Five essential John Hughes classics arrive in one fantastic Blu-ray Collection on February 23, 2021 from Paramount Home Entertainment. The JOHN HUGHES 5-MOVIE COLLECTION includes the beloved favorites Pretty In Pink, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, Planes, Trains and Automobiles, as well as the Blu-ray debuts of She’s Having a Baby and Some Kind of Wonderful. The Collection also includes access to a digital copy of each film.
Originally released on February 28, 1986, Pretty In Pink celebrates its 35th anniversary in 2021. Produced and written by John Hughes and directed by Howard Deutch, the film stars Molly Ringwald and Andrew McCarthy. Andie (Ringwald) is a high school girl from the other side of town. Blane (McCarthy) is the wealthy heartthrob who asks her to the prom. But as fast as their romance builds, it’s threatened by the painful reality of peer pressure
Howard Deutch returned to direct 1987’s Some Kind of Wonderful, which was also written and produced by Hughes and makes its Blu-ray debut. Eric Stoltz, Mary Stuart Masterson and Lea Thompson star in the affecting story of young love in which Watts (Mary Stuart Masterson) finds her feelings for her best friend, Keith (Eric Stoltz), run deeper than just friendship. When Keith gets a date with the most popular girl in school (Lea Thompson), the girl's old boyfriend is unable to let go of her and plans to get back at Keith.
Also celebrating its 35th anniversary in 2021, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off continues to be enjoyed, quoted, and revered 35 years after its theatrical debut on June 11, 1986. Matthew Broderick stars as a delightfully charming high school student who, with his girlfriend Sloane (Mia Sara) and best bud Cameron (Alan Ruck), ditches school to enjoy one perfect day as a kid with no responsibilities.
Produced, written, and directed by John Hughes, Planes, Trains, and Automobiles stars comedy greats Steve Martin and John Candy. The uproarious classic follows a businessman (Martin) who is struggling to get home for Thanksgiving but burdened by one travel mishap after another, as well as the company of an annoying traveling salesman (Candy). Filled with outrageously funny situations and a generous helping of warmth, the film also features appearances by Michael McKean, Edie McClurg, and Kevin Bacon.
Hughes wrote, directed, and produced the romantic comedy She’s Having A Baby, which arrives for the first time on Blu-ray. Starring Kevin Bacon and Elizabeth McGovern, the film follows an aspiring writer who must face up to the responsibilities of marriage and fatherhood despite his persistent doubts and unfulfilled ambitions.
Disclosure: All opinions are my own. I received John Hughes 5-Movie Collection on blu-ray at no cost for the purpose of this review. No other compensation was received.

MY REVIEW
I am a huge fan of movies from the '80s. I remember watching so many different movies on television when I was a tween and most of those movies that I ended up loving so much came from John Hughes. Some of his movies brought together misfits and "popular kids," and gave others a perspective that the grass isn't always greener on the other side.
So when I had the chance to review a 5 movie collection from John Hughes, I knew I was going to love it. Not only does it include two of my favs, Ferris Bueller's Day Off and Pretty In Pink, but it also includes three other movies I hadn't seen in years. So it was nice to take some time to sit back and relax, grab some popcorn and a few adult beverages and head back to the '80s. Since I recently watched and reviewed Pretty In Pink, I started off with Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Some Kind of Wonderful, She's Having My Baby, Planes Trains, and Automobiles.
It was great to go back in time and watch some classics and introduce some movies to my teenagers. They've both seen Pretty in Pink, so I had them watch Ferris Bueller's Day Off and they both absolutely loved it. They can't wait to go back to school in person and one day, maybe, have a day off like Ferris did, minus "borrowing" a vehicle.
All five movies brought back so many memories and left me reminiscing on the past, but glad it's behind us and that I now have these movies in my movie collection to watch whenever I feel like back to the '80s. This 5 movie collection is now available on blu-ray as of February 23, 2021.
