Mr. Hollywood Speaks

Mr. Hollywood is back and in this edition we feature films from the late great John Hughes. Hughes passed away on August 6th, so let’s celebrate his life by checking out some of the great films that he has written and produced.

The Breakfast Club is a story of five high school students--a rebel, an athlete, a Brain, a brincess and a basketcase--who find themselves thrown together serving a Saturday morning detention. They do not have much in common, except giving up their day, sitting in the school library, and writing an essay for the principal. Then they start to pour their hearts out to each other. They talk about their fears, secrets, deepest emotions, and problems.

In Pretty in Pink , Molly Ringwald plays a poor girl who falls in love with a rich guy and must find a way to deal with her family and friends who are unhappy about it.
Bueller !!!!!!!!!! We all remember it being yelled. Ferris Bueller's Day Off chronicles the
events in the day of a rather magical 17-year-old who, one spring day towards the end of his senior year, gives into an overwhelming urge to cut school and head for downtown Chicago. This was the film that launched Matthew Broderick's career and showcased Jennifer Grey as well.
