The Eternal Breakfast Club

This is a sad day for Gen-Xers. The man who simultaneously reflected and shaped our teen years, John Hughes, has died. He is the man behind "Sixteen Candles," "Ferris Beuller's Day Off," and "The Breakfast Club," among other '80s hits.

A generation of people who saw much of themselves in Hughes' slightly nerdy but good-hearted characters mourns today.
