   • “Pretty in Pink” (1986, w) Helped by Deutch in a remarkable directing debut, this is where Hughes crystalizes his statements about high school life – the constant ennui that is nonetheless beautiful when reflected upon.
   • “The Breakfast Club” (1985, w-d) “The Breakfast Club” should be boring. It is, after all, about five students spending eight hours in detention. But Hughes hits on something that’s obvious upon reflection: Detention is the only place where students of different cliques interact.
   • “Planes, Trains and Automobiles” (1987, w-d) Just looking at a still image of Candy and Steve Martin sitting in that burned-out car makes me laugh out loud.
   • “National Lampoon’s Vacation” (1983, w) Helped by Chase at the height of his powers, Hughes delivers an on-point portrayal of a dad who wills a summer family road trip into being a good time – even though it objectively never is.

   Which Hughes film has the deepest soundtrack?

   • Deutch wisely caps many scenes with wistful smiles. This has the deepest soundtrack of any Hughes film, bookended by the Psychedelic Furs’ title track and Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark’s “If You Leave.” It’s Hughes’ most influential high school film, with “Dawson’s Creek” being the most obvious antecedent.
