John Hughes, the man behind the cam in such films as "Pretty in Pink", "Sixteen Candles", "The Breakfast Club", "Planes Trains and Automobiles", "Ferris Bueller's Day Off", "National Lampoon's Vacation" , and "Home Alone". John Hughes was also a contributing writer to "Animal House".
And those were just his hits.
If you were a young person living in the western world in the 1980s you were affected by this man.
He died today while taking a morning walk in Manhattan, and was fifty nine years old.
I only know this man through his films, and can only respond by saying - thank you for the incredible movies.
Warning to assholes: I don't mind if you don't like John Hughes, or if you have an axe to grind with me. If you don't have anything relevant to add - keep it to yourself. Any personal attacks - using this blog post as an excuse will be deleted - and I don't give a shit how long I've known you.
