Love both but Hughes for me. Both guys have movies I can watch over and over and I grew up with all their films so it's a really tough call.

It's a shame they never had a baby together. That kid would've been a director.

Landis' kid is a director.
He got #MeToo'd though.

Hughes all day long. No question. Some Kind of Wonderful is highly underrated as an 80's teen classic.

 

[dildos]

Hughes just for the breakfast club and Ferris buelers day off. Those are absolute classic movies.

 

[CHUTE_BOXE78]

I will go with Pele Landis John's. I believe you know why ;-)

They had some similar films I spose but I don't think Hughes ever showed anything close to the kind of imagination of Blues Brothers and American Werewolf, then again he didnt stage FX scenes that killed children either.

Honestly I think Hughes is arguebly the big name 80's director who's work has dated the worst.

 

[Candy Routure]

I have watched the first 4 titles listed for Hughes at least 2000 times.

Hughes.

 

[FyrFytr998]

I like both equally, but more of my personal favorites are from Hughes.

I watched Ferris Beuller for the first time in 20 years recently and was not impressed at all. Wanted to punch the smug cunt.

True, though Ferris Beuller did kill a couple of people whilst definitely not driving drunk, wink wink.

Pretty much, a lot of the characters in those bratpack films just come across as far too obnoxious whilst the films expect us to love them. I could take it from John Cusack as a lot of his best stuff did kind of embrace that he was playing characters who were a bit of an arsehole, your not sposed to just love Martin Blank the way you are Ferris.

Had to go with Landis but it was a really difficult choice. Hughes’ films are probably more iconic from that era, but Landis’ films are closer to my sense of humor and have aged better.
