Planes, Trains And Automobiles and Uncle Buck, before retiring from directing following 1991's Curly Sue.
Hughes also wrote the first three Home Alone movies, The Great Outdoors and Beethoven. Since his filmography is something of an embarrassment of riches, it's hard to label one film as his "best," though for many The Breakfast Club might just be his crowning achievement. The story finds five students forced to spend detention together, with each belonging to a particular stereotype - a brain, a beauty, a jock, a rebel and a recluse - but as they get to know one another they bond in a major way.
Despite being over 30 years old The Blair Witch Project as one of the most parodied of all time. This started in earnest with 1986's The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, which featured Leatherface and his clan all posed together in an identical style to The Breakfast Club.
Later examples would include 2004's Along Came Polly, where Philip Seymour Hoffman's former child star appeared in a movie called Crocodile Tears that featured a very Breakfast Club-inspired poster. The references have really increased in the last decade or so, with Spider-Man: Homecoming - which made no secret about its John Hughes inspirations - putting out posters in the style of both Ferris Bueller's Day Off and The Breakfast Club.
Riverdale got in on the action with season 3 episode "The Midnight Club," with The CW releasing a poster that made The Breakfast Club inspirations very clear.
