Growing up in Chicago, I was very familiar with the classic movies by John Hughes. These classic movies have inspired a lot of people, including myself. Chicago plays a very important role in Hughes work. Most of these movies have taken place and have been filmed in this particular city. These are the top 10 movies people from Chicago should know like the back of their hand.

1. The Breakfast Club

"We're all pretty bizarre. Some of us are just better at hiding it, that's all."

2. Ferris Bueller's Day Off

“Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.”

3. Sixteen Candles

"Donger's here for five hours, and he's got somebody. I live here my whole life, and I'm like a disease. "

4. Pretty In Pink

"I just want them to know that they didn't break me. "

5. Weird Science

"So, what would you little maniacs like to do first? "

6. Some Kind of Wonderful

"I'd rather be with someone for the wrong reasons than alone for the right. "

7. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation

“If that cat had nine lives it sure used ’em all.”

8. Planes, Trains, and Automobiles

"If they told you wolverines would make good house pets, would you believe them? "

9. Home Alone

“Will you please tell Santa that instead of presents this year, I just want my family back.”

10. National Lampoon's Family Vacation

"Sorry Folks. We're closed for two more weeks to clean and repair America's favorite family fun park!"

These 10 movies are many fan favorites and only make up half of John Hughes' amazing work.
