R.I.P. John Hughes
This Woman's Work - Kate Bush
From She's Having a Baby
Don't You Forget About Me - Simple Minds
From The Breakfast Club
Twist and Shout - The Beatles
From Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Oh. My. God. I can't tell you what a shock this is. John Hughes's movies were such a landmark in my life. They came along in my twenties, so they were not the enormous influence that they were for the teens during their heyday - the 80's and early 90's - but I still loved the films. The Breakfast Club in particular, as I identified with Allison, the little proto-goth played by Ally Sheedy.
Dropped dead of a heart attack while jogging. What a way to fucking go.
THANK YOU, man. Nobody captured the weird combination of misery and delight that equals youth the way you did. You brought me a lot of joy and gave me some insight as well.
*sad sigh*
