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

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. ❤️🎥

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.

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.

I think when we finally got our own VCR and I had my own copy of Ferris, my brothers copy was barely watchable anymore :-)

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?
