'I always preferred to hang with the outcasts, 'cause they were cooler; they had better taste in music, for one thing, I guess because they had more time to develop one with the lack of social interaction they had.'
~John Hughes
OK, confession time. I fully admit that when I found out that Hollywood writer/director John Hughes had died of a massive heart attack in New York City at the age of 59, I cried. Yeah I did.
Thing is, John Hughes was a huge part of my life growing up. He made being a teenager and all the crap that comes with it totally bearable. I watched his movies a hundred times over. I had his movie posters all over my bedroom walls, I had memorized the dialogue of so many of his movies and I knew all those movie soundtracks by heart. And what girl in the 80s didn't want to be Molly Ringwald?
The Breakfast Club. Pretty In Pink. Sixteen Candles. Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Some Kind Of Wonderful. If you were a child of the 80s these movies were your movies. John Hughes had the magic touch when it came to movie making. He made movies about teenagers for teenagers and it was a movie formula that always worked, without fail.
John Hughes spoke to and for my generation. And more importantly the characters he created connected with me in such a big way. Even if high school life wasn't exactly like he showed it to be on the big screen, as teenagers we are able to see the 'real in it' in between all those scripted scenes.
I totally related to that awkward chick, Allison Reynolds, in The Breakfast Club.
I wanted to fall in love like Andie Walsh did in Pretty In Pink.
I wanted that final scene of blowing out the candles on my birthday cake sitting across from a 'Jake Ryan' like Samantha Baker did in Sixteen Candles.
I wanted a cool boyfriend like Ferris Bueller in Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
I wanted the fairytale 'fall in love with my best friend and walk off with a pair of diamond earrings' like Watts did in Some Kind Of Wonderful.
John Hughes made me laugh. He made me cry. He made me dream. He was my 'VHS tape security blanket/comfort food' as a teenager. He let me know that as horrible and tortuous as being a teenager was [and it was], there was light at the end of the tunnel and that things did get better...eventually.
And for that I will forever be thankful.
John Hughes also knew how to put together a killer soundtrack. It was always the perfect eclectic mix of songs that fit the movie perfectly. I mean really how can anyone forget Duckie's record store performance in Pretty In Pink? (note to Jon Cryer: You will forever be Phil 'Duckie' Dale to me...)
The two songs that will forever be associated instantly with Hughes are 'Don't You (Forget About Me)' by Simple Minds [The Breakfast Club] and 'If You Leave' by OMD [Pretty In Pink]. They are as timeless as the movies themselves.
To Mr. Hughes...thank you for all your movie magic. You've left an indelible mark in the lives of so many...the brains, the athletes, the basketcases, the princesses, the criminals and all the other quirky characters that make up the minefield that is the world of teenagers.
It's going to be an 80s movie and music weekend for me. My walk down memory lane...John Hughes style. I may even take out the old VCR and cassette deck to make it a true retro 80s flashback.
