John Hughes whose movies have become a rite of passage for teens since the mid-’80s passed away today from a heart attack at the way too young age of 59 according to The Hollywood Reporter. He died today while talking a walk in Manhattan.
Some of the movies he is most known for are 16 Candles, The Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, Some Kind of Wonderful, Pretty in Pink, Weird Science and Home Alone. All movies that have shaped and will continue to shape teens forever. I still remember when I turned 16 and looking the mirror thinking just like Molly Ringwald, I still looked the same.
John Hughes us survived by his wife of 39 years, 2 sons and 4 grandkids. So sad.
So everyone go watch at least one of his movie tonight as an honor the brilliant cinematic legacy he leaves behind.
