11 Reasons Why Childhood Wouldn’t Have Been the Same Without John Hughes

10. Uncle Buck

While the majority of the John Candy-led comedy is about Buck himself trying to grow up, Hughes’ screenplay also maturely examines the hostility that can erupt between teens and parents. Where most movies cast their teens as irrational tantrum throwers, the film’s oldest daughter is a conflicted, human character who’s struggling to find her own path in suburban tedium. Also, pitch perfect performances from a young Macaulay Culkin and Gabby Hoffman beautifully embody the thrill of being watched by that odd half-adult relative who you just know is making things up as they go along.
