1986 Directed by John Hughes
A high school slacker pretends to be sick to skip school and have an exciting day off alongside his girlfriend and his best buddy through Chicago, while trying to outwit his obsessive school principal and his unconformited sister along the way.
In a selfish attempt to cope with his separation anxiety, a sociopathic student abuses his relationship with his mentally unstable best friend in order to throw his future away on a single day of raucous debauchery.
i got lost today in the art institute trying to find the painting that cameron had an existential crisis in front of but it was fucking worth it
"Oh, he's very popular Ed. The sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, wastoids, dweebies, dickheads - they all adore him. They think he's a righteous dude."
I have seen this film more times than I can count and I still do not understand the age difference between ferris and jeannie?????? I always assumed that jeannie was older but then why are they both in high school??? ferris is leaving school next year so there's no way that jeannie could be a year older unless she was held back?????? and if she's younger then how come she got a car and he didn't????????? are they meant to be twins???????? are they less than a year apart in age but still in the same school year????? someone please explain this to me or I'm gonna have to resurrect john hughes to clear this up

In only a span of six years, John Hughes managed to direct some of the best comedies from the 80’s which surprisingly hold up very well to this day. Ferris Bueller’s Day Off is still regarded as a classic in the genre and despite being a simple mainstream movie, Matthew Broderick delivers such an iconic performance that many teens continue to fall in love with his character as the decades pass. The gags are handled with perfect comedic timing and the soundtrack has become such a recognizable tune in pop culture. I don’t know exactly what it is that has made…
I knew what I was getting into going into this thing. Matthew Broderick is one of my most hated actors of all time, and I knew this film would be him trying to be super cool and charismatic, and constantly breaking the fourth wall in the most unfunny way possible, and everyone thinking he's the second coming of Christ.
But I watched it anyway, because it's such a goddamn classic bro! A seven point fucking eight on IMDB doesn't lie, right?
It does. Ferris is even more of an insufferable twat than I could have possibly imagined, a complete asshole that manipulates everyone around him to get what he wants, and spoiler alert: if there's a character that doesn't absolutely…

Ferris Bueller is the original Tyler Durden.
cameron in that opening scene is me every minute of my life
also this film has just the most perfect pacing
Bueller? Bueller? Bueller?
Ferris Bueller's day off is my favorite film of all time. I'm not quite sure what about it make me like it so much, but something about it make me return to it over and over again. John Hughs truly understood teenagers to a point where almost every film he made in the 80s still have a lasting impact on teenagers to this day. I believe that this film as well as other like Sixteen Candles, and The Breakfast Club will forever be loved for the rest of time.
