You had something to say when you found out John Hughes died. I've not thought about John Hughes in, what, ten years? Fifteen? But nearly everyone I know who's around my age has had something to say about how important those films were to them when they were growing up.

But in the end, even though I'd argue the movies didn't hold up all that well, they still meant something to a lot of people.
