Publisher Description The films of John Hughes (19502009) have enjoyed popular and critical success alike, from his first scripts in the early 1980s through to his celebrated work later in the decade and into the 1990s. While Hughes is best remembered for his stories about teenagers, such as Sixteen Candles (1984), The Breakfast Club (1985) and Ferris Buellers Day Off (1986), almost all of his films deal with comical conflicts within everyday American families.
