Overview

Looking for a comprehensive chronicle of the films of legendary director, screenwriter, and producer John Hughes? You re holding it in your hands. Covering the entirety of Hughes s career, from his earliest features through to his mainstream box-office successes, John Hughes FAQ explores the key factors that contributed to his legendary status in the world of cinema. While Hughes has become especially well known for the eight films that he directed between 1984 and 1991 including Sixteen Candles (1984), The Breakfast Club (1985), and Ferris Bueller s Day Off (1986) he made a considerably greater contribution to cinema through the dozens of high-profile screenplays that he developed for production throughout the 80s and 90s. John Hughes FAQ investigates many different aspects of Hughes s prolific career in film discussing his distinctive flair for creating entertaining and engaging characters, his enthusiasm for new technology and eventful road trips, and his insightful social commentary on class and culture. Considering the entire sweep of Hughes s work behind the camera, John Hughes FAQ focuses not only on the popular classics of his filmography but also on many of his movies that have achieved a certain cultural prominence over the passing years.
