Don't You Forget About Me: Contemporary Writers on the Films of John Hughes

Super fun short essays about the films of the time. Quick read and really great information for anyone researching 80s films, Hughes or teen flicks.

This is definitely for the growing up in the 80s crowd. Lots of perspectives of how John Hughes influenced people growing up. Very relatable for the Gen. X crowd, or for anyone that wants to understand what it was like to grow up in the 1980s. Recommend.

I love John Hughes and his films. It was nice to get different slants on the man and his films. It is also nice to hear about his influences on other people.

What a great book, thanks this is a classic love all the stores behind the best era ever lived..............my daughter loves it too

Very informative and fun to read about 80s actors and John Hughes' films. Quite informative about this classic era in time.

I bought this book expecting something different, perhaps it's my own fault for not reading the cover too carefully, but this is NOT a discourse on the John Hughes films, it's a batch of selected writings on how the John Hughes films mattered to the various writers at different points in their lives.The book turned out to be quite interesting and well written, but I still found myself wishing it were actually about the films themselves. Hopefully one day that book will come out!

This book is great for any John Hughes movie lover, out there. However, I bought this book without previewing it was slightly disappointed. The book is made up of memoires from people who've been influenced by Hughes and his movies. It's more a recollection of their past and their childhood, rather than focusing on Hughes. for awhile it was the only book out there that dealt with Only John Hughes movies, however, recently more books have been published about this AMAZING director.
