Life Moves Pretty Fast: The John Hughes Mixtapes

Compilation of music from the movies of legendary filmmaker John Hughes, covering the classic eighties period. For anyone growing up in the 1980s, the films of John Hughes are some of the most iconic of the decade and have created a lasting cultural impact still felt and referenced across TV, film and music.
