Movie maestro made teen films with staying power

When I told my co-worker I was going to be writing about John Hughes, the filmmaker who died at the beginning of the month, he said, "Ah. The director of my generation." The co-worker is a decade older than me and yet I still feel like Hughes was the director of my generation, too. After all, I don't know many people my age who haven't seen "Sixteen Candles," "The Breakfast Club" or "Ferris Bueller's Day Off."

For more on my favorite Hughes' films, read my column in the Weekend Pinnacle here.
