John Hughes Remembered at Little Cave Tonight

Categories: Synthful

It wasn't just the quirky teens and funny, sincere one-liners that made us love John Hughes' teen movies, it was the music. Whether we were introduced to The Smiths through Pretty in Pink or The March Violets through Some Kind of Wonderful, the soundtracks for Hughes' movies were, in many ways, soundtracks for the '80s. Tonight, Little Cave will be hosting a tribute to the late director and we took the liberty of posting a few clips of songs we would love to hear tonight.


Song: Otis Redding "Try a Little Tenderness"
Film: Pretty in Pink
Reason: Somewhere out there in Los Angeles, there are at least five people who know Duckie's dance routine and will try it out on the floor.
