I'll admit to laughing AND crying the first time I saw the Breakfast Club and understood it. I personally think he made a larger impact on general pop culture than any other director of the last three decades. Crap – didn’t mean to hit enter.

Rodney, I echo your sentiments exactly. The summer I broke my arm I think I watched Ferris 30 times; an edited version on VHS recorded from broadcast TV nonetheless. It was the first VHS and DVD movie I bought. We were talking about his movies at work last week, and the mother in-law of one of my co-workers got her start as an extra in Ben Stein's classroom in Ferris. She is currently a theater actor in Chicago and spoke very highly of him as an artist and as a person. Rest in peace, Mr. Hughes.
