Watch all of these movies three times. It's the only homage I can think fitting for the man who created:
-My all time favorite movie.
-The only legitimate sequel. Ever.
-The BEST teen flicks prior to Superbad.
Actually my biggest beef nowadays (not my biggest beef nowadays) is the fact that these next generations ahead of us are never really going to have the memory of Sixteen Candles and The Breakfast Club. Everything's going to be 10 Things I Hate About You and Superbad. Especially the boys. Growing up I thought Sixteen Candles was THE most accurate representation of high school movie (mainly because they're were some shocking similarities between Farmer Ted and me circa 2004-5).
Sigh. I could go on and on but I guess all their is to say is rest in peace, John Hughes. You shaped everything from my childhood, to my pre-teen years, to my Thanksgiving and Christmas traditions
