Favorite John Hughes Directed Movie

[Master Scottb]

Which John Hughes directed movie is your favorite?

[Accursed Arachnid!™]

Hmmm, are we really that old?"John Hughes? Have the Hughes brothers made a good movie yet?"

[MagnetMan]

That vote was harder than I thought it would be. Through various stages of life, it would be different ones. Planes, Trains & Automobiles definitely as an adult/parent. Weird Science in early college. Ferris Bueller in late teens and Sixteen Candles during early teens.

Choosing between The Breakfast Club and Planes, Trains, and Automobiles is a hard one, but I have to give the edge to the Breakfast Club since it weaves comedy and drama so brilliantly.

[DAR]

Tough choice but I went with Bueller

[yads]

When I was a kid definitely Ferris, now probably Planes, Trains and Automobiles.

[Jack Nevada]

Breakfast Club is a masterpiece. I do love P,T&A too

[baumer]

I'm not sure how to pick just one. Every film except Curly Sue is fantastic in its own right. I chose Ferris,but really, Sixteen, TBC, WS, PTA could all take the cake.

[Kvikk Lunsj]

The Breakfast Club.

[The Toymaker]

Easily Uncle Buck.

[baumer]

IMO, John Hughes is one of the best film makers of his generation.

[TheMovieman]

1. Ferris Bueller's Day Off2. Planes, Trains and Automobiles3. The Breakfast Club

[Michael Gary Scott]

Bet I'm the only one who votes for curly sue

The Breakfast Club, easily. One of my favorite movies, and it's the perfect humorous portrayal of teen angst. Ferris Bueller is also great, of course.

Agreed. PTA Ferris and TBC are all fantastic films. Tough to choose.

i picked sixteen candles, co-2nd would be the breakfast club and she's having a baby!

 

 i remember thanks to this film wanting my 16th birthday to be great , lets just say it was equally as dismalling as hers turned out to be , a day to forget and alas no happy ending lol,

 

 the nerd in the film i cannot get over who he is today , he was like the quintessential nerd who make people squirm , like i believe even some nerds wouldnt want to associate with him

 

plus there's john cusack in the film, he's so cute(another cursed with the baby face syndrome,he got tall and old but his face hasnt changed) and the exchange student was hilarious!

 

 i love how her family seemed so different from her and yet they felt real as a unit!

She's Having a Baby is the first film I ever cried in. When Woman's Work plays on the soundtrack and Bacon is weeping because of the loss of his child, I lost it. Keep in mind, E.T. came out 5 years earlier and for some reason I didn't cry in that movie. But SHAB had me balling.

its a great film, somehow in my child like eyes it seems like an incredible drama oscar worthy ,i love how vague a memory of a film might be that you saw as a kid but what remains is a feeling an impression a colour, even a scent...

 

like say when i watch a british period film , i remember how i loved and enjoyed my time in england, the scent of the air, the parks, the countryside

Planes, with Bueller a close second.

BC. Molly FTW! I just don`t understand why she disappeared after one-two-three punch of BC, 16 C and OMG Pretty In Pink OMG! Also, why are 80s teen flicks best of any era teen flicks?
