tough one for me but I think Ferris Bueller's Day Off by a hair over The Breakfast Club.
What's your favorite John Hughes film?

The Breakfast Club.
Ferris Beuller, closely followed by Pretty in Pink
I would have to say Uncle Buck followed closely by Planes, Trains and Automobiles. I guess that is a little John Candy-centric. I don't think I have seen She's Having a Baby, but I like just about every movie he has ever directed.
My favorite would have to be Sixteen Candles.
All those are near and dear to my heart, but I've always enjoyed Uncle Buck. BTW a friend mine's wife was John Hughes secretary here in Chicago. Heard a lot of great stories and he seemed like a really nice guy.

I saw Breakfast Club so many times when I was in High school that 25 years later I could still probably watch it on mute and get most of the dialogue. Ferris Bueller a close second.
Planes, Trains and Automobiles.
No question.

Pretty in Pink
Ferris Bueller and the Vacation movies.
Great thread, Aaron!
Wow. It's tough to choose. I think Breakfast Club (like Price, I watched it about a hundred times in H.S.) would be my number one, but I really like all of John Hughes's films that I've seen. Sixteen Candles, Pretty in Pink, and Ferris would probably all tie for a close second. Vacation, Uncle Buck, and P,T,&A tied for a close third.

#1 Breakfast Club - anyone who came of age in the 80s just gets this.
Ferris Bueller.
16 Candles. I still remember seeing this in the theater & laughing so hard my stomach hurt. Semi-interesting tidbit - I did meet a guy who was an extra in this as one of the geeks standing against the wall during the dance scene.
Honorable Mention: Weird Science.
