I didn't even get a CNN.com breaking news email about this. I am very upset. Much of my childhood was spent watching John Hughes' movies. Sixteen Candles was Elena and my's favorite movie and we watched it incessantly when we would go stay at our aunt Sandy's house in Darlington. We would spout the line "Can I borrow your underwear for 10 minutes?" and just fall over laughing hysterically. And who could forget Long Duk Dong? Or Jake Ryan (how dreamy!)? We were incredibly envious of Ferris Bueller ( and his sneaky way of getting what he wanted but mostly for getting out of school as that was what we all really wanted at the time.
Reading about him, I was surprised to find that he wrote and produced Planes, Trains and Automobiles and Home Alone, two films I also love to this day.
His movies defined and era, bad fashion and all, and I am incredibly sad to find out of his death. He will be missed.
