I can't help but feel sad that John Hughes has died. With classics as Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, and Ferris Bueller's Day Off, he defined the 80s for many of us, not to mention launched the careers for many young actors! John Hughes' movies are timeless, and still continue to provide support for the angst ridden lives of young people. They share those feelings of isolation that characterize the teenage years, while showing us the humor that can be found in them. His movies also prove to be a historic log of the fashion of the eighties; a fashion statement that has been recycled these last couple of years. I personally love his movies and can watch them over and over. One quote from Ferris Bueller's Day Off has especially influenced my life and seems even more relevant today than ever, "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it." Thank you, John Hughes...
