John Hughes, producer-director of some of the most iconic films of the 80s, dies of a heart attack at age 59. When I look back, I can't believe how much Hughes was a part of my cinema-going upbringing. And so I officially dedicate this month's Tremendo Time theme to the man who brought us the tear-drenching classics Class Reunion, She's Having a Baby, and Nate and Hayes. Good night, funny billionaire man.What's your favorite John Hughes movie? Leave a comment below!

Weird Science by far. Oingo Boingo music, a talking pile of shit, a super model saying "You're out of shape, I'll kick your arse." What more could you want?
He'll be missed.
The Great Outdoors. Totally underratted flick!
Uncle Buck!
Planes, Trains, and Automobiles is wonderful and I never get tired of watching it. The family pops the DVD in every Thanksgiving after the gorging. It's been our tradition for at least 15 years now. I have Mr. Hughes to thanks for that (and the equally missed Mr. Candy). Thank you, John for all the great movies you've left us.
How can you choose? Sixteen Candles (I stayed up on the eve of my 16th just to be watching at midnight)Who doesn't quote Long Duck Dong, "What's er harppenin hart stuff?" Pretty in Pink (You gotta love the Duck-man) So many more..the man knew the adolescent mind. You will be missed/
