Some Kind of Wonderful.

"Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it." John Hughes, 1950-2009.

Update: "None of the films that he made subsequently had the same kind of personal feeling to me. They were funny, yes, wildly successful, to be sure, but I recognized very little of the John I knew in them, of his youthful, urgent, unmistakable vulnerability. It was like his heart had closed, or at least was no longer open for public view. A darker spin can be gleaned from the words John put into the mouth of Allison in 'The Breakfast Club': 'When you grow up ... your heart dies.'" By way of Listen Missy, Molly Ringwald remembers John Hughes in the NYT. An interesting companion piece to Alison Byrne Fields' pen pal blog entry making the rounds soon after the untimely news.
