The 10 Hottest Actresses in John Hughes Movies
10. Lucy Deakins (The Great Outdoors) – I know it probably seems creepy that I'm including a 15-year-old girl in this list, but I was 10 when this movie first came out and she created quite an impression on me back then. It's not like if the movie had come out last year, I'd be chatting with her online and buying her Mike's Hard Lemonade so we could party when her parents are out of town. Plus, after re-watching the movie as an adult I've realized that Cammie is kind of psycho in the movie (way too clingy and has abandonment issues), which is a big turn off. Unfortunately, YouTube doesn't have any videos of any of her scenes in "The Great Outdoors" except this one. It's some weird tribute to the movie set to a crappy song. She appears halfway through it.
9. Ally Sheedy (The Breakfast Club) - Yeah, that's right. Ally Sheedy over Molly Ringwald. I never had a crush or anything on Ally Sheedy but Molly Ringwald was more overrated in the 80's than the little zipper pocket on KangaROOS shoes. Plus Claire is a fat girl's name.
8. Beverly D'Angelo (Vacation) – Insert played-out MILF joke here.
7. Jennifer Grey (Ferris Bueller's Day Off) – It is hard to find anything likable about Jeannie "Shawna" Bueller while she is trying to bust her brother's balls. But once she lets her guard down when talking to a drug addict (like any of us would) her bitch-face disappears and she lets the world know how cute she can be. Don't try anything with her, though, because she has her father's gun and a scorching case of herpes.
6. Nicolette Scorcese (Christmas Vacation) – Clark W. Griswold sure knows how to pick 'em when it comes to fantasizing about women other than his wife.
5. Jennifer Lopez (Maid in Mahattan) – Yes, this is actually a John Hughes movie. (He wrote it under a pen name.) And no, I haven't actually seen this movie. (It can't be as good as "The Wedding Planner," so why bother?) I don't have to have seen this movie to know that I would've like be on the receiving end of her taco-flavored kisses. (At least up until she started hooking up with that singer who looks like a drowned rat with a crack addiction.)
4. Christie Brinkley (Vacation) – While she definitely belongs on this list, I have to admit that she is ranked this high simply for being the impetus for Chevy Chase to start dancing with his sandwich.
3. Kelly LeBrock (Weird Science) - Did you know that John Oates of Hall and Oates wrote "Maneater" after dating Kelly LeBrock? John Oates! This fact blows me away for two reasons. The first is that Oates actually contributed to the band. I always figured he was dead weight. The second is that a man who looks like John "Baba Booey" Oates hooked up with Kelly LeBrock. I don't know if I should start learning to play an instrument or start growing a bushy mustache. 2. Jennifer Connelly (Career Opportunities) – Back in 1991 before the internet spoiled teenagers forever with easy access to naked women, these scenes were about as good as it got. And that's not a complaint. 1. Mia Sara (Ferris Bueller's Day Off) – This is my favorite movie of all time, so it stands to reason that I find Sloane Peterson hot as hell. I can see why Ferris would want to marry her while still in high school and I totally get why Cameron faked being catatonic in order to sneak a peek of Sloane naked. And the look she gives 2:05 into the below clip? It just does it for me, simple as that.
