Consider this a salute to writer-director John Hughes, whose first two films as a writer-director are presented as a prime-time double feature. Sixteen Candles, from 1984, starts things off, starring Molly Ringwald as a teenager with an impending birthday and some serious issues to confront, at school and at home. Costars include Paul Dooley and such members of the Hughes “company” as Anthony Michael Hall and John Cusack. Ringwald and Hall also would costar in Hughes’ follow-up youth picture, The Breakfast Club, which AMC shows tonight at 10 ET.
