Down With The Teens
"The 1961 Ferrari 250 GT California ... Ooooo Yeah."
John Hughes, director and writer of some of the 80s best loved comedies passed away at the weekend at the age of 59. His greatest achievement is universally acknowledged in his portrayl of teenagers - too often characterised as immoral and ignorant - Hughes chosen to listen to and respect them and in doing so created a number of movies that perfectly captured the spirit of 1980s America.
The most timeless of these remains Ferris Bueller's Day Off. If the success of this film owed a great deal to the on-screen talent of a young Matthew Broderick, it also benefited from Hughes' sharp script and direction.
"...Ferris, he never drives it, he just rubs it with a diaper..." Screenplay brilliance that will be remembered forever.

He'll be sadly missed. 'Weird Science' is my own personal Hughes favourite, but I also have to admit a soft spot for 'Home Alone 1 & 2' - is that wrong?!
