    • National Lampoon’s Vacation (1983) Director: Harold Ramis. After sharpening his pen on episodes of late-1970s TV sitcom Delta House, and as a writer for National Lampoon magazine, Hughes turned his own biographical short story, ‘Vacation ’58’, into the screenplay for this Harold Ramis-directed comedy.
    • Sixteen Candles (1984) Director: John Hughes. Hughes’ first foray into the American high-school experience, and his directorial debut, came with this mid-80s classic, which laid the groundwork for the modern teen comedy.
    • The Breakfast Club (1985) Director: John Hughes. Along with Ferris Bueller’s Day Off (1986), this is one of the defining American films of the 1980s and, with its story of a disparate group of students brought together for detention, forces the pleasure, power and pain of adolescence into a confined space, with dramatic consequences.
    • Weird Science (1985) Director: John Hughes. While Weird Science is likely best remembered for star Kelly LeBrock in that tight red dress, it runs far deeper than adolescent fantasy – although, admittedly, that its the hook on which this story hangs.
