I hope kids today still watch his films and enjoy them 40 years later.

2006ish is a weird middle ground though. You're 7 years past 10 Things I hate about you, two past Mean Girls. In 06 you have things like She's the Man (doing the Teen Shakespeare adaptation thing) and John Tucker Must Die.
It's right before the Teen Movie becomes YA Authoritarian Rebellon adaptations.
Off the top of my head, the closest thing in the 00s you get to a Teen John Huges like movie is probably Superbad.
