He was a legend. He created his own brand of comedy that dominated the 80s and early 90s. He will definitely be missed

Wow.

Weird Science was probably my favorite movie as a teenager. Sad he passed at such a young age.

This guy's movies are like the soundtrack of my life from middle school to high school.

Uncle Buck, The Great Outdoors, Planes, Trains & Automobiles, Vacation, Christmas Vacation all rank right up there on my list.

Uncle Buck, The Great Outdoors, Planes, Trains & Automobiles, Vacation, Christmas Vacation all rank right up there on my list.

Substitute Ferris Bueller's Day Off for Planes, Trains & Automobiles, and that's my Top 5.

If you liked '80s movies, I'd say odds are you like at least one John Hughes movie.

Never said it wasn't. It's just not in my Top 5. As many great movies as John Hughes had, it would be easy for people to have completely different lists.

Genius, Legend, Visionary. These words and there implications all fit.
