Very sad to hear about director John Hughes' death. He died of an heart attack in New York aged only 59.

He directed and/or scripted such successful movies as "The Breakfast Club", "Ferris Bueller's Day off", "Uncle Buck", "Weird Science" and "Home Alone".

I liked pretty much most of his 1980s and early 1990s work and they are all childhood favourites really. "Lampoon's Vacation" was especially a fantastic film. Must have seen it in the region of 50 times whilst growing up. My favourite John Hughes movie and probably my favourite comedy movie of all time has to be "Planes, Trains and Automobiles", absolutely wonderful and it works on so many levels.

Hughes was one of Hollywood's greats in my opinion.
