Most of Hughes' work is set in the Chicago metropolitan area. He is best known for his coming-of-age teen comedy films which often combined magic realism with honest depictions of suburban teenage life.
Also, any of his most enduring characters from these years were written for American actress, singer and author Molly Ringwald, who was Hughes' muse.
