The older I get the younger people seem to pass away

he was no Scorsese but his films did hit a cord with me, particularly Breakfast Club and Some Kind Of Wonderful

I loved his movies and freaky enough a mate and I were discussing him earlier this evening (in fact his name is still in my google search area)

RIP Mr Hughes

Just finished watching The Breakfast Club, I've not seen it for ages and it's not lost anything - Still one of my favourite films.

The kids haven't seen it before and YMF really liked it. Not sure about LMF as she was tappity tappity on her laptop all the way through.
