All of us here at Andrew and J.J. are sad to learn of the loss of John Hughes. Ironically, just last night as we taped the shows for next week, J.J. brought in the idea of suggesting Breakfast Club as our rental for the weekend feature.
Do yourself a favor and dive back into that old VHS collection and dig out the classics, the movies that didn't need fancy special effects, giant explosions, or the twisted mind of Michael Bay to make money and entertain the masses. I have long said that Trains, Plains and Automobiles is my favorite film of all time - thanks to John Hughes for making that happen.
If you were a child of the 80s, you were brought up on amazing films like Ferris Bueller's Day Off, you rooted for Kevin McCallister in Home Alone, you enjoyed the ridiculousness of Sixteen Candles, and if you were like me, you watched Uncle Buck over and over until you had it memorized.
Thanks for making 1980s cinema a real golden age, John.
