John Hughes films...

[YKTMX]

I was wondering what you folks think of John Hughes: or, to be more specific, his films.

He's made movies such as the Breakfast Club ('Does Barry Manilow know you raid his wardrobe?' :lol: ), Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Pretty In Pink, Sixteen Candles, Uncle Buck etc.

I was just wondering because, when I was about 16 - you know, hormonal and stroppy, not like now... - I really fell in love with his movies (yes, I'm a bit of a wimp). Now, I still like them, though, perhaps, I don't "get" them as much as I once did.

Anyway, for anyone feeling lonely and misunderstood, I reccomend John Hughes!

:D

His films are some of my favorites, especially the Brat Pack movies. They are all hilarious in a way, sort of deep, okay, so maybe not Home Alone, or some of his newer ones, but they're still funny. And he has a lot of classic movies, that everyone should see.

Edit: however looking at his profile on imdb.com, he has also made a lot of extremely bad movies, like all the Beethoven movies, Home Alone 3, and 4, "Flubber", and Maid in Manhattan.

BETHANY: You're a man of principle. Where do you come from?

JAY: We used to live in a small town in Jersey. Real small town. We practically
knew everybody.

BETHANY: What brought you to McHenry?

JAY: Hollywood.

BETHANY: (beat) Hollywood?

JAY: Oh yeah. See, we used to sell smoke in front of this video store. And one day this fuck wants to rent a video. So we did, only we didn't have anyplace to watch it. So we went to the mall and popped it into a VCR at Macy's and sat on the floor and watched it. It was called 'Sixteen Candles'. Did you ever see it?

BETHANY: Yes.

JAY: So the next day we rented 'The Breakfast Club', and then 'Weird Science' where these two fucks have a chick that'll do anything for them and they don't do nothing because it's a PG movie. But then we got thrown out of Macy's when we watched 'Pretty in Pink', because of this *****.

(points to Silent Bob)

BETHANY: (to Silent Bob) What'd you do?

JAY: You know how at the end the red-headed ***** gets together with her dream guy at the prom?

(Bethany nods)

Well pussy here starts fuckin' sobbing all sorts of loud and shit. And the manager's like "Get the hell out of here!" And I'm like "Fuck you, you bald cocksucker! I'll kick your lard..

BETHANY: (speeding him along) So what exactly brought you to Illinois?

JAY: Oh yeah. See, all these movies take place in a town called Shermer, in Illinois. And there's all this fine bush running around, and we could kick all the dude's asses because they're all whiney pussies. Except Judd Nelson - he was harsh. But best of all, there was no one selling weed. So I says to Silent Bob "Man, we could live phat if we were the blunt-connection in Shermer, Illinois!" So we collected some cash we were owed, and caught a bus. But when we got here, you know what we found out? There is no Shermer in Illinois. What kind of shit is that?! Fucking movies are bullshit!

BETHANY: And now you live here?

JAY: Fuck that. This berg sucks. Everyone talks with a stupid accent so you don't know what they're saying, and it's too fuckin' cold. We were talking about taking off. Until we met you, that is.
