John Hughes was the definitive King of 80's Teen Comedies. He influenced many contemporary filmmakers, and his stories and characters are timeless. ♥️

Weird Science is my favourite of the 3, but there is no way it would work if they tried to remake it today.

Same here. Sometimes I talk along with it. Same with Jules's dialogue with Ringo and the Ezekiel 25:17 reference. I can pretty much recite it. And that's taken decades of rewatching, I've always admired actor's ability to memorize lines. Especially stage actors.

Sixteen Candles is hilarious! I grew up with it and people need to lighten up. These ultra PC times we live in are boring. “ look how woke I am, and don’t my farts smell so good” ? Just get over your pretentious self and learn how to enjoy a comedy from the eighties.

@Scottocaster6668 8 ай бұрын

RIGHT ON!!! That's why these 80's movies are classics, and these pc , butthurt movies NEVER will be. You can't change the product of the times, it was what it was. Next they'll be offended because Long duck Dong used forks like chopsticks instead of real ones.😆😆

Please cover, "Some Kind of Wonderful.". It's Hughes's most underrated film.

AMH is easily one of the best actors of the Brat Pack. Beyond his work in the Hughes films, he was stellar as the antagonist in Scissorhands and he gave a great solo performance in Out of Bounds (1986). The character Daryl Cage was a true departure from anything he'd done prior.

The Gedde Wantanabe character , I guess could theoretically be ‘offensive’; but , Gedde , to me, created a caricature. He’s Asian, unlike Mickey Rooney, who truly was offensive with his stupid false teeth. I mean, come on, the character’s name was Long Duck Dong. Why not animate it with the silly accent?

God I miss the genius of John Hughes. Pretty in Pink remains one of my favourite movies and the band Molly Ringwald featured on her binder (The Rave Ups) also appeared in Pretty in Pink.

Welp! Just helped me get through a nice chunk of time at work going down memory lane. Born in 81' myself, W.S. is probably my favorite as its so wild, followed naturally by the B.C. But honestly how you gonna forget to include the Sixteen Candles scene in the first Harold&Kumar flick? Booo! Nah its cool 👍

OF COURSE it's unfair to judge these movies by contemporary standards. But what else does Gen Y or Z have to do with their time? Create their own movies? Obviously not. They're left with little else to occupy themselves beside shitting on other people.

Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, and Pretty In Pink were the first 3 true teen movies he did. I know he didn’t direct Pretty In Pink, but it’s still considered a John Hughes classic.

I think the days of method actors acting is like a holes to their cast mates in order to get into character are over. Especially with the me too movement and zero tolerance for bullying and harassment. I also think there’s something inherently selfish in that approach. It’s very centered on one’s self, and not taking into consideration what other actors need to perform. So the take home was Judd was a real schmuck, at least during that movie.

Agreed. I think the days of method acting are done.

In Brazil, Weird Science got out as "Mulher Nota 1000". Hard to translate. Here quizzes are graded from 0 to 10 or 100, depending on the school, so a "1000-grade woman" is something like a "A++++ woman" for Americans.
