I was only in one of the John Hughes films, and I never saw the other ones. I didn't understand them. I kept hearing a really hip 40-year-old person talking in teenagers' mouths.
There are so many great John Hughes movies covering so many different genres. You can pull so much from him.
You think of movies like 'Midnight Run' and '48 Hours', those are great movies, especially 'Midnight Run.'
When I was 13, Eddie Murphy was to me what Chris Tucker was to 13-year-olds when I made 'Rush Hour.' And 'Rush Hour' really came out of the fact that I grew up watching 'Beverly Hills Cop' and '48 Hrs.'
I asked Dalai Lama the most important question that I think you could ask - if he had ever seen Caddyshack.
I really liked John Candy in 'Planes, Trains & Automobiles.' He was so good in that movie.
I was studying English, as you will, in the day, and five nights a week, I would be at the cinema. That continued throughout my 20s, which was also the 1980s - there was a lot of really good films coming out then.
I am a fan of the 'Rocky' films, and 'Rocky 4' is my favourite. I also like 'The Warriors.'
I love 'Trading Places,' but 'Coming to America' has one of the things I like to do - I like the multiple characters.
But 'Sixteen Candles' is the only movie I could watch over and over and over without getting sick of it.
I like John Hughes movies.
My younger sister and younger brother are huge 'Teen Witch' fans.
I love 'My Beautiful Laundrette' and 'Dangerous Liaisons.'
I'm a huge fan of John Hughes and can say that 'Planes, Trains and Automobiles' is easily a top 3 favorite. I'm also a huge fan of all the Second City talent, and I think my Dad and Bill Murray are long lost twins.
Before 'Animal House' came out to open up a huge market, there just weren't parts for young guys. That genre of film was my ticket in... One of my first jobs was with Bill Murray in 'Stripes.'
