Films by John Hughes
I just read that writer, director John Hughes died. I grew up during the early ’80’s, and am more a child of film than of books. Here is the list of Hughes films I’ve seen. It has me wondering how many films I’ve seen during my life, and what that adds to in 24 hr days. This would not include the films I have watched multiple times. The things you think about when you are unemployed.
