For the Poll, I stuck mainly with his most well known works
which covers both Writing and Directing chairs. I think it's
safe to say that his absolute best work came when he was doing
it all from writing, producing and directing his movies all at
once. But that doesn't always translate to huge box office
numbers though. His biggest hit, money-wise is of course Home
Alone.
For me, this is the easiest pick I will ever have in any poll.
The best and greatest John Hughes movie of all time is of course
The Breakfast Club. Not only is this his best for this Poll, but
since the day it came out, TBC has been in my Top 3 movies of
all time. I can't tell you how many times I have watched and
rewatched TBC. Well over a hundred is not out of reach. I just
think it was one of those once in a lifetime events where
everything came together to create a lasting legacy that just
keeps getting better and better of the years. Lightening In A
Bottle comes to mind. And never does it ever feel dated.
Everyone can relate to one or more of the characters in the
movie and that includes the Janitor and the Principle.
As much love as I have for TBC, I'd be remissed not to mention
some of my other faves of his: Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Sixteen
Candles, Planes Trains and Automobiles, which by the way is a
family tradition wherein we have watched the movie every single
Thanksgiving Day for the better part of 15 years straight....or
close to that number.
Long live John Hughes. RIP

I reeeeeeeeeeeally hope that the Q&A with the original cast from
The Breakfast Club will end up online somewhere so that I can
watch. It is set for Monday September 20, 2011.

Absolutely love Weird Science. Watched it again about a year ago
and it still made me crack up. Other than that, not a big fan.
No knock on the guy at all. I'm just completely ambivalent
towards his movies.

d
and I really hope to see Oil and Vinegar made. Would have been
great to see Molly Ringwald and Matthew Broderick in this. And
who's to say that they can't still star in this. It's not like
Road Trips and Marriage flicks are age specific roles. It would
only be fitting if they actually did this together.

An interesting reading on the feminism, women, and sexual
politics of the John Hughes flicks. And with SO many cited
sources, my god.
