My understanding is that it's not very accurate to the actual Sid Vicious story.

What, no Ferris Bueller or the first two Vacations?

And where's the love for Flubber?!

John Hughes did not direct Flubber or any of the Vacation movies.

He didn't direct the Vacation films and I never liked Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

Yeah that's what I've heard but I still love the film regardless.

I like most of the people involved but man, Weird Science was one of the worst movies I've ever seen.
Wasnt surprised when I found out that John Hughes wrote the script for it in 24 hours.

Best John Hughes film: "She's Having a Baby"

Just joking. It's not very good. But it does have one of the greatest trailers of all-time. Used to see it on the "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" VHS all the time when I was a kid." i thought that movie must be awesome based on the trailer, but, alas, it wasn't. But the trailer is badass.

He was a genius to come up with such a great idea in a day!!!

The dude was way ahead of his time, the best we can do in 2017 is print those sh*tty 3D toys and what not.

It's the 21st century goddammit!! So let's make a few Kelly LeBrocks!!

... Not even the Japanese have it figured yet... and you say the story's trash?!

Besides, the 80s Sci-fi genre remains one of the inspirations for many technological innovations today.

If it wasn't for Star Trek, there'd be no iPads.

The first 2 Home Alones are great IMHO and they are my top favorite Christmas films along with many others of course.

Saw it for the first time ever just a few months ago. It looks like a movie you would love if you grew up with it in the 80s. Seeing it for the first time in 2017 didn't do much for me. Anthony Michael Hall's character when he was drunk in the club was annoying and felt racist. Kelly LeBrock was indeed a babe.

What?!, no, you crazy?! I'd create a few copies of her 80s version.

... that is if only the Hughes estate lend me the awesome computer!!

BTW! You're totally missing out on the Home Alone films! Do watch em! Highest Recommendation!
