Too Cool For School John Hughes Collection
J**3
A Box Full of Awesomeness
John Hughes was definitely the teen movie master in the 1980's. Nobody has ever come close to touching him in this genre since then, and I doubt that anyone ever will. Hughes really GOT teenagers - the way their minds worked, the struggles they went through, the way they talked, everything. This collection - Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Pretty in Pink, and Some Kind of Wonderful - is a great way to experience the sheer genius that was John Hughes. It's a great value, too. I doubt you can find a better price anywhere for these three films.One of the best things about this collection is the bonus material on each DVD. There are interviews with the cast - which were filmed in 2006, I believe - in which they talk about their experiences during filming and their thoughts on the characters and the content of the film. There's also footage from the 80's of John Hughes being interviewed regarding the films, and some 80's cast interview footage as well. Sure, you'll probably only watch this material one time, but it's worth the investment. Besides, I don't think you'd save any money by purchasing stripped-down no-bonus-material versions anyway.I highly recommend this collection. Each film is excellent. I could ramble on about the plot of each movie and what my thoughts are on them, but I imagine that pretty much everyone who's considering purchasing this collection has already seen the films. So, I'll simply end with this: Buy this collection. It's the best price you'll find anywhere, the bonus material is great, and the nostalgia factor is through the roof.

It's a Keeper
A good collection of John Hughes movies and I enjoyed them all but they left out Sixteen Candles and the Breakfast Club, now that would worthy of 5-stars. On the other hand, for what I paid for this set I have zero complaints.

John Hughes was the 80's
No one contributed more to the image of the 80s suburban teen than John Hughes. The Too Cool for School collection contains some of his best work, and the price would be reasonable if only Ferris Bueller was in the collection. The humor, anxiety, and teen struggles still remain relevant in this work, as my children enjoy these films nearly as much as I.

John Hughes!
A great collection! Charlie Parker's brother as a "freaky geeky" weirdo (Pretty in Pink). Ferris Bueller's is a must see for everybody--great flashback tot the 80s too.

MARAVILLOSOS 80
Tres maravillosas películas de los años 80 que no pueden faltar en tu videoteca.La chica de rosa y una maravilla con clase (títulos en Español), de la primera y tercera cinta de este pack, tienen audio y subtítulos en castellano. La segunda cinta "todo en un día", sólo tiene idioma en español, sin subtítulos.

80s classics, for 80s throwbacks like me
Fantastic films, If you like Pretty in Pink, then Somekind of Wonderful should be right up your alley. Ferris Bueller is a bonus for me. If you like 80s films, then these should be a must. Great value. Is it just me, but apart from the internet, and other technology, wasn't the 80s a fantastic decade?
