Bonus Features: Classics come home in the John Hughes 5-Movie Collection

If you’ve ever enjoyed a high school movie, then you probably have John Hughes to thank. He’s played a part in creating some of the most beloved films of the 1980s and ’90s, from “The Breakfast Club” to “Home Alone” and plenty more.

No genre was more shaped by Hughes than the high school movie, though, and his influences are still being felt today. Now, five of his all-time greatest hits are coming home in one convenient place: Blu-ray and Digital!

Paramount Home Entertainment’s “John Hughes 5-Movie Collection” features “Pretty In Pink,” “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” and “Planes, Trains and Automobiles,” as well as the Blu-ray debuts of “She’s Having a Baby” and “Some Kind of Wonderful.” The combo pack hits stores on February 23, just in time for the 35th anniversary of “Pretty in Pink” and “Ferris Bueller” this year.

On top of five classic films, the five-disc collection and its digital counterpart comes loaded with bonus features, too, and we’re here to break it all down.
