Earlier this week, one of my favorite filmmakers, John Hughes, passed away in New York while visiting family.

Not only did he write and direct Ferris Bueller's Day Off, easily one of my favorite films ever, but also Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club and wrote and produced Pretty And Pink.

His films represent some of the most memorable American Cinema of the 80's.

It's truly sad to see him go, but his influence will live on.

Here's a great clip I found on YouTube looking back at some of Hughes' great work throughout the years:

At a coffee shop in Brooklyn, I am reminded of a scene in Trainspotting in which Renton dives head first into a toilet.
