What is your favorite John Hughes movie?

[analogfuture]

Weird Science is genuinely amongst the all time favorites

[katehansen]

I miss John Hughes comedies. They were just a great way to laugh for a couple hours!

[analogfuture]

Christmas Vacation, Uncle Buck. Great Outdoors, Dutch and Home Alone are family classics

[jessejameszao]

The great outdoors is an absolute amazing film

[colleenwood]

Thank you Dennis actually forgot about this some kind of wonderful but my all-time favorite is sixteen candles know that movie by heart The Breakfast Club next then pretty in pink

[mikieson]

nice outline of some of the greatest films in history.

[kurtfranklin]

Personally, I think uncle buck should be higher.

[wtkn]

Ive never seen John Candy flossing in PT and A, where did that come from? Thanks for the vid BTW

[wolfpacsyxx]

It’s hard to figure out which are really John Hughes movies but if you include great outdoors then for me planes trains automobiles, great outdoors and uncle buck are the top three in no particular order the rest of the movies on this list don’t hold a candle

[sethstine]

You "couldn't get through" Weird Science? Why not??? That movie is a classic. And you "researched" for Weird Science? Had you not seen it before? How old are you; 22?

[sethstine]

Why base your list on "input from your friends at Cinifiles"? Or Rotton Tomatoes? Shouldn't they ALL be based and ranked on your opinion? Rotton Tomatoes, IMBD, and Cinifiles already ranks these films. Some have a score. If I want to to know what the score is; I can find it easily. Perhaps your reviews should be based on your opinion rather than redundantly basing your rankings on scores from other people that are already posted and can be easily accessed
