John Hughes is Dead

He's not well known, at least by name. But he's dead. He was the undisputed king of the 80's comedy, writing screenplays for Pretty in Pink, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, The Great Outdoors and many others. Beyond his gift for writing funny comedy, he had a heart and wasn't afraid to bring that to his scripts. Movies like Uncle Buck, The Breakfast Club and Trains, Planes and Automobiles were as hilarious as they were human, compassionate. Hughes' movies are some of the only ones that I will watch over and over.

One of the funniest scenes in movie history:

Hope you knew Jesus, hope you trusted in him, John.
