R.I.P John Hughes

Filmmaker John Hughes has tragically died from a heart attack at the age of 59. He gave us greats like Weird Science, The Breakfast Club and my personal favorite, Ferris Buller's Day Off. Geek Tyrant has a great collection of videos and clips from some of his movies that will get your nostalgia going and Ellen Fox of The Rotten Tomato show asks what YOU'VE learned from his films on Current.com.

R.I.P Mr. Hughes, you gave the world many wonderful gifts and your films will live on in the hearts of those who were touched by them!
