John Hughes made the most insightful and emotional teen movies. There simply is no comparison to anything out today.

I have it saved now so I can pass it along to others too.<br /><br />I have a similar history as yours and John's movies certainly resonated with me as well. I think most teenagers have a life like we had and not like the Jake Ryans of the world, and that is why the movies were so popular. He just got it. <br /><br />And I'm still in love with Jake Ryan. ;)Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14339665205284492242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3367581551556551352.post-56422024858561102792009-08-07T19:48:52.957-05:002009-08-07T19:48:52.957-05:00I was all ready to send you the link to that same ...I was all ready to send you the link to that same post when I started reading this, glad you found it.
