John Hughes
 
Lansing, MI-born, Chicago-raised Hollywood director and screenwriter who has made an impressive list of classic '80s brat-pack flicks. Such films include Sixteen Candles (1984), The Breakfast Club (1985), Pretty in Pink (1986), Weird Science (date ??), Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1987), and She's Having A Baby (1988; and the perfect "Link to Kevin Bacon" movie). His screenwriting credits include Mr. Mom, Home Alone, 101 Dalmations, Beethoven. By far, Hughes can be consider Chicago's demi-god of the past decade's corky comedies, not to mention the scribe of one of Hollywood's highest grossing movies of all times: can you guess which one it is?
