John Hughes made over 40 movies in his lifetime.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary Writer-director John Hughes made a name for himself in the 1980s for his hit coming-of-age films, including The Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, and more. In addition to his hits, John Hughes has many underrated movies with over 40 films made. Hughes started as an author for National Lampoon magazine in the 1970s, which led to his film debut, National Lampoon’s Class Reunion.
With his coming-of-age films, Hughes was known for sneaking important life messages within the comedy and romance. He was credited for accurately portraying the teenage experience, despite being a man in his 30s at the time. As actress Ally Sheedy said in the Academy Awards tribute to John Hughes, he was “a modern-day Peter Pan.
13 “If Somebody Doesn’t Believe In Me, I Can’t Believe In Them.” Pretty In Pink Pretty in Pink was John Hughes’ second of three films with Molly Ringwald, who played the popular girl Claire in The Breakfast Club. Ringwald played Andie Walsh, a lower-class high schooler who is bullied by the rich and popular kids. Shockingly, one of the preppy boys, Blane, asks her out.
Cousin Eddie is one of the best comedic reliefs in the films, and when Aunt Bethany's cat gets electrocuted, he dishes out the witty remark. It’s a quick and simple line, but it perfectly represents Hughes’ humor, which was often sarcastic and clever. The Vacation series was famous for its recasting, but nobody but Quaid ever played Eddie.
Director John Hughes Release Date August 2, 1985 Writers John Hughes Cast Bill Paxton , Robert Downey Jr. , Ilan Mitchell-Smith , Anthony Michael Hall , Robert Rusler , Kelly LeBrock Runtime 94 minutes 9 “Spend A Little More Time Trying To Do Something With Yourself And A Little Less Time Trying To Impress People. You Might Be Better Off” The Breakfast Club The Breakfast Club may have been the John Hughes film that taught the most important life lessons.
When a pair of thieves played by Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern learned he was home alone, they attempted to rob the wealthy family, leaving Kevin to defend his home. During the movie, Kevin watches a violent fake film where a character says “Keep the change, ya filthy animal” after killing his enemy. Kevin replays the clip as one of the robbers stands outside his window, making him believe the character is actually in the house with a gun.
6 “A Person Should Not Believe In An -Ism; He Should Believe In Himself.” Ferris Bueller’s Day Off Ferris Bueller’s Day Off has an embarrassment of riches when it comes to iconic scenes. It sets the right tone immediately with Ferris’ opening monologue, which once again breaks the fourth wall. As a 1980s film, the monologue naturally starts with him watching MTV before he moves around his house, ending up in the shower.
4 “Well, You Think What You Want About Me, I’m Not Changing. I Like Me. My Wife Likes Me. My Customers Like Me. Cause I’m The Real Article. What You See Is What You Get.” Planes, Trains and Automobiles Hughes may be best remembered for his coming-of-age films, but he moved away from teenage characters in 1987 for Planes,Trains and Automobiles. The film stars Steve Martin as Neal, a high-strung marketing executive, and John Candy as Del, a kind but irritating salesman.
3 “I Want You To Like Me For What I Am.” Weird Science Gary and Wyatt created Lisa as their perfect woman in Weird Science, but cheerleaders Deb and Hilly are their dream girls. After a party goes wrong, Lisa has a gang of mutant bikers crash their party, so the boys can save the cheerleaders and impress them. The ridiculous plan works, and Wyatt kisses Hilly before dropping her off.
