Favorite John Hughes Film

[ok_cpu]

Uncle Buck has been on heavy HBO rotation this month. What's your favorite John Hughes film?

[maveric]

1. A vote for Uncle Buck.

John Candy at his best!
I really miss that guy.

[ok_cpu]

2. Me too

It's sad at the end of Unlce Buck when it freezes on Candy waving 'goodbye'

3. Sixteen Candles.

I was totally mesmerized by the blatant bigotry addressing the Asian character.

4. Aww, your avatar is so cute!

Dammit, it's a tie between 16 candles and Breakfast club. I guess I'll go for BC for the line, "demented and sad, but social."

5. Planes, Trains and automobiles was great

but I had to go with Breakfast Club

6. Pretty in Pink or Sixteen Candles. Sixteen Candles had this though:

so I guess that makes it the winner.

10. Compelling

But Pretty in Pink had these:

7. See, all these movies take place in a town called Shermer, in Illinois.

And there's all this fine bush running around, and we could kick all the dudes' asses because they're all whiney pussies. Except Judd Nelson - he was harsh. But best of all, there was no one selling weed. So I says to Silent Bob "Man, we could live phat if we were the blunt-connection in Shermer, Illinois!" So we collected some cash we were owed, and caught a bus. But when we got here, you know what we found Out? There is no Shermer in Illinois. What kind of shit is that?! Fucking movies are bullshit!

8. "I weep for the future..." Ferris Beuller, of course!! n/t

9. I'm tied between Wierd Science and Breakfast Club

Boingo was my favorite band in high school (still is, actually), so WS gets a huge boost...

11. "Those aren't PILLOWS! . . ."

:rofl: I loved P, T, & A. It was very sad at the end.

12. Does Vacation really count? I thought he only wrote that one?

Vacation gets my vote if so--if not, Uncle Buck. Or Ferris Bueller.

Nah--it's gotta be Sixteen Candles.

My brother just paid a dollar to see your underwear!

SCREAM!

13. Very Intelligent Question

Harold Ramis directed Vacation, I think. Hughes wrote it. I voted for Vacation, because the question is what is our "favorite" John Hughes movie. Not the most important, or the best, but just our "favorite."

My favorite is Vacation, according to these limitations set forth in the post.

Otherwise, I would vote for Breakfast Club.

14. Uncle Buck....:)

15. Uncle Buck

showed a really nice side of John Candy. I thought it was well done.

I also liked Ferris Beuller and a couple of others, but Uncle Buck kind of just gives me a smile.

16. P T and A

Surprised it's not doing better in this poll.

Hilarious.

[Common Sense Party]

17. Some Kind of Wonderful nt

18. Breakfast Club,

though I have a bit of a sentimental attachment to PTaA, because my dad rents it every Thanksgiving.
