Five great 80′s songs made famous by director John Hughes movies
With the great loss of director John Hughes yesterday, I did a little searching and found 5 great 80′s songs that some were arguably made famous by his movies. I’ll let you be the judge.
Hughes’ ensemble comedies helped make stars out of Molly Ringwald, Anthony Michael Hall, Ally Sheedy and many other young performers. He also scripted the phenomenally popular “Home Alone,” which made little-known Macaulay Culkin a sensation as the 8-year-old accidentally abandoned by his vacationing family, and wrote or directed such hits as “National Lampoon’s Vacation,” “Pretty in Pink,” “Planes, Trains & Automobiles” and “Uncle Buck.”
