"Life moves pretty fast.
You don't stop and look around once in a while,
you could miss it."
- Ferris Bueller

I feel like I've been kicked in the gut. The man who created so many cinematic touchstones of my adolescence and young adulthood died today of a heart attack.

Still, artists have ways of remaining immortal. Of course many people know him from the
Home Alone franchise, or from
Planes, Trains & Automobiles. But for me, Hughes will live on in his iconic 1980s films like
Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Weird Science and
She's Having a Baby.

Ugh.. I hear ya.
I can recite Sixteen Candles start to finish.
Thanks for making our teen years a little easier, John.
Too sad. Ferris is one of my all time favourite films.
