8. Beethoven
You may not know it, but for about fifteen years between 1980 and 1995, John Hughes was extremely prolific. In order to keep his name from being on literally everything (and to hide his more mediocre work), Hughes adopted the pen name Edmond Dantès, the literary hero of Alexandre Dumas’ The Count of Monte Cristo. As Dantès, Hughes wrote a little film about a lovable pup named Beethoven. Is Beethoven a work of art? Heck no, but if you were pre-puberty in 1993, the odds were solid that you fell in love with the adorable St. Bernard and identified with a pack of kids who just wanted a big, fluffy thing to play with.
