    If you grew up in the 80's you know who he is.

    John Hughes, the Chicago-based filmmaker who redefined the teen movie in the '80s with his sympathetic comedies about the joys and heartbreak of high school life, died Thursday of a heart attack in New York. He was 59.

    Hughes suffered the heart attack while taking a morning walk while visiting family members in Manhattan, his representatives said.

    They were talking about this guy on the ticket here yesterday

    I honestly didn't recognize his name, but then they mentioned 16 candles, Breakfast Club and of course one of my top 5 of all times, Ferris Bueller.
    This man was PURE GENIOUS, yet I didn't recognize his name

    RIP and thanks for helping me grow uo

    This was already posted in the lounge, but gives me a second chance to say "Dong, where is my automobile?"
