You are one of my all time favorite directors.

And we start off first by asking about She's Having a baby, because out of all the films included here, though not directed by Howard Deutch, it may provide the most insight into who John Hughes really was at the time he was turning out so many classics. We delve into quite a bit of history, and explore what it truly means to be a part of this legacy collection. We discuss that notion with Deutch, and the fact that he met his longtime wife Lea Thompson on the set of Some Kind of Wonderful. At the time of their releases, many critics felt the two movies were a bit too similar. Of course Howard Deutch has time to look back at Pretty in Pink and Some Kind of Wonderful.

That didn't stop us from asking him all about it while we chatted about John Hughes' wide-spanning career and all the iconic films included on this release. But this John Candy-Dan Aykroyd comedy classic is housed under the Universal banner, where Hughes made his hit comedies Sixteen Candles and Weird Science, and not included in this particular new set. While Hughes was busy making this semi-autobiographical tale starring Kevin Bacon and Elizabeth McGovern, Howard Deutch would go on to direct his third John Hughes movie that same year with The Great Outdoors. She's Having a Baby, directed by John Hughes, would hit theaters in 1988. Deutch would then return to Paramount in 1987 to direct Some Kind of Wonderful while Hughes was making Planes, Trains and Automobiles. Enter acclaimed filmmaker Howard Deutch, who took the reins on Pretty in Pink in 1986 while Hughes himself was directing Ferris Bueller. And he wasn't always available to helm some of those scripts himself. The man is responsible for giving us some of the biggest hits of the '80s. Only three of the films included in this new set were actually directed by the coming-of-age maestro, with the other two only being written by John Hughes. We caught up with the director behind two of these all-time classics, speaking with Howard Deutch about his time working alongside John Hughes and what it means to be a part of this legacy. Included in the set are Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Pretty in Pink, She's Having a Baby, Planes, Trains and Automobiles and Some King of Wonderful. It contains some of Hughes' biggest comedies of all time. Available this week, the studio is releasing the John Hughes 5-Movie Collection on Blu-Ray. Paramount Pictures is celebrating John Hughes in a big way this month.

Some kind of wonderful movie online
