FERRIS BUELLER'S DAY OFF - John Hughes Revisited
Welcome to John Hughes Revisited, where we take a look back at the works of the undisputed king of the teenage-angst genre. This week, we’re kicking off the series with one of the most beloved John Hughes movies, FERRIS BUELLER'S DAY OFF - the pinnacle of teen comedies. A massive success when it premiered in 1986, its empowering message of friendship and self-worth still resonates now, on the 35th anniversary of its release!
In this video, we’ll dive into the production itself, the casting of Matthew Broderick, Alan Ruck, Mia Sara & Jeffrey Jones, and how the film was Hughes' love letter to the city of Chicago. We'll look into what makes Ferris Bueller tick, its lasting legacy, and even a bizarre 90s television show adaptation of the film. So take a sick day and relax while you revisit one of the greatest 80s films of all time.

He gets away with it though, not least because he puts in a superbly convincing performance as an angst ridden, dysfunctional teenager struggling to assert himself. On a tangentially related note the title for most unconvincing teenage character played by a much older actor in cinema surely remains with _33 year old_ Stockard Channing in _Grease_ trying to pass for 16!
As a kid growing up for me, Ferris Bueller was the definition of the sly, charming cool guy you wanted to be growing up. Broderick delivered it so well. While Hughes wrote him perfectly. Truly understanding and encapsulating the life of a teen. And still does. There's also no greater reflection of the youthful, carefree teenager spirit than Ferris.
This is one of those movies where you just absolutely fall in love with it, the first time you see it.
"Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it." Happy 35th Birthday, Ferris Bueller!

Better off Dead is one of the great 80s teen comedies too.
I watched this movie dozens of times when I was a kid, as a result Ferris Bueller's Day Off has firmly maintained its position at the top of my favorite movies of all time list. It's literally the first movie that pops into my head when I'm asked about my favorite movie.
How in the world could John Hughes know how to impact 'England'? Hughes smashed English humour again and again. The Breakfast Club. Weird Science. Planes, Trains and Automobiles. John Hughes hit England between the eyes. He floored us, and gave us impossible freeform joy. Maybe, as an Englishman, I didn't fully understand 'America,' but I did fully understand wild, up-to-the-minute, directly-engaging humour. John Hughes remains forever young. Thank you, John, for being my crazy cool American friend. A special thank-you must also go to Mr Broderick.
I saw this as a kid for the first time in a drive-in back in 1986 and loved it. I watch it at least once a year. It is a classic. I saw it as a double feature along with the Ralph Macchio film Crossroads.

As a Chicago native, senior in 1986 and resident of the area where most of it is set…the biggest problem with the film overall is that most of the things they did during their day of “hookie” would have had to be done simultaneously. The Cubs Game would have been at noon and ended around 3PM which means the only other things they could have done was go to the Art Institute, Sears Tower or The Mercantile Exchange in the morning…no lunch unless the game was omitted….and do all before 2PM…the baseball game really needed to be eliminated, to make any of it possible. The Von Steuben Day Parade also occurs in September not late in the school year…and is always on Saturday…not a school day. My classmate from 1986 actually played the girl on the payphone with Ferris…it was originally intended for Kristi Swanson who was later inserted as Simone Adamly in the economics class.
This movie is a perfect example of rewatchable. And absolutely loved watch Josh Gad's reunited apart

Indeed, this movie changed so much. In the 80s big screen movies allows us to dream of us being the characters on the screen. Not imaginary "Avengers" superheroes but teenagers who find themselves in some extraordianery situations. "Back to The Furutre", "Ferris Bueller's Day Off"... Man, those were the days!

Ferris Bueller is such iconic movie , Matthew Broderick and Alan Ruck were amazing as Ferris and Cameron ,they always where underrated actors.
So distinctly remember seeing this movie in the theater, and it was love at first watch. Immediately vaulted into my inner circle of favorite films, up there with the original Star Wars trilogy, Indiana Jones, ET, Flash Gordon and Bugsy Malone.
Man it really saddens me that Hollywood drove John Hughes away! He just stopped making movies after a while and that's a damn tragedy! His movies are amazing!

FBDO reminds me a lot of another Hughes' classic "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles" --- most of the movie is a hilarious comedy but there is one dramatic scene that really hits you in the feels --- the crashed Ferrari scene and how Cameron will deal with his Dad --- and then the ending of "Planes" where Del Griffith reveals he's a homeless widower
Jeannie was my 2nd favorite character. She was too good. The chase at the end and bailing out Ferris. Kicking Rooney in the face. Calling the cops. Talking to Charlie Sheen. So funny and cute
My much older brother was a teenager in the ‘80s and let me watch everything he watched. I used to rent this movie and others like it every weekend when I was like 5 yrs old, which is weird!!
Best 80s comedy in history. Personally love this movie. ❤️🎥
John has some pretty classic flicks - look forward to the next entry in the series!
A true classic. I remember seeing it in theaters when I was 24. Yep! I'm old..
Completely true story! My ex-boyfriend back in 86 talked me into dropping acid at two in the morning. I remember we were driving around all night trying to find a prostitute to buy a pound of weed. And all I can remember is starting to come down in the matinee showing of Ferris Bueller‘s Day off. We didn’t go to bed all night we decided to go to the movies the next day. It took me 10 years and one videotape later to realize I wasn’t tripping during the after credit scene where he talks to the screen. Do you know how mine blowing that was 10 years later!

This movie will always be a classic of Chicago like “Blues Brothers”. Although it’s hard to watch Jeffrey Jones in his role given what we know of his personal behavior. Thankfully the “teenage” cast (Mia Sara being the only one age appropriate at the time 😆) and John Hughes with his script make it enjoyable
My favorite thing about this movie is Mia Sara. She’s so beautiful, and I love her in this and Legend. It’s a shame she wasn’t in a lot more things, cuz the woman was/is absolutely stunning.

The fact that Ferris Bueller, the COOL KID, skipped school to go to the flipping ART GALLERY was one of the highlights of my youth. He instantly made it cool, like how Lotte Lenya gave instant intellectual credibility to the James Bond franchise by playing the Bond villain Rosa Klebb in From Russia with Love.

For John Hughes "Ferris Bueller's..." is truly the "watershed" movie that bridged the gap between his teenage era and the more mature phase of "Planes, Trains...", "Uncle Buck" and "Curly Sue".

back in the early early 90s, it must have been 90 or 91, when we (I was a teenager living with my father) did not own a VCR, but my older brother, who was already married at that point, did and he also had a copy of Ferris Bueller and I watched the movie EVERY SINGLE TIME I visited him because I did find it so funny and so great in general. I think when we finally got our own VCR and I had my own copy of Ferris, my brothers copy was barely watchable anymore :-)
I love this movie so much. To this day I notice if I see a "Mia Sara type".
Movie brings back a lot of 1980s Nostalgia for me. Although if you think about it Ferris Bueller isn't a very nice person, he's also a very manipulative person.

How could you miss one of the most fascinating results of the production? Cindy Pickett played Ferris' mom and Lyman Ward played Ferris's dad. They married in real life after performing together in this movie. Unfortunately, it didn't last and they divorced in 1992. I remember two dates; 1986, when the movie was released, and 1992 when the "parents" divorced, because my wife and I got married in 1986 and our first child was born in 1992.

My favorite fun fact about this film is that the actor who played the garage attendant was the original drummer for Sonic Youth.
There is a scene where an actor who looks like Anthony Michael Hall is walking down the hallway in the school (possibly when the student approaches Jeanie). Seeing that this movie is set at the same high school as The Breakfast Club, I like to imagine that this is Brian from The Breakfast Club and that Ferris and Cameron are in some of the same classes as The Breakfast Club gang. It’s mostly unlikely that it was Anthony Michael Hall but it’s a nice fantasy. Ferris would be the King Bee of the school whereas Claire from The Breakfast Club would be the Queen Bee.
In my top 3 movies. Maybe number 1
11:06 so THAT'S how it is in their family!
Wasn't there a Wargames reference when Ferris hacks into the school computer to change his absence record?
