Reports are that he died of a heart attack today while taking a walk. He was 59.
Man I loved so many of his movies.

Another 80's legend who has done nothing of significance in his selected artform since passes away.
But yeah, he has quite a run. RIP.

Man, that sucks.
The movies were great. And the soundtracks from those movies were largely fantastic.

Wow. That sucks. Looks like it's an 80s marathon weekend for me!
His movies were a big part of my teen years.

Lots of good stuff, of course, but heading to the theater to see The Breakfast Club with a group of 50 or so of we CMHS class of '85 seniors is a really indellible moment for me.

The soundtrack for Pretty in Pink has to be the best ever. Considering it's American.

Brings a tear to my eye.
Holy shit - he did "Some Kind of Wonderful" too! Mary Stuart Matheson was the 1980's Reese Witherspoon.
