The Breakfast Club<\/em>The seminal film about coming-of age from the mind John Hughes<\/strong>. It\u2019s as iconic as any \u201980s movie, but it could have been a lot grimier were it not for Molly Ringwald<\/strong>. She convinced Hughes to cut a weird scene from the movie, and it\u2019s certainly better off for it.<\/p>\n Hughes was a humorist who wrote regularly for The Daily Beast before he became the godfather of high school movies. National Lampoon<\/em>. Among his first stories, \u201cVacation \u201858,\u201d became the basis for National Lampoon\u2019Vacation<\/em>For which he also wrote the screenplay. His writing at the Lampoon <\/em>demonstrated his skill at writing for teens\u2026and it\u2019s all aged rather poorly.<\/p>\n Writing in the late \u201970s into the early \u201980s, Hughes\u2019 writing repeatedly included rape and hatred towards women. It\u2019s satire, sure, but it\u2019s hard to feel like the target is sexism. His co-author Ted Mann recollected<\/a>, \u201cIt wouldn\u2019t fly today and it never should have flown then. \u2026 These were degenerate cocaine days.\u201dYou can call it a product from a man still in his youth.<\/p>\nJohn Hughes’ Early Work<\/h2>\n
