	No director has ever been more synonymous with his era than Hughes with the 1980s. RIP.

	"Planes, Trains and Automobiles" is not accepted unless you use the ampersand? That's...stupid.

	I hear he's popular in heaven. The sportos, the motorheads, geeks, ****s, bloods, waistoids, dweebies, dickheads - they all adore him. They think he's a righteous dude.

	Sad to see. While I was too young for his teen-based movies, I grew up on his adult/family stuff in the late eighties. Sorely under-appreciated as a writer.

	I was shocked to find out he only wrote and didn't direct movies like "Pretty in Pink" and "Some Kind of Wonderful". He also wrote the Vacation movies, as well as "Mr. Mom", "Home Alone" and "The Great Outdoors". He WAS 80s comedy. What a resume.

	Oh man, he did Uncle Buck? Hilarious movie.

	Don't you, forget about him. Don't don't don't dont.

	I feel this doesn't do justice to all the great films he has written and produced. This just shows a brief glimpse of how he touched many people's childhoods. R.I.P. John Hughes.

	High school movies wouldn't be where they were if not for him. RIP John.

	@Hollie Campbell: This is just a list of what he directed. He did write and produce Pretty in Pink but he didn't direct it.

	I can't say anything someone else hasn't already said better... Hughes was a great writer and a great director, and he will most certainly be missed- by me, by people older than me, by people younger than me, and for generations to come. Period.

	Losing John Hughes is No Kind Of Wonderful.

	John Hughes made my teen years and he will be greatly missed. Rest in peace.

	Uhh missed Uncle Buck. Thats such a good movie! RIP. Its weird how so many celebrities have died in the last few months... My fav movies by him are Home Alone, Ferris Buller and Trains Planes and Automobiles. Christmas-time wouldnt be the same without Home Alone!!!

	Oh my gosh I had no idea he was dead! I was like 'Oh, super random' I'm just now waking up and haven't turned on the news, I'm so pissed now. R.I.P John, I lived my entire childhood and teen years out according to your movies.

	Don't spazz out, okay Weez? Situation 'll come on line. Whatsa happenin', hot stuff? Incredible loss for any movie fan. His films were iconic.

	Am I the only one who thought John Hughes directed Pretty in Pink and Home Alone? What the heck. Rest in Peace, JH.

	Would love to see the movies he wrote as bonus answers. Or a quiz combining them

	He gets points from me just for dropping the improvisational weirdness of John Paxton on my consciousness: "How 'bout a nice greasy pork sandwich served in a dirty ashtray?"

	Oh sexy girlfriend..... I loved John Hughes movies! He influenced my childhood like no other! RIP

	evadr:	Aug 7th, 2009 at 19:42 GMT	0 points
	I thought I heard on the radio yesterday that he did two Home Alone movies too. I am in Chicago, so there was alot on the radio yesterday.

	evadr:	Aug 7th, 2009 at 19:51 GMT	0 points
	Ah, already answered - he wrote them but did not direct them.

	Pretty In Pink? Some Kind of Wonderful? Home Alone? ... Oh boy. Still one of the most touching lines I've ever heard is: "When you grow up, your heart dies." "Who cares." "... I care."
