R.I.P. King of '80s Cinema


John Hughes died this past week at the age of 59. He's known for writing, directing and producing dozens of popular films, such as Ferris Bueller's Day Off and The Breakfast Club. Love him or leave him, his 1980s films shape the way we still view that decade. He had a way of capturing teenage desperation, boredom and humor like no other director has.

Hughes was an amazing man in the film industry... He was gone much too soon and will be missed.
