John Hughes has died of a heart attack.

Hughes suffered the heart attack while taking a morning walk during a trip to NYC to visit family.

He directed such hits as “The Breakfast Club,” “Pretty in Pink,” “Sixteen Candles” and “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.”

Oh son of a bitch, Ferris Bueller is one of my favorite movies.

If you wanted to get a true feeling of American culture in the 80's, Sixteen Candles, Pretty In Pink and The Breakfast Clubs capture that perfectly.

RIP.

Sucks, man.

His filmography reads like a Best Comedy Films list. It's hard to believe that one man could be involved in some significant fashion (writer or director) with a list of films as awesome as Ferris Beuller, the Breakfast Club, Weird Science, Sixteen Candles, Home Alone, and Christmas Vacation. He was one of those rare guys who never really turned out anything bad. :/

RIP.

Man, damn near all of his movies were great. RIP, Hughes.

The Breakfast Club is just such a brilliant movie. Such a simple premise, but fleshed out perfectly and was great at capturing the differing attitudes and circumstances of the schoolkids of the day. Heck, it is THE teen movie that influenced every single one that's come since.

RIP John Hughes, thanks for everything.
