Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.

Farewell John Hughes

I was sorry to hear last week that film writer and director John Hughes died at age 59. He wrote and/or directed several of my all-time favorite movies.

Among them:
National Lampoon's Vacation (1983)
Breakfast Club (1985)
Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986)
Planes, Train & Automobiles (1987)
The Great Outdoors (1988)
Uncle Buck (1989)
Christmas Vacation (1989)

Of course, I was a big John Candy fan.

I wrote more on today's date on my Dead Page in the history blog.
