Forever Young
If you are of a certain age John Hughes' death probably meant more to you than it did to most. For those of us in Generation X Sixteen Candles and Ferris Bueller's Day Off, and especially The Breakfast Club spoke to your angst-ridden teen-aged soul. Molly Ringwald was probably the grande damme of the Brat Pack. Her New York Times op-ed on Hughes' death is powerful and wonderful and if your current age hovers somewhere near 40 it will probably speak to you in a way that you never expected Molly Ringwald to speak to you again.

I remember John's sixteen candles.
Breakfast Club tops my list, but really his body of work embodied an era for a large swath of the population.
