After 12 Monkeys I started thinking the title 16 Candles would have worked better for a horror movie where a girl snaps on her 16th birthday and thinks she has to kill one person for each candle and she kills them by pulling a Nero and turning them into human torches

Which director was the one that made goons cry because he didn't visualize the idealist image of what a female anthromorphic plane should look like?

With the exception of Clerks and maybe Red State Kevin Smith's movies are boring, ineptly made pieces of poo poo he's not even in the top 20

Any one of his recorded talks are better and funnier than any of his movies hth

I was talking about driving down to Anaheim with my friend on the bus and a bum started talking to me about how he used to hop freight trains down to California and how he always dreamed of being a Hollywood screenwriter but he can't spell out words. I told him Quentin Tarantino is illiterate and he seemed pretty happy about that.

Agree with OP, but only because of Career Opportunities (1991), the overlooked, obscure and misunderstood culmination of Hughes' classic era with a young Jennifer Connelly

You joke, but Rowdy is very underrated. He made this great boxing flick called Gladiator in 1992, and I thought he should have had a bigger career. Anyway my vote goes to the one and only Michael Mann.

Not really sure why we're talking about all these other guys, the OP has already firmly established that John Hughes was the greatest filmmaker (1982-1990).

So what's your favorite JH movie? Aside from Weird Science of course
