R.I.P. John Hughes
We lost a good one yesterday. The man who gave us Ferris Bueller; The Griswolds; Trains, Planes and Automobiles; Uncles Buck; Home Alone; 16 Candles; The Breakfast Club and many many more. John Hughes was a great Chicagoan and a great film maker. He was 59.
Check out this tribute video. Could have been more comprehensive, but mad props for the use of Baba O'Reilly:
