- This is my tribute to the genius of John Hughes in the 80's. Not only was he the king of the teenage angst movie, but had other comedic hits like Vacation, Plants, Trains, & Automobiles, and of course Home Alone. This is set to the first lady of the 80's Pat Benatar's "We Belong".

Exactly 💯 I'm so glad my cousins shared this decade with me! I was far too young to be a part of it!
I miss that decade so much
I agree 500% !!
Home alone was 1990
@@ThorOdinson-zc2kq correct
Never realized how good it really was until the last 4 years of complete national insanity.
You cannot understand how great the 80s were if you werent there. It was the best decade ever. Nothing compares
Absolutely ... sograteful to have gone through the different music then
You got that right!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
It was fantastic 💯
Agreed!
For those of us that remember, the eighties may have been the last generation to be truly connected by what was available to us on TV, Films, and in particular Music. There wasn’t the choice then that we have today, we watched, we listened, and we shared it all together, we laughed, and we cried together. There is of course greater access to everything now, but we collectively shared those experiences together in the 1980s, which is why we’re all still so connected. Today’s kids are tuned in and tuned out… if only we could turn back time!
you laughed harder when you were in a theatre surrounded by people laughing, you cried harder when you mom was beside you in the family room crying to a melodrama mini-series, we gathered around the lockers on Monday to talk about Friday's Miami Vice and to see who was wearing that look including no socks, we swapped albums so we could record off each other's and make mix tapes. We even had to sit n the same room to play 2 player Atari games. We shared it together.
It was the best. We had it all. Did not realise it back then
No the last gen to not be normal are the people who are now in their 40s. Gen Z are dangerous 😮 Only a few are rejecting the systems teachings.
We all grew up in a more normal innocent time. Thr reason why mostly everyone over 40 is normal is because we werent brought up by social media and narcissism as a way to aspire to be 😂.
@@gen-x-dad quantum entanglement
I remember the Cineplex, the disco, the dance clubs, the malls, the group of friends with whom I hung out. I remember going to Chi-chis Restaurant where our friends were waiters for free meals on Saturday nights (of course we paid his tip in cash)... the prom and all the preparations. Big hair and neon clothes. Frankie Goes to Hollywood.
It seems like yesterday but was a different world.
I miss the world we used to live in...
Pretty sure that's my line, or a paraphrase of it. ;-p
Mine too
Yes indeed
I agree... The world is so much more divided now... It seemed more free & easy
I’m 72 I would give anything to be younger I’d like to be 40 again maybe even 50 I’d be happy at 60… 70 brings a lot of health issues a few steps closer to you nowhere
No damn cell phones or social media, real human interaction, taught people how to be confident and tough, handle real rejection, hard work, and most importantly, communication and trust were built , that is all gone now
1980's def. had cell phones; they were big and bulky but were still cellphones.
@@DmitriyK12 yea I remember but sort of a different type of phone, that was a mobile phone and sort of not the point I was making
Yes the nerds ruined things - big tech
next step is AI ... 😢😢
then you learn about digital radiation...and it's effect on our brains. Just 2.4 Ghz....and friends. The seeds of what you talk about accelerated in the 80s.
damn... I was a teenager in the 80's
and spent my 20's in the 90's
its only decades later do I realise how lucky I was to grow up in that time.
We'll never have that time again. Glory days!
Me too, and you're right. Kids today will never know what they missed.
Me too; so true. Times have changed so much, and mostly not for the better.
I can still smell the leaves
I was thinking the exact same thing.
The last decade that didn’t have the internet and we were so much better for it
We were normal living with your edits
*Internet came out in the 5Os ya spaztik. Just wasn't used by the masses like today. Only a very select few had it.*
ok boomer, you should unplug or are you a hypocrite? I bet you are, hypocrite Karen.
john hughes is the director that defined the 80s
He essentially made the same film over and over again, but there's no denying that the formula worked.
@@pocobull what you mean?
@@gussstavo you're a smart guy, you can figure it out.
@@pocobullyou put it out there. Explain.
@@stephb3321 it's really not that complicated. I'm sure you can figure it out.
I miss the 80's, we were happy and we didn't know it
That’s for damn sure.
That’s the truth
John Hughes never got the proper recognition he deserved, probably made more people laugh and cry in the 80’s than any other director.
Right on!
To all of you belongs to the 80s, give me a like. Let’s not allowed the fire of the 80s to die. Coz we belong together!
We do!!!! It will never die. Best decade ever!!!!!
😎😟
Asking for a like is the least 80s thing ever.
I call bs
The 80’s were everything, best decade ever!❤❤
This Really Hits Hard. The Nostalgia is so strong, it hurts. My Generation misses the 80's so much we want to go back, and I'm no exception. This is just more prof that the 80's was wonderfully weird and magical. Thanks.
So damn true!
We want to go back and do it all over, but we can’t go back we know….. Didn’t Eddie Money sing that?
By far the best decade, hands down
I Mourn the 80's
"You're going to wake up one morning in 2024 as a 50+ year old and you are going to miss me so much it hurts."
-1980's
It's 6:30 in my country right now. It just happened. And I'm 52...almost 53😢
I’m 51 and I could give almost anything to wake up in the 80’s again 😞
The 80's will never die!!
Yep. 53 here and can tell you, without a doubt, it's true.
Smiling because these memories are golden. I want to see what nostalgia looks like in 20 years time.
John Hughes films of the 80s were the absolute best. So many classics.
Watching these great movies in the 80’s, as a teenager was more of a privilege than could have fathomed at the time. Now, at 53, I look back with with gratitude that I was lucky enough to be just the right age to get the message. RIP John Hughes.
👏👏❤️faço do seu comentário o meu
...same...weren't we just the right age 😌❤
True. As a 52 year old I feel so lucky to have lived through the 80’s.
'88 high school graduate right here. This era will never be duplicated or equaled.
I was born then!
I graduated in the 88 it was alsome!
1988 graduate as well too!
I graduated in 1988, too!! How lucky were we??!!
We were great in 88 ✌️
The memories we made in the 80's were the best... talking on a land line all night with your friends, hanging out at the mall, partying in the woods, MTV jams, Saturday morning cartoons, life was so much simpler ! The good times !
yip, topless girls at the lakes, good music....
traveling to other countries.....
i am European, we drunk beer at 16...legal...and its still legal,
we drove to Paris for breakfast, Amsterdam for dinner....my old passport is fully stamped...!
I'm so glad that i grow up during 80s, now kids will never ever understand how great it is back then.
HEAVEN ON EARTH.
I was born in 74. Lived through the 80s & loved it. ET still makes me feel 8 years old again. Such magic!!❤
Back when I was still filled with hope. Hurts too much to visit here very long.
Before the world turned sour and the black winds howled…..
Exactly this :(
then the cordless phones debuted....analog at first....
Mary Stuart Masterton's teary-eyed look at Eric Stolz at the end of SKOW is one of the most iconic shots in movie history.
I wish had a girlfriend like that character
Watts was a lil cutie
I love it when he says "you knew you were gonna get these", She says..."I didn't know, I hoped". he says "you knew"....then Wise Man say only fools rush in".. Oh I love that scene!!!
Wake up wach a little MTV, go to the Mall, waste a couple of quarters at Arcade, catch a John Hughes movie at the Cineplex, make out with your chick in the dark, go home and talk all night on the phone till the sun came up !!!!! Long live the 80s !!!!
Killed it with this dream, cheers
I couldn't have said it better myself. Such a much more fun and simpler time.
Absafuckinglutly ♥️♥️♥️🥳🥳🥳
The 80’s were the best
When MTV actually played music and not all these dumbass shows.
I miss those years. Watching these clips are bitter sweet.
If you grew up in the 80s with his movies, it is impossible to say they didn't help shape, even a little, the person you grew up to be! The Breakfast Club and Some Kind of Wonderful were my favorites.
I watch The Breakfast Club once a year.
Mine, too. Pretty in Pink, too.😊
I was literally Andrew McCarthy in high school who desperately wanted to be Steff I even had the alternative girlfriend, and drove that BMW. All we wanted was love and acceptance, and John Hughes figured it out
@@amarbaha He has said that many of his movies came from his own life experiences. 🙂
UH" I totally agree!! I grew up in Chicago inda 80s and I could relate to all his films like I was living them. Some kind of wonderful was near the end of his classics. Quote me if I'm wrong but I remember seeing that in the theatre in 87. I left that shithole that same year! Lmao!! Still love all these movies tho! ✌🇺🇸🏁♥
When I am old and feeble, and my mind no longer functions in the present, I pray that my remaining years will be lived immersed in my memories of this decade.
well short term memory goes first, childhood memories tend to remain longer, so that might be okay :)
I have a dvd/blue ray all set up with a great 80's collection ready to go!
I became a 47 year old grandfather in 2019. Can you believe it??? Maybe I'll see you in the old folks home in 20 years. We'll party like it's 1999!!! Maybe we'll have an 80s themed Halloween bender? I'm going as Maverick.
Ahhh, the 80’s, what a great time to be young! I was so fortunate!
Where has the time gone? I remember all of these moments like they were just yesterday. So powerful
I can't believe how far the world has fallen since then
yip, the Americans cant wait to elect a dictator!
To go back to the 80's again ❤
I’m 100% ready. We should invest in a time machine and visit on a Fall weekend.
@@truthvfiction_____ I'm in !! Drop me off in Chicago where I grew up. Let's go back to originality and innocence. We bitched about our freedom then? If we only knew we'd end up online with each other talking. Weird shit let's go !!
@@matthewgoodtimes3555 Done! I took my undergrad in Chicago.
na, the fear of WW3 and the Reagan years are not forgotten....
from Europe, the USA and UK been criminal societies....
local terrorists here in Europe....not everything been good in the 80s....
you only remember the good stuff...
Those who lived through the John Hughes era are very fortunate people, we are very fortunate.
Yup, 1000%............
Amén ❤
He made teenage boys feel like we had a fighting chance in both life and love. His movies are a huge part of my childhood and growing up. He like so many of the 80s are forever gone and never forgotten. I wish every day it was still the 80s. Having a world that was able to start being themselves without alot of judgement and people just seemed alot happier.
all we had to do was put a bra on our head and harness the power of the PC!
@@gen-x-dad It seemed reasonable at the time.
I'm over 50. My buddy said it best: we just all got along back then.
@@foodetc. 🥰
Mary Stuart Masterson was so underrated
Some kind of Wonderful…….great film!
Was prettier in SKOW too!
Not to me.
Uhhh. Thanks?
Women like her hard to come by
There will NEVER be another time like the 80's! Not in television, or movies, or music, or life itself. I wish I could go back to those times.
John Hughes was the Mr. Rogers for us teenagers. RIP
“Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” - Ferris Bueller
Totally true
The line I can relate to is: "When you grow up, your heart dies."
Great music, great movies, great times. I finished high school and college in the 80s. Best decade ever. Kids today have no idea what they missed.
Today's world is pretty awful compared to those times.... I feel very lucky to have been there 😊
Yeah NO TRUMP ZOMBIES!!!
No decade can come close to the 80s for greatness.
The man was a legend. Responsible for so much of the culture in the 80s.
Funny .. ha
RIP John Hughes And John Candy
John Candy was so beloved, especially up here in Canada.
@@gen-x-dad And in Siberia too
My favorite director and actor
Absolutely love ya big JOHN CANDY your the man could brighten up anyones day sure did mine many a time 👍🇦🇺
@@gen-x-dadbeloved here in the states as well. I miss him.
The 80s were the greatest decade to be a young adult, so many changes, the music, it was fabulous!
13 - 23, got drafted into the military in late 1990!
good music, good movies and for us North Europeans, a lot of naked girls at our swimming lakes here...beer at 10, harder stuff at 12...we had freedoms, we still have!
i liked the 70s too, for their girls with short skirts....
I get real emotional when i see and hear these films and songs. Brilliant times.
Me too, mate. Couldn't agree more.
Graduated High School (Australia) in 1984. John Hughes films were hugely important to the 80's Pop Culture vibe. I guess you had to be there to understand it. I still only listen to 80's music even today at 56 years old. I'd go back tomorrow if I could.
i left regular school in 83 here in Germany...
the 80s didnt been that pink times, fear for WW3,
Russians invaded Afghanistan,
750.000 Russian soldiers just 25km away from my place!
we had a army of 600.000 man standing by!
now, its under 200.000 with 20 million more citizens!
The 80’s man, what a time to be alive. I was 8-18 during the best decade ever. I enjoyed every Fn day of it!!
It was for me too. I was 13 to 23 in the best decade ever.
18 to 28…. Graduated high school 80, graduated college 84, joined military 85, …
The 1980s was the decade of decadence.
The 80’s were a transition from heavy metal hair band rock, early pre gangster rap, decline of Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War, spies, the AIDS epidemic, early internet, and PC computers, which include day glow neon spandex, big hair, emergence of Nintendo…. MTV, Video arcades, VHS… cable television… decent movies.. decent soundtracks… the brat pack
If I could go back to the 80s I would in a heartbeat.
...and stay forever
Find what you like with now, and focus on how today is good. Use your Free Will to LOVE!
@@brianwaller9232 Find what you like with now, and focus on how today is good. Use your Free Will to LOVE!
Every movie from him has a special place in my heart.
Same
DAMN.... brings tears to my eyes! Amazing how a few well chosen video clips backed by this heartfelt one hit wonder of a song tugs at your emotions so much. I'm 54 and this sums up my entire childhood. I swear gen Xers must agree we lived in such a special time. Yes, it was the decade of excess and indulgence.... our country was thriving and proud! Our music stands the test of time! So many amazing artists stem from this decade. Best thing is we didn't have to tip toe on eggshells in fear of offending anyone, doing the wrong thing. We all just Got It!
thanks for the comment, but Pat Benatar was not a one hit wonder!
Oh geeez…. Lol.. I thought I was replying to another 80’s tribute video with the song “Waiting for a Star to Fall”. And yes, of course the great PB was not a one hit wonder:)
One hit wonder? You don't know Pat Benatar? One of the greatest female rockers of all time.
@@monaezytwo6513 go easy, she already corrected herself
Very happy to have grown up in the time I did. Shout out to the Bicentennial babies out there.
Thanks for all the laughs, memories and heartfelt moments Mr. Hughes ❤️
I think I'm going to be having a John Hughes marathon soon. I have most, if not all, of these movies.
The 80's wouldn't have been this awesome without this man!
A lot of things in the 80's will never be forgotten. A lot of things from 2000 to 2020 will be forgotten.
" Some Kind of Wonderful" Watts ....what a great movie. loved it
Brought a smile to my face and a tear to my eye.😊😢
Fuckin-A!❤
One of the best. It is terrible knowing what movies are like now, in 2023. Compared to the 80's and 90's, this generation of movies is horrible.
I know what you mean. Occasionally there's been a rare gem, but good films are few and far between in the modern world.
Movies of today at the movie theater are only for the kids or an adult with a mind of a ten year old kid 🤣.
I was 10~20 years old during the 80s. I miss it everyday.😢❤
The 1980’s and John Hughes were the best years of my life! Hughes always used new wave music and made it relatable to us in the era!
Damn...The best times of my life. It's never been the same since. I feel blessed to have grown up to all things 80s
I feel exactly the same way ❤
Hands down the best days of my life. Class of 1985.
Yep, I agree!
I WAS 10 YEARS OLD IN 1980. I REMEMBER ALL OF THIS AND FRIENDS I WENT TO ALL THOSE MOVIES WITH.
i am losing already friends to the death....people i cant talk to about the past anymore!
John Hughes was a legend! Loved his movies growing up in the 80s ❤
How lucky we all were to grow up in the 80’s. I think back often at to what a magical time it was. Greatful for every single day of it.
We will never have movies like this anymore.
No we won't, more's the pity. I don't like the kind of films Hollywood is churning out today, and I'm not afraid to say so.
For all us as Teens in the 1980's and Geeks / Ham Radio operators, comdex, computers, no cell phones needed, even to this day we have our Radio gear....still a geek today, still communicating with Ham Radio. RIP John Hughes, only the last 15 years realizing how special the 1980's were.
Have you watched Halt and Catch Fire? I loved this show.
80s was just epic. Never to be repeated
High school and college in the 80’s were the best of times. 😋👍
I preferred my Jr High and H.S., for me University was a large commuter campus, not exactly Animal House
Truly miss the 80's. For me I had friends, good times, great music and movies. Great tribute to the 80's
My favorite director. All his movies have so much meaning for me. They defined my youth.
"What would you little maniacs like to do first" - this line still cracks me up! John Hughs was/is a legend!
agreed! ummm...take a shower together? Teenage boys stink so this was probably quite the relief for Lisa
@@gen-x-dad Agree. Thank you for sharing these 80s moments.
I involuntarily smiled when the first bars hit. Damn I had a great childhood!!!!
I grew up in the 80's (graduated high school in '85, and as "magical" that time period was...this song Transcends it. 💚
John Hughes, best director that defined my 80's growing up. I miss you! :(
Yes!
No one had it better than We. GenX. ❤
Love this song's words "We belong together"...
The 80s were the best time of My life
Loved The Breakfast Club & Ferris Buellers Day Off, introduced my teenage son to them now firm favourite with him. Have to say Some Kind of Wonderful a much underrated film in the John Hughes landscape. Sorely missed
I plan to introduce my niece to "Pretty In Pink" when she's old enough.
Hughes was the visionary for all of us who lived the 80s. He was our voice and eyes.
My adolescence is long gone, and I’m feeling older. This music and movies will always bring me back.
What an excellent 80s tribute that brings back so many memories. Thank you
As a GenX dad. I miss the 80’s & 90’s.
Screw social media and all of the modern tech today, the 80’s ruled!
So Good Thanks For The Outstanding Memories! Will Never Ever Be An Era As Good As The 80's It was Everything!! Jake Ryan Woo-Hoo!!! Had Him Plastered All Over My Ironing Room GQ Edition!!!!!!
The 80s was not only a special decade, was the last great decade. It was also the last of the golden years for hollywood
Man the 80s and 90s were the best. Beat movies, best music EVER!!!!! 🙏🏻🤙🏼
Great tribute and song choice. It's unbelievable to know that he knocked up and wrote some of these classic movies in a weekend.
Breakfast club is still one of my favourite films of all time.
Miss you John
John Hughes is a legend & inspiration to us all
those were the best time of my life
46 still trying to find myself. I think I am almost there. I miss the 80's.
just keep going, what matters really seems to change
Yep, the 80's belonged to the genius John Hughes. RIP legend!
Yes!
No other decade will ever beat the 80’s!! I was there and loved it!!!!
Yes, the films of John Hughes made it to Germany as well and I simply loved them. Coming of age myself in the eighties, I couldn't help but find myself in one or another of Hughes' characters and I think we all did, right? Even today, when I come across films like "The Breakfast Club" or "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" on the tv, everything else has to wait. Doesn't matter that I have watched them a thousand times, they are still working the way they were made. You can't say that about too many films of that era. John Hughes just knew how to do it.
Class of '85 here and proud of it even though my favorite year was '84.
For those of us who grew up in the 80s, this was our golden age. Some really beautiful comments on here. Oh, to have the ability to turn back time.
I owe my childhood to john hughes, thank u so much for giving us outcast 80s kids a voice
Right!?!❤
His movies defined my teen years. So many iconic memories, he was a movie genius.
he defined teenage angst
It wasn't a golden age. No, it was better than that. The John Hughes age was the "Platinum" age of movies, culture, music, and what have you. I came across this video by accident but, damn it, i am going to watch the entire John Hughes collection this weekend.
Thank you, John Hughes, for the emotions, the wonder, and the memories.
nuff said?
The girls of the 80s were best ever.
yes they were/are
a man of the 73s, i'm 51 lost great friends and i miss them all
@@pascaldesnoeck8671me too, I have lost a lot of friends. Even my ex girlfriend’s who are no longer here I think of often. I miss the 80’s and my girls and friends from the military. I am worried what the next ten years will bring.
John Hughes movies are in a category of their own! They still hold up today and are garnering the attention of a whole new generation! Most of my favorite movies are John Hughes movies!!
What an absolute genius that man was
Loved this so much. John Hughes was the epitome of the 80’s. So glad I grew up in that decade. 💕
the 80's were amazing.
Thank you for another one. Music that Sting my heart. Clips that echo. Mr.Mom. Uncle Buck, weird science 😭
