      John Hughes

      Highest Rated: 94% National Lampoon's Vacation (1983)

      Lowest Rated: Not Available

      Birthday: Feb 18, 1950

      Birthplace: Lansing, Michigan, USA

      A prolific writer, director and producer in the 1980s and early 1990s, John Hughes was the guiding force behind some of the most popular teen-oriented comedies of the period, including "National Lampoon's Vacation" (1983), "Sixteen Candles" (1984), "The Breakfast Club" (1985) and "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" (1986). Though his stock in trade was broad, he had a particular gift for the speech and emotions of middle-class suburban youth, who were portrayed in his films with a complexity and respect rarely afforded them in major Hollywood features. Later, he also wrote the blockbuster holiday hit "Home Alone" (1990). His films were frequently cited as a major influence on writers and directors who toiled in the teen movie field.
