And as far as John Hughes goes I don't care what anyone says, and I don't care what they use as evidence: Home Alone 3, Flubber, or even Baby's Day Out.

He is redeemed if not just for Ferris Bueller's Day Off but also for Planes, Trains and Automobiles as well as The Breakfast Club.

We're still on the fence about Weird Science, though.

I was Not Allowed to see Weird Science in the theater or rent it when first it came out on video. Considering my parents usually let us rent anything below an R rating, this was significant. This meant WOW, THIS FILM MUST BE REALLY SMUTTY EVEN IF IT'S PG-13. And when I finally got my chance to see this forbidden fruit, it completely (and unsurprisingly) did not live up to my heightened expectations. Was still funny, but my 12-year-old imagination definitely was thinking it'd be far worse.

Even with Chet as the talking... thing. Yeah.
