John Hughes is one of the reasons why Generation X is the envy of every generation that came after. Nothing comes close to the 1980s.

Spot on!! I can't tell you how many times my kids and their friends have said that to me. These reactors on this very channel say it all the time. The 80's ruled and we were the last of the coolest teenage generations. We all got along with each other, and understood our troubles and sorrows were to allow to us to enjoy and appreciate the good times in between. Long Live John Hughes and Generation X 🤘

80s/90s last decades i.m.o. that had an identity. I was their glad i was watching computers come to life watching the change from glitzy excess of 80s to grungy angst of 90s was very interesting. Vanilla ice was turning point in my mind. Thats last real 80s thing i remember being mainstream. Thats obviously false memory but it was great times b4 human communication had changed in 50yrs. So very social community feel more so than now

Agreed. Thing is, even if the scripts could be somehow recovered, I doubt that anyone today could ever bring them to such epic, crowd-pleasing fruition, the way Hughes and his great actors (and his great film editors!) did.

Its absolutely amazing how a man born in 1950 could completely encapsulate and personify the spirit of the 80s like he did. His teen movies are timeless classics that continue to speak to every new generation because they reflect the human experience which is in itself timeless and forever relatable.

John Hughes was hands down one of the best of all time. In the 80s, we didn't really pay much attention to critics, we all hung out and went to see movies. I was never disappointed when Hughes was involved. I also still believe that "Some Kind of Wonderful" is one of the greatest movies of all time. RIP John, we miss your talent.

John Hughes was the 1980’s version of Frank Capra. While Capra’s films presented idealistic visions of America during depression/WWII era America Hughes’ films presented adolescents in the ColdWar era an America that was so familiar that you felt it existed and at the same time you knew didn’t exist. Both served to comfort, entertain & inspire their target audiences when they needed it most.

Not that causes weren't ok, but they need to be put in context of the real world...and with a sense of humor. John Hughes brilliance.

John Hughes has written and directed some of my most favorite movies. I like how he's able to create characters you can relate too, even if they're put into situations that require you to suspend disbelief. Successfully combining realism with ego driven fantasy, and not coming off as perverted or racist, is not an easy task. It takes somewhat of a dark since of humor to appreciate Hughes's writing :)

God, he was brilliant. Being a great director is difficult enough of a job to do, and he was all world at that, but then to also be able to write scripts? And AMAZING AND TIMELESS ONES, is just incredible talent. Guys like Kubrick, Coppola, Stone, and others are GREAT, but they arent any better than John Hughes. I think hes the most talented film maker of all time. Bar none.
