John Hughes left behind a wondeful legacy of Jennifer Connolly riding a mechanical horse. And he also made some other movies, apparently.
Seriously, this is terrible news. I think he'd pretty much retired from the movie business, but he was a wonderful director who made movies that shaped my youth. He'll be missed.
