Question of the Day: The John Hughes edition

What is your favorite John Hughes movie?

John Hughes is Dead

The man that defined my generation and gave us Molly Ringwald is dead.

John Hughes, prolific director of such culturally significant films such as The Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Planes, Trains and Automobiles and Home Alone has died suddenly of a heart attack while taking a morning walk during a trip to Manhattan to visit family.

In the last decade, he stepped back from the legacy he created to enjoy time with his family, maintain a functioning farm in northern Illinois and support independent arts. He is survived by his wife of 39 years, Nancy, two sons, John and James, and four grandchildren.

He will be greatly missed.

My top 5 Nerd/Geek Movies

Geek and Nerd movies really helped me as a kid. It was nice to see the outcast have a moment in the sun, or at least 2 hours worth of sunshine.

However, it was a great to see these films and hopefully we will get back to good storytelling and Nerds to look up to...So here we go.

Real Genius-made me happy to be smart.


Sixteen Candles-I think we have all identified with Sam in some form.


Revenge of the Nerds-I had a crush on Gilbert and Lamar was my role model.


Lucas-From this movie, I learn to never give up.


Carrie-a Nerd with telekinesis is cool in my book.
