That's a damn shame. Some of my favorite movies were done by him.

Without Mr. Hughes, my teenage years would lack a point of reference. I thank him in postmortem for his art.

The Breakfast Club and Planes, Trains and Automobiles are true classics. I also loved Pretty in Pink. The man made some of my favorite movies of all time.
