Power Rankings: The John Hughes Edition

5. The Great Outdoors: Hughes penned this Candy/ Aykroyd vehicle. Maybe a bit too highly ranked, but our former fantasy team name the “Old 96ers” drew its origins here.

 4. Weird Science: Seeing Bill Paxton and Robert Downey Jr. in early roles makes it worth the rental even now. We just remembered that Kelly LeBrock was Mrs. Steven Seagal.

 3. Ferris Bueller’s Day Off: Made playing hooky seem so fun as a kid. Everyone and their sister thought that Mia Sara was going to be the next big thing after following Legend with this one. Almost dropped a spot for subjecting the world to Ben Stein.

2. The Breakfast Club: Any real explanation necessary? We blame the Molly Ringwald upskirt for our predilection for red heads. Also where we learned to hide or weed in our underwear during our formative years.

 1. Vacation: The Beverly D’Angelo shower scene is our first memory of seeing boobs and liking it. Cousin Eddie is one of the all-time greatest characters in moviedom.
