tell him what a cheap, lying, no-good, rotten, fore-fleshing, low-life, snake-licking, dirt-eating, inbred, overstuffed, ignorant, blood-sucking, dog-kissing, brainless, dickless, hopeless, heartless, fat-ass, bug-eyed, stiff-legged, spotty-lipped, worm-headed sack of monkey shit he is. Hallelujah. Holy shit. Where's the Tylenol?

I watch it all year long. |

We watch it once a year. On Christmas Eve, after our Church Service.
Our kids especially like it because its "R" and they NEVER get to watch R movies.
You can't beat that film for funny. |

He did 'Planes, Trains and Automobiles' too ?
His other films were great but that film was one I'd watch over and over again, and still laugh, and I don't laugh easily at films. One of those rare occassions when the script and actors combine perfectly.
It's always sad when some fun leaves the world. |
