I love all those movies except Planes, Trains, and Automobiles (Never seen that one)and I wasn't even a teen in the 80's

Too young and too soon. Sad to hear.

The Molly Ringwald trilogy and Ferris Bueller are some of my favorite "80s" flicks. RIP Mr Hughes.

Breakfast Club is to this day a great movie...... RIP

Dear Mr. Vernon, we accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday in detention for whatever it was we did wrong. But we think you're crazy to make an essay telling you who we think we are. You see us as you want to see us... In the simplest terms, in the most convenient definitions. But what we found out is that each one of us is a brain... and an athlete... and a basket case... a princess... and a criminal... Does that answer your question?... Sincerely yours, the Breakfast Club.

Wow...only 59...that's frightening.

Oh man, you absolutely have to see that one, it's a classic. Seriously, rent it, or blind buy it, you won't be disappointed.

There are tons of his films that were a big part of my teenage years and beyond. RIP Mr. Hughes.
