In Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986), during the parade, people seen dancing including the construction worker and the window washer had nothing to do with the film. They were simply dancing to the music being played, and John Hughes found it so humorous that he told the camera operators to record it.

TIL John Hughes chose to live in Chicago (where all his movies were set) rather than Hollywood or NYC because he preferred living among normal folks. "[In LA], you spend too much time with other people in the business and you trade ideas back and forth and it all sort of comes out looking the same."

Has any writer had a better 10-year run than John Hughes?

Between 1983 and 1992, John Hughes wrote (and directed) a string of iconic classics that were both (1) mega hits at the time, and (2) remain culturally relevant and significant today. Does any writer even come close to writing this number of iconic classics in ten years?

His verifiable iconic classics from this period include:

  • (1) Home Alone (1990)

  • (2) National Lampoons X-Mas Vacation (1989)

  • (3) Uncle Buck (1989)

  • (4) Planes, Trains and Automobiles (1987)

  • (5) Ferris Bueller’s Day Off (1986)

  • (6) The Breakfast Club (1985)

And in this same period he also wrote the following much beloved and remembered movies:

  • (7) Home Alone 2 (1992)

  • (8) Beethoven (1992)

  • (9) Dutch (1991) [bullshit addition - just my fave]

  • (10) The Great Outdoors (1988) [less so than others]

  • (11) Pretty in Pink (1986)

  • (12) Weird Science (1985) [less so than others]

  • (13) Sixteen Candles (1984)

  • (14) National Lampoon’s Vacation (1983)

  • (15) Mr. Mom (1983) [less so than others]



TIL that John Hughes wrote Ferris Bueller's Day Off in less than a week and went on to shoot the film on what was essentially his first draft of the script.

Can't Hardly Wait (1998) - Despite some minor flaws, this John Hughes-style teenage comedy deserves a lot of credit for capturing the '90s high school experience in a way that very few films of the time were able to do.

John Hughes Movies...

I watched all the main teen movies we all know, with my 17 year old daughter. I was so excited to share the experience! Other than 16 Candles, which she could sort of relate to, I got side-eyed and the facial expression: "really mom? THIS was your entertainment?" She could care less. She was nice about it, and mentally patted my head, my mouth agape in shock, got up and left the first chance she got, to go back online. Junk food left on the coffee table. Sorry uh..what? 😳😳😳 I did laugh...by myself...in my head.
