John Hughes' 1986 Classic Was So Good, The Director Remade His Own Movie Just 1 Year Later

John Hughes' movies are some of the best pieces of 1980s nostalgia, but one of his films from 1987 is basically a remake of a classic from the year before. The prolific comedy writer penned a host of amazing adult comedies like National Lampoon's Vacation and Planes, Trains and Automobiles, but it was his coming-of-age stories that made him a household name. Teen movies existed before the 1980s, but most were either raunchy sex comedies that were actually aimed at adults, or were preachy dramas about the dangers that teens pose to the world.
