Writer/director John Hughes passed away on   the age of 59.  He directed many classic 80s films like Weird Science, The Breakfast Club, Home Alone, and my personal favorite, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.  He will always be remembered for bringing that special edge and coolness to geeks all around the world.  Also, he was not afraid of making an impact on society by stepping outside the status quo and covering social issues among teens (re: The Breakfast Club).  If you have not seen his movies, I highly recommend you create a “John Hughes weekend” and enjoy all of his hilarious, touching, and influential films.  Thank you John Hughes for making geeks, well, cool.
