Sixteen Candles (1984)
The first movie the late John Hughes directed. His classic of high school angst and romance made Anthony Michael Hall and Molly Ringwald stars—mostly in Hughes' universe. Also: Long Duk Dong!

Weird Science (1985)
Again starring Hall, this is one of the oddest and funniest films from Hughes' canon. Kelly LeBrock was hot and Bill Paxton was supercreepy.

The Breakfast Club (1985)
The best high school movie of all time? Again Hughes wrote and directed, with Hall, Ringwald, Ally Sheedy, Judd Nelson and Emilio Estevez. Belongs in any Brat Pack box set, along with St. Elmo's Fire.

Pretty in Pink (1986)
He wrote but didn't direct this one, but few movies are more Hughes-esque than this wrong-side-of-the-tracks love story with Ringwald, James Spader, Andrew McCarthy and Jon Cryer (Duckie!).

Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986)
Hughes wrote and directed, Matthew Broderick owned it, Charlie Sheen cameoed. One of the best movie soundtracks never to be released.

Planes, Trains & Automobiles (1987)
Steve Martin and John Candy helped Hughes branch out from teen comedies into funny, sweet, sad dude comedies.

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (1989)
Hughes wrote this and the original Vacation, the only two from the Chevy Chase franchise considered any good. Great, actually.

Again teaming with Candy, Hughes helped introduced the world to Macaulay Culkin.
