I love all the movies by director John Hughes. I also love John Landis's movies.

Robert Coppola Schwartzman

I like John Hughes movies.

John Singleton

The influence of John Hughes is fully felt in the melodrama 'Donnie Darko.' This first film written and directed by Richard Kelly is a wobbly cannonball of a movie that tries to go Mr. Hughes one better; it's like a Hughes version of a novel by Gabriel Garcia Marquez.

Elvis Mitchell

I think saying 'a John Hughes movie' is just shorthand for a lot of people to say 'a coming-of-age story,' because I think, when you're of a certain age, that's what John Hughes means to you.

Jon Watts

I grew up in the '80s and John Hughes was the filmmaker making serious movies for teenagers.

Nicolas Winding Refn

First off, I love Woody Allen. His early movies, like 'Hannah and Her Sisters,' are incredible. I also love anything by Billy Wilder, Ron Howard and John Hughes. I really grew up on the Hughes films, which are the ones I go back and watch all the time, just to see how they were put together.

Tim Story

I was just after Generation X. I missed the John Hughes movies; I had to watch them on TBS.

Freddie Prinze, Jr.

I'd seen all of John Hughes's movies. All the Spielberg stuff. A bunch of '80s horror, like 'Evil Dead.'

Finn Wolfhard

There are so many great John Hughes movies covering so many different genres. You can pull so much from him.

Jon Watts

It's funny, like 15 years ago when I was a kid doing all the John Hughes movies, I remember Bruce Willis was the only guy who was transitioning from television into film.

Anthony Michael Hall

Every single Asian dude who went to high school or junior high during the era of John Hughes movies was called 'Donger,'

Martin Wong

I'd see movies, comedies, and I loved 'Animal House', I loved all the John Hughes stuff, but I never saw me and my friends totally represented.

Kevin Smith

I think there used to be more respect toward young people in movies. John Hughes really respects his characters and they're given their emotional weight. He does so even with kids, but especially with teenagers.

I remember growing up watching John Hughes movies and watching these white kids from suburban Chicago. I connected to them even though I didn't live in their environment.

Rick Famuyiwa

Ted Hughes is dead. That's a fact, OK. Then there's something called the poetry of Ted Hughes. The poetry of Ted Hughes is more real, very soon, than the myth that Ted Hughes existed - because that can't be proven.
