As you've no doubt heard, John Hughes died today at the age of 59. In some ways this is more bizarre and strange to me than MJ's death. I guess it's just that MJ always seemed older while John Hughes wrote for such a young audience when I was young that I feel like should be closer to my age. Or maybe it's just that his movies helped me understand myself and my world in ways that MJ's music, in all its glory and as much as I loved a lot of it, never could.
And so, in honor of John Hughes, the slideshow of movies he brought us that I particularly loved, and a really interesting take on a way that Hughes has affected cultural ideas: a story on bellaSugar about "How John Hughes Made Quirky Girls the Most Beautiful."
