I'm sure this hasn't been posted yet but...
RIP to the man who made so many fantastic movies, especially Ferris Bueller, Uncle Buck, The Breakfast Club, Weird Science and Trains, Planes & Automobiles. These and more will forever live on for me as classics when I was growing up!
(Or should that be 16 for 16 Candles... 
)
He made some absolutely timeless movies about teenage angst that still resonate regardless of the generation they were aimed at. A true icon of cinema!
Edit: He also wrote the screenplay for National Lampoon's Vacation!
