Uncle Buck is about the only Hughes film I could watch again.
It's a real burden being right so often.

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.

From the chat room where I manage my new team of minions:
"NPR is reporting that American forces killed Baitullah Mahsud."
"Who cares? The Breakfast Club was way better than whatever crappy movies that Taliban guy made."

Oh, as usual, dear.
Not much to contribute on the Hughes front. I enjoyed Sixteen Candles and Weird Science back in the day, but have no desire to really see either again (maybe SC). Was meh on The Breakfast Club. Missed most of the others.
And HATED Ferris Bueller with the fury of a million fiery suns. The character moreso than the movie (and I generally like Broderick). I think he is to me what Duckie is to Plei. Hate HATE HHHHAAATTTEEEDDD HIM!!!
Ahem.

Right there with you on the Ferris hate, Frank. I'd still root for the angry principal played by the creepy pedophile actor if Cameron wasn't tagging along.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
So, I saw "Sliding Doors" for the first time since it was originally shown, and I don't think the movie is as bad as I thought I remembered it to be. It isn't a great work, but I was still very much interested and Tripplehorn makes a wild "villain."

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

I haven't seen that in years. I'm going to dig it out and rewatch it. Just what a Saturday night take-out, on an evening when you're not feeling 100%, needs as a cheering-up movie.
