Another great
John Hughes film is
1987 Some Kind of Wonderful.
I think you'd love the film...
amber heard comment was tasteless.
The city was Chicago not New York 😉
You need some comedy after The Boys season premiere. I think you've been traumatized. lol
Btw, I was just curious if you're even going to continue the season or not.
@@normlee6566 So is Amber Heard, so ...
As a Chicagoan, my soul died a little every time you called Chicago New York.
So did mine,as a New Yorker 😂
Well, the Ferris Bueller house is actually in Long Beach
Yeah I felt it in my soul everytime she called it New York and they even say its Chicago at least four times in the movie.
Yeah
Me too. Hahaha
Ferris learned his hacking skills from when he inadvertently broke into the US nuclear defense system. 😄
I understand that reference!
He broke the system by playing tic tac toe
Do you want to play a game?
That game got out of hand real quick.
WOPR
Someone once explained this film as a best friend trying to save his friend from depression and the whole film seems different. Cameron needed someone to help break out of his own psyche and confront his father - that's what makes the scene after he wrecks the car so moving ;)
Another theory is that Cameron is schizophrenic and both Sloane and Ferris bueller are figments of his imagination. Think on that a little bit...
*That's on-point. All of Hughes teen films deals with serious problems that we go through as teenagers.*
Ferris is a figment of his imagination
sort of... Ferris isn't real, he's all in Cameron's head & Ferris is everything Cam wishes he could be
Yeah that one never made sense to me because we see far too many scenes between Ferris and his family that Cameron would have had nothing to do with lol. @@Gravydog316
The movie is actually set in Chicago. Director John Hughes is from Chicago and loves to set his films in his home city.
*loved 😢
@@krashd *Everytime I watch his films, Hughes lives.*

Also the world’s tallest building in 1986 was the Willis Tower in Chicago
There is a strong argument to be made that Ferris is not the protagonist: Cameron is. Ferris's character doesn't have an arc - he doesn't learn anything, he doesn't grow, he doesn't change. He is essentially the mythical Trickster who introduces chaos and and gives others the opportunity to grow. Cameron grows up and develops some self-confidence - even his sister, Jeannie grows.
it's a clever script, and a deservedly iconic film.
And I still carry a torch for Mia Sara (who was also in "Legend" with Tom Cruise and the brilliant Tim Curry)
Cameron or, as you say, Jeannie. Both characters are the only ones to have an actual "rites of passage" arc.
So totally agreed (with both of you) - basically, Ferris isn't Luke, he's Obi Wan :).
There is another theory, one that say that Ferris Bueller doesn't exist, it's all inside Cameron's mind, Ferris is who he wanted to be.
Loving parents, a girlfriend (or Slone is actually someone he likes in school), a brotherly rivalry, to be loved...everything he doesn't have.
There is also the theory that his sister represents the rules he needs to follow vs Ferris that represents freedom and to be oneself.
All in all, this is John Hughes masterpiece.
Mia did an excellent performance in Bullet to Beijing. Michael Caine and Jason Connery turn in great performances in that film as well.
Incorrect. This is simply what is called a "Flat Arc" where the protagonist acts as the inciting character for the rest of the cast. He changes those around him, instead of the other way around. It is seen less often but, when done properly, it is awesome.
Maximus in Ridley Scott's Gladiator is another example, as is Paddington the bear in both films
Dark Mia Sara...my heart!
The teacher calling for Bueller over and over is iconic for those of us that watched this in the 80s. That guy’s monotone voice took him far back in the day
His name is Ben Stein and he was not an actor at the time.
@@chriscarter557 I think he even got his own gameshow back in the day. He was fun to watch
@@chriscarter557 Started out as a speechwriter for Nixon, if I'm not mistaken.
Something V-O-O economics? Anyone?
@@mangerinegirl Voodoo economics.
Charlie Sheen being the kid in the police station arrested for drugs aged PERFECTLY imo 😂🤣😂🤣
As a child of the 70s/80s, it's funny watching younger people nowadays watching these films through the lens of modern times. "Wouldn't he get caught running through everyone's backyards?" Nope. We all did that back then. It was a different world. And with no "connected" technology beyond landline phones. You could tell your mom you were going for a bike ride at 8am and not get back till bedtime and that was totally normal.
This is an absolute classic movie.
💯% true ✓
Being from the area, I once rode my bike (at 12 yrs old) from one end of Palatine Rd (in Winnetka) to the other end (in Barrington)
My biggest issue by far with young peoples reactions to old comedies is that they question everything that happens without laughing at ANYTHING that happens. I was a teenager in the 90s when 80s comedies were still very popular. I first saw this when i was about 17 and i laughed the whole way through it.
Then that generation grew up and started calling the cops lol
I think we failed this generation by squashing their ability the learn humor.
I’m sure someone already said this, but the movie is set in Chicago, not New York.
And you missed that Deadpool parodied the post credit scene.
But other than that, your reactions are terrific as always. Keep ‘em comin’ Mary!
I was about to say the same. LOL Shy town.
Everything that needed to be addressed is in this comment lol
Not gonna lie it irritated me
and steve from stranger things did a pizza commercial that was the run home
@@theoriginalfluff5317 The Run from the party where Peter Parker was to show up as Spiderman to impress Ned in Spiderman Homecoming was also an homage to the run home in this movie. They even show part of it in the movie during Spidey's run scene on a tv as Spiderman runs through someone's backyard.
When Ferris says that Cameron is going to be OK, I think he means in the long term, as a result of his new found self confidence.
sort of... Ferris isn't real, he's all in Cameron's head & Ferris is everything Cam wishes he could be
29:04 "That didn't age well ..."
Sheen's appetite for drugs and women was well established by that point and was known in Hollywood circles as "The Machine". The reason he looks completely strung out/wasted is because he was (allegedly), having spent the three previous nights awake. But also shows why they called him "The Machine", even 3 days strung out he still delivers a memorable performance.
That's just his way of getting into character 👍
It's from all that tiger blood
@@15blackshirt and cocaine .., *LOTS* of cocaine
@@jonesey251, it's the tiger blood that allows him to keep using without being harmed
For the longest time I never knew that him and Emilio Estevez were brothers. It makes sense because they resemble eachother

"I MUST TYPE THINGS"
To be fair, pretty much all cities in North America look the same.
@@jehu1313 you don't get out much do you?
@@jehu1313 Miami is quite different than Chicago or Detroit...
This film immortalized breaking the fourth wall, including telling people who watched the end credits to go home (no films did cut scenes for sequels at the time, just gag/blooper reels during credits). If you didn't notice, Deadpool's end credit scene was a play on this film (lol, including deadpool wearing the same exact robe).
I think Moonlighting did the breaking the fourth wall thing first!
@@mrfloosak Richard III by Shakespeare. Breaks the fourth wall all through the play. And the movies, of course.
@@mrfloosak Groucho Marx.
I thought Cameron, aka the brilliant Alan Ruck, easily had the best character in the movie. He was so scared of everything.. At the end he finally finds the confidence in himself to finally take a stand.
Absolutely, 1,000%. Best actor and best character, and even though I adore every microsecond of this film, Cameron's arc is what makes it so special.
The end credit scene for Deadpool is a shot for shot recreation of the end credit scene in this movie. He even wears the same bathrobe.
Also, the first teacher went on to make the Visine "get the red out" commercial.
Ben Stein
It should also be noted the great Ben Stein is an epic writer and used to write speeches for Nixon.
@@scipio7837 He's also the famous psychologist in The Mask that explains the mask being a vessel for Loki.
"We all wear masks metaphorically speakiiiiiinnnnnnggg....." 😂🤣
@@mnomadvfx yes, yes. wasn't going to go too far in the rabbit hole.
Dear Aussie, not every city in the US is NewYork City. This was in fact the city of Chicago, Ferris essentially took you for a tour of the city. The tall building they were looking down from was the Sears Tower, at the time the tallest building in the world, Wrigley Field, Home of the Chicago Cubs, and the Art Institute of Chicago.The house Cameron lived in was in Lake Forest, a VERY exclusive northern suburb of Chicago. Why Chicago, the writer John Hughs grew up there. But, I still love you.
Cameron's house is actually a property located in the Ravines area in Highland Park, not Lake Forest.
Not condescending at all though
It's especially funny after they said "Chicago" at least twice in the movie. Oh well...
Two other clues that it's Chicago, just for the sake of trivia: The school secretary has a Midwestern accent, and Cameron is wearing a jersey for the Detroit Red Wings.
@@dudermcdudeface3674 Clues that no one outside the US would recognise.
As a point of reference, the last 1961 Ferrari GT California Spyder that sold at public auction went for a little over $17M USD. I think Cameron's dad may have been a little upset in the end.
this movie is set in Chicago, not NY. They even said it multiple times.
There's more than one big city in America? 😉
I grew up near where this was filmed outside Chicago, and I was 16 years old in 1986. One of my favorite films.
Is that a suburb of New York?
yeah and other people corrected her before you felt the need to also correct her, so good job KenRock
@@dustyb58 ok so I just watched this video and I’m starting to feel everybody’s pain… it’s CHICAGO, NOT NEW YORK! Lol 😂
Alan Ruck, Mia Sara & Jennifer Grey are criminally underrated. Not to take anything from Matthew Broderick, his brilliance is widely acknowledged. This is an ensemble comedy & the other actors are the critical ingredients in this recipe for this classic.
I was 13 when this came out and I LOVED it. It was a phenomenon. There are a lot of teen “coming of age” movies from the 80s, and this is one of the best. Breakfast Club, Fast Times At Ridgemont High, Sixteen Candles and a few others are among them. Also, the original Karate Kid and even the Goonies fit in that category to a degree.
Yes, no sh*t. Everybody knows that the 80s has the best “teen movies”
And Stand By Me. Also an awesome coming of age movie.
@@eldavinci1690 an under appreciated 80s movie was Fright Night (1985)
You don’t ever hear about it as much as other 80s movies
.Allow me to add Stand By Me and Dead Poet's Society
@@nsasupporter7557 Yes it was a good one- will watch it again with my son.
The appeal of Ferris Beuller as a character is exactly what makes him so despised by Jeanie: he gets away with everything you know you never could. He's the trickster, magician, and prince all in one. An interesting argument could almost be made that he's an antihero instead of a hero.
IMO he's ABSOLUTELY an anti-hero at best. Mainly because he's an absolute PRICK to his "best friend" Cameron.
@@DavidGowers I see your point, but OTOH his effect on Cameron could just as well be described as necessary stimulus to drive his growth and maturity, similar to how fire can be essential to a healthy forest bed.
@@submandave1125 I think his intentions with Cameron always started out with an earnest to help him but his overall motives were selfish. He used Cameron in many ways just to get what HE wanted.
@@SurvivorBri As the youngsters seem fond of saying these days, intentions do not equal effects.
sort of... Ferris isn't real, he's all in Cameron's head & Ferris is everything Cam wishes he could be
Ferris did well for himself, becoming an architect and eventually having cable installed in his apartment. Though that was a bit of a chore. Cameron, on the other hand, had quite a harrowing vacation in LA, and is now quite skittish when it comes to public transportation.
But then Cameron's descendant did go on to captain the Enterprise B!
Sloane married a time travelling policeman but since her husband was always galavanting through time she would often reminisce about Bueller.
Mary: "That didn't age well."
Me: "It aged perfectly!"
The parade scene is very nostalgic for me. Him singing twist and shout and everyone dancing is amazing.
I wore my vhs tape out watching that part over and over.
It turns out MB was terrified of shooting that scene…but just went for it when the time came.
If I am not mistaken, "twist and shout" broke the top 40 again, after this movie came out.
(did a double check, 7 weeks in top 40, in 1986.)
I’m an 80s kid so this is a favourite of mine. Classic 80s. The Ferris running through the back yards was recreated in Spider-Man homecoming when Spider-Man was running thru the back yards. Even one house they are watching Ferris bueller. Love your reactions as always mary cherry 🍒 where the content may vary.
They used the ending on Deadpool too
I remember thinking of this movie when watching that scene in Spider-Man. I had no idea it was intentional!
@@liliangomes7658 yeah. the are you still here. Movies over. Go home. Dead pool was in his bathrobe 😄
Interesting that you said “to gives me Home Alone vibes” because John Hughes wrote that too. He also wrote and directed such 80s hits as Pretty in pink, Sixteen Candles, planes Train and Automobiles , The Breakfast Club, Uncle Buck and many more
I legit almost tripped while walking when you called Chicago NEW YORK. As a Chicagoan, that hurt 😂😭
I don’t know if any told you but this takes place in Chicago not New York. Ferries’s family live in the suburbs, but they work in the city.
The thing with the hand signs was the Chicago stock Exchange.
Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME). They're trading futures, not stocks.
I watched Ferris Bueller's Day Off 5 times in the cinema when it was first released. My friends never stayed for the credits so I didn't even know about the 'Go home' part until my 3rd viewing. This was the movie that made me decide to always stay in my seat until the lights go up and the cleaners start coming around vacuuming up the popcorn.
Same.
I had a big crush on Mia Sara (Sloane) growing up, she was such a cutie. Between this and Legend, she was an 80's icon heart throb for a lot of guys! Well, her and Ally Sheedy, Molly Ringwald, a few others!
In 1986, the Chicago Cubs temporarily relocated to New York City while Wrigley Field was being renovated.
Chicago Institute of Art relocated at the same time ;)
She’s from Australia bruh, chill out.
You can make fun of the boing teacher (Ben Stein) all you want, but one of the questions in my US History final was about the Smoot Hawley tariff act and I aced that series of questions specifically because of this movie.
The running through the backyards was referenced in Spider-Man Homecoming. (One of the people in Spider-Man was even watching Ferris Bueller)
Jennifer Grey and Charlie Sheen are in "Red Dawn" together. Mia Sara is also very good in "Legend". Matthew Brodrick is also very good in "War Games".
This movie is set in Chicago, not New York City. It's even said multiple times. Chicago PD, the skyline, tallest building in the world which was the Sears Tower at the time in the 80s which is now the Willis Tower.
‘The Sausage King of Chicago’ …..I guess he could have lunch in New York? Illinois license plates. There were a few clues, 45-50. Ahh, we’re pretty, we’ll be alright.
And if you have ever had to deal with Sear's customer service, you are okay with calling it the Willis Tower.
One of the best of the 80s. It’s so quotable.
That “this teacher is giving me Great Depression” line got me 😂
Haha!
@@MaryCherryOfficialhii
I think the main reason Jeanie stood up for her brother at the end of the movie is because she realized that he did finally get caught and that was enough for her and so she bailed him out of his predicament.
This is one of the most iconic movies of all time I’m glad your watching it
Ferris Bueller's Day Off is one of my top 10 all time movies
“Even the furniture is so 80s” hmmm I wonder why
This film isn't actually that '80's, compared to some 80's movies at least. This could easily be a 90's-2000's film too (just without mobile tech).
I was 16 when I saw this. Skipping school was a lot easier than Ferris made it out to be, but then the movie wouldn't be as good. Lol loved it
No kidding, he could have just left and pretended to go to school and wouldn't have to go through all that work with his parent's, the acting, rigging everything up. I guess the jig would be up when he calls his mom though. They didn't do that at my school's. They would do a recorded message in the evening and you just had to be the one to answer the phone.
Ferris is a wonderful friend. He changed Cameron's life for the better. Cameron will catch hell for the car, but after that, he's going to be so much better because he's finally learned that he has to face his fears and anxieties. Ferris has superhuman levels of confidence, charm, and BS powers that he used to push Cameron until he was forced into confronting the worst aspects of his life. The last we see of Cameron, he looks truly happy. That's what Ferris meant by him going to be ok. Not the getting into trouble over the car but his overall approach to life going forward.
A side effect of all the day's activities was the growth of his sister. Learning to focus on herself more than everyone else like Charlie Sheen suggested to her. She was the awful one, not Ferris. That's why the parents treated her differently and why the secretary immediately said, "Hello, Jeannie, who's bothering you now" when she saw her walk through the door. Everyone knew what her problem was but her.
Yes, I've seen this movie a thousand times and given it A LOT of thought.
Jennifer Grey is famous for the movie Dirty Dancing. She was also married to Clark Gregg (Agent Coulson)
She was also dating [during the filming], and later engaged to Broderick. But a lot of people don’t realize their characters were fraternal twins in the movie. How they missed it is beyond me?
City is Chicago, and the room full of guys doing crazy hand gestures with Cameron imitating them is the Chicago Mercantile Exchange(corrected)***
Also Chicago has some 🔥FIRE🔥 food choices if you ever plan to visit
Could be CME (Chicago Mercantile Exchange) which deals in futures and options trading and still exists. Also, I was surprised after he was called "Sausage King of Chicago", Cameron said "this is the Chicago PD" and they went to a Cubs game that she still was calling it New York. I guess most people from outside of US just see big city and assume.
Haha-- now known as the NYSE? How could the Chicago Mercantile Exchange now be known as the New York Stock Exchange? It is STILL known as the CME. Mary is clueless about American cities. CME is the largest options and futures contracts open interest exchange of any futures exchange in the world. The Merc as it's also called - also specializes in interest rates, currencies, and commodities among other financial instruments- including the corrupt bond market.

Jennifer Grey, who plays Ferris' sister, is best known for co-starring in 1987's Dirty Dancing with Patrick Swayze. The 2 of them (along with an all-star ensemble cast) had previously starred in 1984's Red Dawn. Red Dawn, of course, was remade in 2012 starring Chris Hemsworth.
If you're doing six degrees of Chris Hemsworth, Jennifer Grey is married to Clark Gregg, who played Agent Coulson in The Avengers, with Chris Hemsworth.
@@shanerux8971 I didn't know that...
What a small mukltiverse!
@@shanerux8971 was* married to Clark Gregg
I'm only half-way through. Does Mary ever realize it isn't New York? 50/50. 😉
nope lol
Lol that's what I said. They even mention the Chicago Sausage King or even go to a Chicago Cubs game and The Sears Tower. Classic American stereotype where every american city movie is in New York!
Also Chicago is 800 miles away from New York City in Illinois
Mathew Broderick actually plays Simba in the lion king
And Inspector Gadget.
And the worm guy in that giant lizard movie.
"A beautiful day is rare in America?"
In the Chicago area, during the school year (late August to early June)? Yes, they can be quite rare.
"This gives me a home Alone vibes" Both films were written and directed by John Hughes.
John Hughes wrote Home Alone, but Chris Columbus directed it.
@@dougbank107 before or after he discovered america?
I felt Cameron did the one thing Ferris never could and that was taking responsibility. He's the hero of this story.
What are you talking about? Did you not hear Ferris tell Cameron he would take “the heat”. His character would take responsibility if caught. He just never gets caught.
The car in the movie is represented as an insanely valuable car. (Although it was actually a cheap fiberglass replica used for filming) A real 1961 Ferrari California is worth at least $20 million dollars.
How much would it have cost in the early '80s?
@@deepermind4884 Hard to say but probably around $1 million. The car's original price in 1961 was $13,600. Auction prices in the mid 1990s was around $2.5 million. A 1961 Ferrari California was the first production car that broke the $10 million dollar sale price in 2008. (Only vehicles that had a run of more than 100 units are considered a production car) There are likely less than 30 of them in running condition left. The last one I believe sold for about 19 million in 2016.Most are in museums.
BTW, a 1963 Ferrari GTO recently sold for $70 million dollars. But Ferrari only made 36 GTOs.
.
They couldn’t even afford having the real car just sitting on the set, never mind driving it.
It's not New York. This is John Hughes love letter to the city of Chicago where he grew up. When they are atop the skyscraper, it's the famous "Willis Tower", formerly called "Sears Tower".
Oh, and his mom and dad in this movie got along SO well, they ended up getting married in real life. True story.
The kissing in front of the principal and the ensuing burn-out was just his way to flaunt it. He wanted the principal to know he in fact, was dodging school, and that he couldn't do anything about it. skipping school wasn't enough--it was not getting caught that was the thrill.
only someone who lived before the internet, when cassettes were new, can imagine how my friends and I felt when the Star Wars tune suddenly sounded!Where else could we hear it !?
I love that you included the nurse at Ferris’ house in the edit. Most reactions leave it out.
I completely understand how you mistook the city for New York, but as a former Chicagoan there are so many local details they included in this movie, it makes me homesick!
I don't miss the week's of negative 70 though.
@@russellward4624 Hahahaha... no, me neither! I moved south.
She literally said she "misses New York", yet she can't tell the difference. She's cute, but none too sharp
Got to admit I died a little when you completely ignored the whole Cameron staring at Seurat's "Sunday on La Grande Jatte" at the Art Institute. For me, that is the entire heart of his character in a single shot, and I have to admit I spent an extra long time looking at that work myself when I visited CHICAGO. (TBF I'd probably be just as $#!+ on Australian landmarks and cities)
Very few people realize how huge that painting is…or that it was created with dots instead of brush strokes. The Broadway musical “Sunday in the Park with George” is based on the painting, and it’s one of my favorite musicals of all time.
@@RabidTribble One of the most visceral reactions I've had from a painting was seeing "Hallucinogenic Toreador" at the Salvadore Dali museum in St Petersburg, FL. It's so huge (about 13ft x 10ft) and detailed, it completely overwhelms you.
This place is high on my list of not very well-known museums you should visit.
My favorite line in the whole movie is when Cameron says "call me sir God d*mn it!" to Rooney.
Although it sometimes seems that way, not every American movie takes place in NY. This is Chicago
I was a perfect age for this when it came out, a teenager. Everyone was talking about it by the next day and by the end of the week I knew every part of it just from everyone talking about it, without ever having seen it yet. But a sign of how iconic it was, even knowing it all, it was still great when I finally saw it.
I was 16 when this movie came out. It played at one our local movie theaters in Southern California for almost a full year. I can't tell you how many times I saw it but by the end of the year, I could practically recite the movie verbatim as well as everyone else in my high school. It was a sensation amongst teenagers. We all wanted to be Ferris and we all loved the principal Ed Rooney. It was a different time with an entirely different set of rules. I honestly think that Ferris Bueller and The Breakfast Club were John Hughes' masterpieces. John Hughes created a narrative for how teenagers acted in the 80's. The Breakfast Club is a greater testament to this and I highly recommend it.
On a different note, another movie from 1987 called The Princess Bride should be on your list as well.
And yes, set in Chicago. All of the sites they hit have become “must do” tourist attractions. I’ve been to several. Watch Mathew Broderick in War Games. Watch the sister Jennifer Grey in Dirty Dancing! Charlie Sheen is best in Major League. I was in my mid 20s but could still relate. Plus I had just visited Chicago and been to several of those places!
Major League??? I'll take Platoon or Cadence long before his performance in Major League.
I’d have chosen either of the Hot Shots for Charlie Sheen movies.
Jennifer and Charlie were also previously in Red Dawn.
Ferris did everything to save his friend from his own life.
The city is Chicago, not New York.
Most of John Hughes (director of Ferris Bueller) take place in Chicago.
Saw this in the theater with my younger brother. We walked to another theater and watched “Back to School” immediately after.
The post credit scene in Deadpool was a reference to the post credit scene in this movie
So, you got to see Edie McClurg in two classic roles. Grace and Marge Sweetwater.
@@matthewgrady3423 Twist and Shout was sung in both movies by the main characters too
1st semester of 7th grade, 3rd period study hall was spent learning to make the water drip sound. Life skillz.
watch "The Breakfast Club" (1985)
I’ve seen this movie a hundred times but I’ve always seen this as Ferris just skipping school never noticed that he planned this as a last Adventure with his best friend and girlfriend before that all moved on. Was a good catch
My headcanon is that Election is the sequel to this movie- Ferris's wasterel years finally catch up with him and we witness his burnout middle age.
"This kind of gives me HOME ALONE vibes..."
Fun fact: John Hughes actually wrote the screenplay for HOME ALONE.
Sucks he didn’t direct it… Chris Columbus did
New drinking game. Every time she says New York, “How dare you!”
Every time I was sick from school this was the movie I’d watch. Love this movie
this movie screams 80s. Love it, we had so many great teen flicks then. Im sure others have said but this was Chicago, not New York. The director, John Hughs, set most if not all of his movies that decade in Chicago. Not sure if you noticed but even on the giant electronic board outside of Wrigley Field they had put up "Save Ferris". You can still find t-shirts that say that as well.
There is a reason it is a classic teen and 80s movie.
There's a fan theory that Ferris is Cameron's imaginary friend, and the whole film is in Cameron's head. It really doesn't quite work, but it's a fun lens to look at the movie through.
It doesn't work at all. So all of the family stuff is also in Cameron's head? Ferris's sister getting arrested and making out with Charlie Sheen: in his head? Him walking around Chicago and talking about Ferris with Sloan... in his head? Don't get it.
@@CharlieSoze You know when writer writes fiction stories it is all in their head right? When people hallucinate it is real to them. Have you ever dreamed ?
Why couldn't Cameron had thought of a sister for Ferris? Maybe in his hallucination he thought of Ferris and wanted him to have a sister. Why? it does not matter what does matter is he can.
@@claytoncourtney1309 There are too many subplots that are too detailed. He's also imagining the principal's arc? Does anything in the movie happen? Does he imagine the car?
GREAT movie. I first saw this within the first month it was released. It was in Lincoln, Nebraska, and I went with a big group of friends, maybe twelve altogether in our group. We had a blast watching this movie. The most memorable part to me was the parade scene; during the performance of "Twist and Shout", we were literally dancing in the aisles 😁
I saw it in Norfolk!
34:58 Fun Fact: Jeanie was the inspiration for Candace from Phineas and Ferb and that’s why she name dropped the term “BUSTED”
Mathew Broderick was also in a movie called " GLORY " and also in another movie with Marlon Brando called " The Freshman ".
I've always liked this movie for one thing, the last thing Ferris said in his bed. About not taking life for granted.
In our day to day struggle, paying bills, stressing out, letting other people's successes upset us instead of seeking our own happiness...
We can't all be the Charming Rogue the Ferris is, but we can occasionally take the time to unwind, spend time with those we care about, and even stop to smell the 🌹
Overall words that most people hear but ignore to their own detriment.
Movie takes place in Chicago
This is my generation’s movie - amd my generation was awesome. By the way, this movie inspired deadpool’s habit of breaking the fourth wall, which is why there’s a minor homage to it in Deadpool.
The hand waving was how stock exchanges worked before computers. Because of the noise a form of sign language was used to make offers and bids.
I was 18 or 19 when I saw this movie in the cinema.
Ps personally, I think Ferris Buller has the perfect character to be a successful internet influencer, although we didn’t have internet or mobile phones back then, and the most advanced computers ran on 64k of ram and had no memory at all - you had to run everything from a floppy disc. It was a much more innocent age and one where person to person interactions were very different.
I think all generations can relate to this movie but your correct in this movie was a staple for those of us born in the early 70s's late 60's, As a teenager I loved this move and Fast Times.
@@richardwilliams6256 I often wonder what todays kids would make of The Young Ones - Rik Mayell’s version!
Can we get a source on "this movie inspired deadpool’s habit of breaking the fourth wall" ?
@@claytoncourtney1309
there's no source because it's not true. this movie only inspired the _deadpool_ end credit scene. it has nothing to do with deadpool breaking the fourth wall in the comics.
Mary: (on Charlie Sheen being at the police station for drugs) That didn't age well
Me: If anything, that aged even better than intended...
The actress who plays the sister was in Dirty Dancing. A 1961 Ferrari California Spider sold for $18,500,000 in 2015. In the post-credits scene for the first Deadpool where they have an easter egg about Ferris Bueller's Day Off post-credit Scene.
For the rest of your life, you'll never refer to him as Matthew Broderick again. He's Ferris Bueller now 😆
There was once a VH1 or MTV "Pop-Up Video" version of this with a ton of facts that popped up as the film played.
I've seen this movie somewhere around 100 times.
29:02 "It's funny because he's in there for drugs. That didn't age well."
Charlie Sheen actually made a joke about this on The Roast of Charlie Sheen. He said, "when I did Ferris Bueller my first line was 'Drugs?' I thought they were asking how I wanted to be paid."
5:32 They had the clarinet on set and they asked him if he could play it. He said yes.
If you enjoyed Matthew Broderick and want another fun comedy, there's no better musical-movie than The Producers. Although the original might be better, the remake is wonderful.

Thanks for doing this 80's classic, John Hughes had his finger on the pulse of what 80's kids wanted to see. It had an impact on me during the 80's, I think of this movie sometimes when characters break the 4th wall. I liked how Deadpool imitated the end scene, even the set was copied well with a similar hallway and wallpaper, well done.
This is an extra fun film if you’re from Chicago!
You need to watch SCOTT PILGRIM VS THE WORLD
It's also a timeless classic
Dude it came out 12 years ago so it’s not a classic
She should check out Edgar Wright movies
@@the_varunrvel Right?
Edgar Wright also made Shaun of The Dead and Ant-Man
@@theryanreynoldsfan3674 He also did Hot Fuzz, The World's End, Baby Driver, and Last Night in Soho
I was a preteen when I saw this and no matter how many times I see it it makes me happy and every joke lands. The entire cast was top notch.
That Ferrari starts at around $1,000,000.00 USD, and can climb up to $15,000,000. You can see why Cameron's dad might be a tad irked.
My aunt showed this to me when I was really young, and I remember laughing SO much. Definitely one of my favorite films.
For me, this movie is an 80s landmark along with ET, Karate Kid and Return of Jedi. They were my favorite movies when I was a kid
