John Hughes: 1950-2009


John Hughes - director/screenwriter/producer - brought us such generation-defining films as Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink and Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Born in Lansing, MI, Hughes moved to Illinois with his family at age thirteen, and his new home would provide the setting for many of his films. While he will best be remembered as the laureate of suburban teens everywhere, John Hughes had his hands in a number of comedy and family films that left an indelible imprint on American popular culture (such as Uncle Buck and the Home Alone series).
