“I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, life moves pretty fast, if you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.”

John Hughes, the prolific writer/director of The Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off and Plains, Trains & Automobiles, has passed away at age 59 after suffering a heart attack.

Hughes began somewhat of a ‘cinematic revolution’ with his work in the 80s, offering the average teen a film that dealt specifically with their problems, whilst maintaining a high amount of laughs. You’re most likely familiar with his writing work too, as he is the man behind Vacation, Weird Science, Uncle Buck, European Vacation, Christmas Vacation, Home Alone 1 /2 and a host of other classics.

Although he hadn’t been producing as much work as of late, Hughes filmography is incredibly impressive and no doubt many of his films will stand the test of time.

R.I.P John Hughes, you will be missed.
