Very sad, I enjoyed watching Christmas Vacation, the Home Alone franchise (Not number 4), and Beethoven.  My parents are fans of his other works.  He shall be missed.  It's been a bad summer for celebrites.

My favorite film of his is Planes, Trains and Automobiles.  A true classic.  Amazing how well known he is as a director, considering he was only active doing that for for 7 years and produced just 8 films.  But when you've got PT and A, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Uncle Buck and The Breakfast Club (not to mention writing Vacation), it's one hell of a 7 year run.

RIP.

One of the funniest movies ever made! 

  My Mom loved that stupid movie The Great Outdoors. When John Candy shoots the hair off the bears butt, I thought she was going to fall off her chair.

Anybody that could make my mom laugh that hard deserves a spot in Heaven.



And you thought Trek isn't cool.

R.I.P. Mr. Hughes.  Thank for the many great films and the many great memories of your films as a child of the 80's.

BTW, I got this link off of AICN and I agree with them that it says a ton of great of a person that John Hughes actually was.
