Motherblog 10 (Death of a genius)

The man behind some of my favorite films has passed away.

John Hughes (59)


I remember my first film i saw which John Hughes wrote was 'Uncle buck' starring John Candy and Macaulay Culkin.
Although at a young age, i knew comedy genius when i saw it.
The classics kept rolling in afterwards whether it be from now era, or then.
The next film was 'Home Alone'. It was a whole new peak in comedy. I was obsessed with the film and i had a new god.
Kevin McAllister.


The VCR gave me the advantage watch them whenever i liked. memories...
I was living in a great year for great movies.

-Curly Sue

-Beethoven

-Home Alone II: Lost in New York

-Dennis The Menace

-Baby's Day Out (a friend and i managed to hire this out last night).

By this stage i was at the relevant age to watch the "then" classics like:

-Mr Mom, National Lampoons Vacation, Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, Weird Science, Pretty in Pink,
Ferris Bueller's Day Off, The Great Outdoors.

These movies gave birth to some of the most creative characters ever to hit the screen. Fact.

Uncle Eddie(Randy Quaid)






Uncle Buck (John Candy)


There was a time and still is, where some writers and directors have attempted to re-create movies similar or better than some of these movies mentioned above. So far no one has even touched cotton...
Besides the Beethoven trilogy. They were all exceptional!
