Review of Don't You Forget About Me (2010) by Alex M — 05 Feb 2010
Even if you weren't raised on the iconic director John Hughes's 80's teen movies, this documentary is still a treat. It's fun to watch the filmmakers as they reminisce about his films - one even says she doesn't remember the first time she saw Breakfast Club because she doesn't remember a time when it wasn't there.
As we watch them travel to Chicago, the film is peppered with interviews of actors who starred in Hughes's movies, celebrity fans, and people on the street. The whole thing is a love letter to Hughes.
The filmmakers want the director to know how much they love his films and how those films have touched them. It's a nostalgic trip to be sure, but it's one that's deserved, making the director's death last year all the more tragic.
