So much to say about John Hughes. I'm in the process of re-watching every movie he directed (I still have to see Curly Sue and She's Having a Baby again) and he just got it. He just somehow perfectly captured what being a teenager is. I first saw The Breakfast Club just before I went to college, and I re-watched it a few months ago. It still hit me the same way it did back then. Lake Forest, where he lived and is buried, isn't too far from where I grew up and currently live. I always wanted to meet him, but sadly that never came to be. But I had the honor and privilege of meeting his son, James, at the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, where they played along with Home Alone. His son looks EXACTLY like his father - it's really eerie. He and his wife, Nancy, were both very philanthropic. Lake Forest needed to reinforce one of its beaches, and she donated a large sum of money to get the project going. It was completed around the time she passed away, and they ended up naming it Hughes Gateway in her honor. The theater at the local community center is also named after both John and Nancy Hughes.

I live near Milwaukee and turned 18 in 1981. Living that close to Chicago and having grown up with his movies makes me want to tour all the locations in which his movies were made. I've seen one or two, but there are countless more I haven't visited. Your videos inspire me to do so. Sadly, I noticed John Hughes' wife passed away shortly after he did and was also very young. I've outlived both he and his wife, and having just turned 60, that is somewhat sobering. I think it's time to stop and take a look around a while.

Thank you for making this and good work. I love John Hughes and love his films. Amazing how famous he is considering he himself was rarely out there in the public. Never saw him at all the last ten years of his life. I was always hoping that he would write his autobiography and considering he was a writer I'm always surprised he didn't. He's a fascinating guy and my hope is his sons will write his biography. I had no idea his wife passed away so soon after he did. I remember seeing her at the Oscars when they did their tribute to him.

Merry Christmas, Jordan. The world is not the same without John Hughes. A master of the 80's movie. I've seen them all! I thought it was cool a normal, Midwestern guy made it big! His movies all had that Midwestern flair, but could be anywhere USA. A very fine balancing act. His movies had to appeal to everyone to succeed, and they did. The talent he made good use of is phenomenal! On a more somber note. My little Chihauhua, Loki, went missing Christmas Day. I am sick. He went everywhere with me, like Jah does with you. He's my world at times, even though I have grown children I adore. I have contacted police, all local vets, and FB. I just sit here in agony, wondering. We've covered miles looking. Thanks for trying to cheer me up with your videos! ❤😊❤

Merry (one day late) Christmas and Happy New Year, Jordan. I had no idea that John Hughes had been dead so long or died so young. I have never seen a John Hughes film, being about 20 years older than the target audience and not eager to relive high school. I've known many people who watched his films as teenagers and they've talked about how much they meant to them. This is a beautiful cemetery and you gave a touching tribute to Mr. Hughes.
