Is there a more quintessentially '80's director than Hughes? Moreover, is there a director that is so identified with a decade of moviemaking than Hughes is? Spielberg maybe, but 1) he's been a powerhouse filmmaker since the eighties and 2) if you want spectacle you go with him, but if you want a window into the life of the American Teenager, Hughes has to be the guy.
Hell, I can't even think of another director who was so good at depicting adolesence than he. RIP, sir.
