damn that's sad - i wondered what became of him. he wrote the best teen comedies of all time and then just went dry. he had a great fucking ear for how kids of the 80's talked - i always wondered how he did that, whether he interviewed kids or hung out at mall food courts and just listened and took notes. there wasnt any Internet in those days to help.

Breakfast Club was a masterpiece of a teen movie - if anybody wants to see what being a teenager in an American suburb was like in the 80's, he represented it perfectly.

so many creative people do it all in a brief period of time where it all comes pouring out of them - then they're spent. that's all they may have had in them and Hughes probably felt that. might have been scared to write about anything else.

16 Candles was great - launched Molly Ringwald and they put her on the cover of Time Magazine as the next great American female movie star. And her career fizzled away just like most of the Brat Packers.
