I can't believe I'm admitting this, but I still keep up with recent One Tree Hill episodes. I started the show back in the day when it was good and I was young, and out of pure boredom I keep up with it even though it's gone way down hill. Now when I watch the current season I find that I have to do something else while I'm watching it otherwise I'll get too bored, but the last episode (Season 7 Episode 15) was different. The episode was dedicated to the late John Hughes and was filled with references to his movies. Being the 80's fan geek that I am, I loved it. If anyone's ever been a fan of One Tree Hill I'd definitely recommend watching it.

Sixteen Candles references:
- Everyone forgets Haley's birthday
- The dumb blonde bitch get's her hair stuck in a locker
- Nathan stands in front of a red sports car (even only he were as hot as Jake Ryan...)
- Haley and Nathan kiss over a birthday cake (the above picture)

The Breakfast Club references:
- "Don't You Forget About Me" plays in the beginning (I was kind of glad this was the only reference to this movie because so many other shows have done Breakfast Club parodies)

Weird Science references:
- Junk and Fergie make Mouth the perfect woman online (yes, those are real character names)

Pretty In Pink references:
- Brooke tears apart an old unattractive dress and turns it into a new unattractive dress

Home Alone references:
- Jamie (aka the cutest kid on television) is left home alone
