**Note: These are only John Hughes directed films. We'd be here all day with his written works.
8. She's Having a Baby
Far too schmaltzy and at times painfully unfunny.
7. Curly Sue
Cute but ultimately forgettable
6. Sixteen Candles
Eh, it's acceptable.
5. Uncle Buck
John Candy is great. Slobbish John Candy dealing with bratty Macaulay Culkin is even better.
4. Weird Science
Quite a strange turn for his films but Anthony Michael Hall and Kelly Preston sell it well.
3. Breakfast Club
The defining movie of a generation showcasing rebellion and individualism.
2. Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Everyone's dream life encapsulated in a film. Also Alan Ruck.
1. Planes, Trains & Automobiles
I may catch some shit on ranking this over Breakfast Club but the chemistry between Steve Martin and John Candy, their hilarious hijicks with Dylan Baker, and that infamous F-bomb scene send this to the top of the list.
Now watch this and tell me I'm wrong.
