John Hughes’ ability to connect to teenagers in the ‘80s is why he was famous, as both a writer and a director. His ability to craft minor characters is what truly set him apart. From very small one-line cameos to characters with one or two short scenes often end up the characters with the most quotable lines in movies chock full of lines film fans say all the time to each other. Like any list, it’s hard to pick out the best, but we think you’ll agree that these are classic miner characters in Hughes’ films.

Car rental agent – Planes, Trains and Automobiles

Edie McClurg was a mainstay in John Hughes movies and one of her shining moments was a fairly brief scene at the St. Louis airport in Planes, Trains and Automobiles when Steve Martin’s character, Neil Page, attempts to rent a car in his desperate bid to get home for Thanksgiving. McClurg plays a very pleasant car rental agent forced to listen to Page’s profanity-filled barrage towards her. She takes it all in before delivering one of the best lines of the movie: “You’re fucked.”
