RIP John Hughes.
And anyone who says they didn't like Ferris Bueller or wish they where Ferris Bueller is lying!
I can still watch that film today and be just as entertained now as I was then. Nice clean fun, and a movie I can actually sit down with my 11 year old and watch. Brings back a lot of good memories for me from highschool in the 80's.
Yup, John Hughes nailed the 80's teen experience pretty well. Shame he is gone and even a bigger shame he did not do more movies like than recently. But then you cannot recreate the 80's in the grunge loving 90's and the turn of the century crowd...I am not sure if they know what they are. Seems to be a hodge podge of mixing up the 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's all together into one style. I don't know what to call it.
Captcha is "sting" another great 80's icon.
man, he really DID do some cool movies. not the home alone ones of course (although i did watch 1 and 2)
damn the man wrote UNCLE BUCK. i LOVE that movie!
