John Hughes is Dead

Awww man, not that he made anything good in the last decade but John Hughes is now dead, age 59, from a heart attack.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Prolific film writer and director John Hughes, whose credits include the '80s teen films "The Breakfast Club" and "Ferris Bueller's Day Off," died of a heart attack while walking in Manhattan on Thursday, his spokesman said. He was 59.

Hughes also made Macaulay Culkin a star, writing and producing the three "Home Alone" movies. His spokesman said Hughes was visiting friends in New York when he died.

In the last decade, Hughes had largely turned his back on Hollywood to run a farm in northern Illinois. He is survived by his wife of 39 years, Nancy, two sons and four grandchildren.

While I was not a fan of the Home Alone movies, what child of the eighties can say they didn't enjoy one of the first movies we saw to show being a"bad" kid, got you the girl? I loved The Breakfast Club movie and still own the DVD!
