Wow, first Farrah and Michael, and now John Hughes. My adolescent and teenage years are fast becoming a faint memory.
Hughes either directed, produced (or both) some of the most popular and lucrative movies of the 1980's and early 1990's. A glimpse of his brilliance (WARNING: F-bombs aplenty):
"Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it." - Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986)
We'll miss you, Mr. Hughes.
UPDATE: A nice testimonial to the character of John Hughes. Robert Thorn, your admiration for the man and his body of work is well placed...

John Hughes owned the 80's. He will be missed.
His movies were funny, clever, and poignant all without being over the top. Now I love crossing the line for humor, but I appreciate and respect that he could make me laugh without having to do so. I don't really get bummed about "celebrities" passing, but his makes me feel a bit sentimental for those days I don't mind tell you.
Mr. Thorn, you said, "I don't really get bummed about "celebrities" passing, but his makes me feel a bit sentimental for those days..." I believe you've captured it.
For the majority of the 80's, I was in my 20's. His passing makes me too feel a bit sentimental, and also old!
