sorry to hear it!Lines like"Those arnt pillows"from planes ,trains and automobiles are classic!

Just saw this on another thread... Terribly sad!

He made some really great films.

One of the best ever imo. He truly captured the cliquishnness of highschool, and the angst that lay beneath everyones public persona. Not only hilarious, but terribly moving at the same time. Tremedous work. Love this film.
