I think I have to go with Fortress Around Your Heart.
Rutger Hauer will always be Roy Batty to me but I did love him in Blood of Heroes.
...because God knows you need some satisfaction in life besides shagging Captain Cardboard! And I never really liked you anyway. And you have stupid hair!

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

I LOVED Blood of Heroes. Such a whacked-out cast.

CNN is saying that John Hughes (the director/writer) died of a heart attack today.
So: what's your favorite John Hughes movie (as director or writer)?
For me, it's always The Breakfast Club. But followed VERY closely by Planes, Trains and Automobiles; Sixteen Candles; and Mr. Mom.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Pretty in Pink and The Breakfast Club.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Ferris Beuller is my favorite. I think he was a better director than writer.

Thanks for all the quotes, Mr. Hughes...still use them all the time. As to your sudden exit from the planet, I'm sad to say "The world is an imperfect place," I feel like I owe him a lot, because being the crippled kid and shy and all, it was hard to make friends. His movies gave(and still) give me a shared vocabulary with people my age. Although my Boomer is still pretty fluent.

My friends and I used to rewind and play, over and over and over, the scene in Sixteen Candles at the end, where all the cars pull away and Molly Ringwald sees Jake standing there.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Wow, he wrote a lot of bad movies.
I think I like Ferris Beuller best, even though it's not set in Shermer IL.

Seriously. Best moment ever.

Well, close second...right next to Lloyd and the boombox. ETA: Jesus, Erika, a man just died, and you can't rate him over your Cusack lust? God, you suck.
For today, Jake Ryan is the best moment ever.
