Mrs. Robinson You’re Trying to Seduce Me remembers the iconic contributions John Hughes has made to film and some of our childhood/adolescent years (80s). He has written and directed some of the most memorable movies. Movies that are often quoted or referenced in pop culture.
Hughes is well known for working with the Brat Pack (Emilio Estevez, Anthony Michael Hall, Andrew McCarthy, Judd Nelson, Molly Ringwald and Ally Sheedy) in “Sixteen Candles” (1984), “The Breakfast Club” (1985), and “Pretty in Pink” (1986). He also brought us “Weird Science” (1985) starring Anthony Michael Hall and Ilan Mitchell-Smith, “Ferris Bueller's Day Off” (1986) starring Matthew Broderick and Alan Ruck, and “Home Alone” (1990) starring Macaulay Culkin and Joe Pesci.
Of course the list is not limited to the movies above. We have probably all seen at least one of his coming-of-age or comedic family movies. And we have all probably related to one of his characters, “fallen in love” with one of his characters, and emulated one of his characters. For me, I saw myself in Claire (“The Breakfast Club”), simply adored Ferris (“Ferris Bueller's Day Off”), and mimicked Kevin (“Home Alone”).
Remember the movie legend, John Hughes.
RIP

“You see us as you want to see us - in the simplest terms, in the most convenient definitions. You see us as a brain, an athlete, a basket case, a princess and a criminal. Correct? That's the way we saw each other at 7 this morning. We were brainwashed.”
“The Breakfast Club” (1985) – written and directed by J.H.
