Neil Cavuto kept on referring to him as "Director John Hughes". He never called him "writer". I wonder if Cavuto even knows that Hughes wrote every single one of those movies.

Very sad loss. He did an interview with the Onion not that long ago, it seems.
Chicago has lost a great supporter. RIP.

I actually left out a few of his movies. He wrote and directed "Weird Science" and "Curly Sue". He wrote "The Great Outdoors", "Some Kind of Wonderful", "She's Having a Baby" and "Career Oppurtunities".

Weird Science. Classic. I could watch that 10 times in a row, and I think I did once.

Meanwhile apparently Billy Mays died from coke. Oops
