|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board OT - RIP John Hughes Tim Snow, Photographer Montreal | Qc | Canada | Posted: 11:57 AM on 08.07.09 ->> Much has been said about the people who have passed in the last few weeks, but I must say the one who touched my life the most was John Hughes through his iconic movies. I was born in '78, so my formative years were spent watching his films, and they probably shaped me and my hopeless romantic persona more than anything (there is a little bit of Duckie and Clark Griswold all of us...)  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Probably some of the most memorable films for anyone who lived through the 80s.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

How great and simple was Breakfast Club. Amazing what can be done with a small budget and a lot of talent.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Not only were his movies great, but the soundtracks were pretty good too!  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Breakfast Club had so many future stars in it it's almost unbelievable. I had a check up with my cardiologist yesterday and they took me off some drugs. John Hughes had a heart attack and died. Guys in particular, get yourself checked out. Don't ignore the signs.. they ARE there. RIP Mr. Hughes.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
