Don't You Forget About Me is a 2009 Canadian documentary film about screenwriter, director, and producer John Hughes.
Directed by Matt Austin, the film was named after the 1985 song of the same name by Simple Minds, which in turn was the theme song for Hughes' film The Breakfast Club.
The film specifically focused on Hughes' fade from prominence in the early 1990s.
Those interviewed include Ilan Mitchell-Smith, Ally Sheedy, Judd Nelson, Kelly Le Brock, Mia Sara, Alan Ruck, Kevin Smith, Roger Ebert, and Jim Kerr of the band Simple Minds.
