Because the last theme month was such a glowing failure, I'm going to try again, except this time I'm on uni break and I've got Edward to help. The theme this time around is the movies of John Hughes. He wrote or directed all the movies of your youth that you probably love and cherish. If you're saying I don't know who this guy is or I don't know what you're talking about, then that means you're going to get film educated.
John Hughes is responsible for some of the most heart-warming and meaningful films of the 80's and 90's and is generally attributed to having created the idea of the teen movie. A lot of the themes are relatable to people because they touch on feelings we all had about growing up or relationships or family.
He worked on a huge number of movies of which we've selected eight (four for the both of us) and we'll be releasing one each a week in addition to our regular reviews. So here are the films we will be watching.
- Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986)
- Weird Science (1985)
- Pretty In Pink (1986)
- National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (1989)
Jack:
- National Lampoon's Vacation (1983)
- Home Alone (1990)
- The Breakfast Club (1985)
- Sixteen Candles (1984)
Those are our movies for July. Check back every so often to check for updates. If your favourite John Hughes movie isn't on this list, I'm really sorry but he was involved in way too many movies.
