John Hughes Knew Our Secret: No One Fit In in High School
- pasbesoin 17y agoI grew up very close in time and location to the settings of Hughes' 80's films. Perhaps that's why they seemed so immediate to me. Unrelated, more recently my father got to know Hughes, a bit. I was never privy to those conversations, but I will say that my father is a very knowledgeable and intellectual person. To the point where, entirely in good will, he can almost overwhelm you with both knowledge and carefully thought out insight on your topic of choice. That Hughes chose to continue to have and even seek out, as chance allowed, conversations with him, impresses me of itself. And I thank him, as it was a relationship that my father greatly enjoyed, as well. RIP, Mr. Hughes. We won't forget about you.
- zandorg 17y agoI was overjoyed to find a director's commentary for amongst my favourite films ever: Ferris Bueller's Day Off, on the DVD. One thing I said in 1998 is that I wish they had a device to erase movies like Ferris Bueller from your memory so you can watch and enjoy them again and again!
