Ferris Bueller was filmed at my high school, while school was in session. It was one of the most exciting moments in my life when John Hughes and Matthew Broderick came to check out our drama class rehearsing for a play. I'll never forget how kind and generous with their time they were.
I still remember being the only kid left in the theatre at the end if the credits in the aisle when Ferris tells me why are you still here. I tried to calling my brother to come back in the theatre but he missed. My greatest movie theater memory of all time. From that day on I always stay till the end and the lights come on. It didn't payoff much in the 90s but since Marvel success the Bueller tradition has paid out.
Haha! Me too, because you never know if they're gonna throw in an easter egg at the end! Is it an easter egg if it's the end of a movie? I know there's a name for that but I don't know what it is. A button? A Coda?
The way Matthew Broderick looks at everyone so lovingly is so wholesome. I hope they know how much happiness they've brought to so many with this work.
@@stardustgirl2904 Who cares? What does that have to do with this movie, this video or with Michell's comment? Why does politics have to be the driving force behind everything? Hint: it doesn't
The 80's is by far my favorite decade. The music, Saturday morning cartoons, the movies( a lot of which is thanks to John Hughes). Kids in this generation just don't know what they are missing.
I think it's almost magical though how we have access to the highlights of that generation at our fingertips (in the entertainment aspect that is haha) This is definitely one of my all-time favorite movies.
On behalf of ALL generations, from future school•skippers, to the very first Ever school•skippers in the history of school•skipping... - Thank you! :) 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off' is our eternal anthem! :D
No No he was in my opinion a top 3 director of his generation. It’s a shame he had to pass too. I wasn’t born the time any of these movies came out but I’ve become a huge fan of them and I still miss him somehow, guess he just has that affect of people 👍
_"[John] treated kids with respect, he treated 'em like complete human beings. Nowadays so many teen movies, they're objects of derision or it's all sex jokes or whatever, but he treated kids like they have problems, they have worries, and he honored all of that."_ When you watch these movies as a teenager, this is exactly the tone they radiate. You feel like you matter, that your problems still matter even if you're not an adult. As Grey said, it felt like John Hughes was validating your point-of-view and experience as a teenager. We need more movies like that in today's world. *RIP John Hughes*
Hughes was the man. His movies were the best. When Matthew said they described him as the Spielberg of teen movies, they weren't lying. They never get old and bring back so many memories and nostalgia. Same as 80's Spielberg.
This! As much as I loved the reunion part, this final montage of Hughes movie scenes and the actors reiterating their lines many years later is the best.
"Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it". That line will always be my favorite from the movie. Love John Hughes classic films.
Whether this is the last one ever, or only for the summer, that was a fantastic way to end this run. The people on show who were willing to do their bit speaks volumes.
I’ve got to say, I clicked on this video but didn’t plan on watching the whole thing. Figured I’d scrub through it and catch the highlights. Man, was I wrong. I watched this whole thing and couldn’t stop smiling the whole time. Seeing the cast was amazing but hearing them laugh together was even better. Loved that Ben Stein was so authentic in his passion for being a part of the movie. Loved the John Hughes tribute at the end. Just wanted to say thank you for doing this and well done Josh. Made my day.
The end tribute and all the bonus cameos of John Hughes characters repeating their lines, getting to see those actors in June 2020, was awesome, touching, and really moving! There's nobody like John Hughes. Such a hole left behind with his passing, but such a treasure left behind for us all to marvel at and be amazed by.
Yeah, as a Gen X during those times, I know his movies definitely had an effect on who I am as a person. Movies today just don't have an affect at all.
Absolutely. I'm interested in understanding what was shot and cut. I have the novelization of the movie and there are some different scenes..like Ferris being interviewed by the announcers at the Cubs game in the press booth.
My daughter and I watch this movie so much when it plays on TV and for the first time in my life and I am almost mid 40s I caught a version with some scenes I have never seen. Not in the original movie not in the one that they play on usual TV shows or cable networks. Even my daughter noticed we were like what the heck we’ve never seen these things before so apparently there’s a couple versions it seems or that channel happened to play part of the extra minutes I don’t know it was weird
Looks like Criterion is going to be doing a Blu-Ray release of this movie at some point... wonder if they'll be able to include outtakes / deleted stuff like they were able to do on their 'Breakfast Club' release.
I'm sure there will be more. The series has been incredibly popular and has raised a ton of money for good causes. We have to keep in mind that these are all filmed 3-4 weeks before they are released so this was likely done at the end of May. That said, summer is here now and even though we are still in a pandemic, people are still wanting to enjoy their summer and relax so it might just be hard to get groups together for the next few months. Perhaps we'll get another run this fall or winter.
My dry as old toast high school chemistry teacher said the Ben Stein economics scene is the most accurate portrayal of high school teaching he’s ever seen in a movie.
As a child of the 80s, I don't know a single person my age who doesn't cherish this movie as well as all of John Hughes' movies. As a lover of art, those scenes in the Art Institute stick with me, particularly of the close-up of Cameron looking at the Seurat painiting and how the camera goes further and further in to see the detail of the dots. Brillant! Sloan's line at the end by the pool that 'sooner or later we all go to the zoo". Truth! I think about it all the time! Thank you Josh Gad for this walk down memory lane and all those behind the scenes facts that just make me love this movie even more. I'm sorry this is the last one!! These videoes have been a spot of joy in a very dark time!
I loved this film and when I became a teacher years later I found myself asking the class "Anyone, anyone?"...and then laughed so hard. The kids thought I was weird. Most years I still show them this film as a reward at the end of the year.
John Hughes was honest and not politically correct. He became famous because he had great talent, not because he met some quota or kissed Hollywood's shiny butt. So no, he wouldn't fit in the world we have now anymore. Sadly.
Awww the John Hughes tribute with the guest stars made my teenage years all come flooding back in an instant ❤, I just wish there were movies out in the future that my kids could embrace as much as I did all those years ago.. these films formed my friendships and my life xx
Indeed. I watched my youth unfold before my eyes, courtesy of the late John Hughes. Thank you Josh Gad for all of the episodes, and especially for the tribute in this one. Also, I literally applauded during the last 10 seconds. 😎
i agree. Ben Stein framed it perfectly that John Hughes had the ability to package a picture so beautifully. None of the films of today do quite the same.
“Don’t You”(Forget About Me) was played at my sister’s funeral 07/08/2019. We loved all of the John Hughes movies. Those movies were intertwined with some of our happiest times in life. Cherished times, that will live in the hearts of all Gen-X’ers and many more generations that follow. Fly free, baby sis. Fly free, John Hughes. 🕊🕊😇😇🌹🌹🕯🕯
I am so sorry for your loss. You're comment made me cry. I lost my best friend who was like a brother to me (much closer to me than my real brother) last year and I know how difficult it is. I wish you all the best.
Favorite Reunited Apart ever. The John Hughes tribute at the end with all the cameos was masterfully done. And the Ben Stein / Kristy Swanson bit was perfect. Thankyou!
@@DavidRay_40 geez buddy, at this point don't you think it's time you stop blaming the other side for everything that's wrong with your country and start working together to make it better. the rest of the world is tired of your whining
In floods of tears. I am 48 and thanks for taking me back to being a teenager. The best episode so far. Seeing everyone paying tribute to John at the end was amazing. ❤️
Though I've loved all John Hughes's movies, "Ferris Bueller's Day Off," for me, shall remain THE iconic teenage movie of all time. And this reunion was simply EXCELLENT. Thank you so much for this. (Whatever happened to "Edward Rooney," the principal? Too bad he wasn't in the Zoom.) John Hughes, R.I.P. You ARE a Genius.
I remember sitting in Film School in 1985 arguing with a bunch of my fellow students on why we should be studying John Hughes alongside Orson Welles and Alfred Hitchcock. Apparently, these budding film makers didn't think there was much humanity in teenagers. Thank God, John Hughes did. All these years later, the movies and their legions of fans speak for themselves. Thanks for getting the team together again.
I want to cry reading your comment, but not because I just graduated high school, but because my precious high school life will be wasted by this quarantine (I'm the third year)
Confession: parts of this made me feel pretty emotional and I choked back a few tears. Per the end, these are all the movies I grew up with and they mean a lot to me. It was so great to see everyone again...and admittedly, a bit scary seeing them all getting older...but alas, it’s better than the alternative. Great cameos at the end and I think it’s great they showed John Candy quite a few times. Still miss that guy! Btw, now our 15 son loves FBDO too, in fact, he reminds me a lot of Ferris...coincidence?
I showed my all of them, the greatest movies of all time, while you watched, you felt as you were there , the chemistry was so on point, so realistic, my daughter loves them too. Thank you for these
Literally got chills ALL OVER when Kenny talks about the parade scene being played at Dodger Stadium and 56,000 people got up and cheered. Wow. Great movie!
John Hughes really never got the credit he deserved. I thought the tribute was very touching. When you think about this man's screenwriting in particular it's remarkable. We're talking about one of the very best at his craft in the history of cinema. You're damn right he should be given the respect that a Spielberg, Scorsese, and a Tarantino does. He is sorely, sorely, missed and thank you Josh for this wonderful reunion and tribute.
The Goonies and Ferris Bueller's Day Off are two of my favorite films of all time. These films make me young again each time that I have the opportunity to watch them. Thank you Josh for allowing me to be a kid again in this amazing series!
I actually cried a river with the end of this video, I am 40 year's old and John's movies where there during my childhood and teen years! I actually own all of them on DVD! Thank you very much for this video! 🙋🏾♀️Greetings from South Africa!
Killer ending! Was almost in tears thinking of my childhood and how John's movies are so deeply embedded in my being. Awseome editing job. And it was really nice to see Chevy having fun delivering his classic speech. That man has gotten too much hate over the years. Love you dude!
Same for me. I wasn't expecting that ending and it brought up all my childhood and teenage memories all at once. You were not the only one in tears... :)
Helped DEFINE the 80s. Like Back to the Future, Goonies, and many more. Iconic. It was a Golden Age in entertainment...across the board - music, TV, movies.
War Games, Better Off Dead, Indiana Jones, so many great movies in the 80's. We need to go back to a time where movie creators are doing LSD and cocaine instead of movies lacking any substance that are injected with social justice and left-wing ideology.
@@rhelferstay Absolutely. Maximum Overdrive was a perfect example. Sheer entertainment directed by a guy - writer Stephen King - admittedly on a cocaine binge the whole time.
"Oh, he's very popular, Ed. The sportos, the motorheads, geeks, bloods, wastoids, dweebs, dickheads; they all adore him. They think he's a righteous dude!" That was the day I fell in love with Matthew!.
In some storage unit on a reel probably never to be seen.. until one day someone discovers it and goes, hey this is fantastic let’s release a directors cut...
Oh Josh Gad, I will remember 2020 Covid lockdown for the best movie reunions of all time. You have put a smile on my face again and again and again. Thank you!!
Yeh tell me about it. I just went and looked up his filmography, literally all the greats from the period are credited to him. National Lampoons and Home Alone have got to be my personal greats
Today, I've just learnt that a large part of my childhood was entertained by the works of John Hughes, @Josh Gad I cannot thank you enough for the work you've been doing to create Reunited Apart and sharing this with us. I hope for many years to come people will also get to see and share this with others as you have with us.
What a great reunion! The movie has withstood the test of time, and is relentlessly hysterical. "The question isn't what are we gonna do today, it's what AREN'T we gonna do today..."
I kept looking at the clock behind Matt to see how long they actually filmed this. Spoiler alert, it was a couple of hours. (and they filmed the very very last part of this video, first)
“My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with a girl who saw Ferris pass-out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious...no problem whatsoever” ICONIC.
Josh Gad thank you so much for bringing back my childhood heroes, back to the future and Ferris buellers day off were my favorite movies in the 1980s they will always be in my heart . thanks for this series this is the best
My entire childhood I was convinced that my dad was the construction worker in the hard hat and white tee that does the best dance ever in the parade scene!!!! Me and my siblings, along with my mom would yell "THERE'S DAD!!" Then with out any control over our reactions, would jump up out of our seats or up off the floor and dance! Thank you all :)
It’s interesting to hear him say he rented Sixteen Candles and The Breakfast Club in preparation for making FBDO. Looking back, it’s as though they all came out on the same day in Nineteen Eighty Forever.
He rented them to see his filming techniques and actors, acting. What he's looking for. Only odd here going on is that he never heard of the guy nor saw the movies before
I hope it's not the end. It's such a good show. I would like to see one on Jurassic park or Terminator 2. Sandlot. A League of Their Own. Keep going Josh. Everyone loves you
I was a little girl reading the Sun-Times one day and saw a tiny little article about how some movie was going to be filming a parade scene downtown and they needed thousands of extras. I distinctly remember shrugging it off and turning the page. Still one of the greatest regrets of my life!
I remember my dad taking me to see this movie when it first came out. We were originally gonna see Back to the Future again because it was re-released in theaters for a limited time, but that sold out, so we saw this Ferris Bueller movie (that we'd never even heard of before) instead. I couldn't stop raving about it afterwards when I got home. I begged my dad to take me to see it again the next night, but ended up having to wait to see it again on home video.
John Hughes was a genius and his movies mixed humour with heart and a positivity. In 2024 the world needs this message more than ever. That montage at the end is an amazing compilation, capped off w/- that iconic song. 1st class; thank you to everyone involved 🙏🏼
The 80s were the best time of my life and I would go back in a heartbeat if I could. The Pretty in Pink part made me cry. It's my favourite movie. Please don't let this be the last. Do Pretty in Pink. Many of my colleagues would be so thrilled to see it. These shows help us with the stress.
Ditto. I mean I realized Hughes made so many movies, but I never realized there were so many seminal movies in my youth that were him. I loved Ferris & Breakfast Club growing up, but it wasn't until I watched this that I realized Xmas Vacation was him. And the stuff with John Candy? Mind blown.
Ferris Bueller was filmed at my high school, while school was in session. It was one of the most exciting moments in my life when John Hughes and Matthew Broderick came to check out our drama class rehearsing for a play. I'll never forget how kind and generous with their time they were.
JG Mussman said it was filmed in his town !! Small world ! Just 2 comments under yours !!
that’s awesome!
Did you interact?
That's so cool!😎👍
Cool
I still remember being the only kid left in the theatre at the end if the credits in the aisle when Ferris tells me why are you still here. I tried to calling my brother to come back in the theatre but he missed. My greatest movie theater memory of all time. From that day on I always stay till the end and the lights come on. It didn't payoff much in the 90s but since Marvel success the Bueller tradition has paid out.
Haha! Me too, because you never know if they're gonna throw in an easter egg at the end! Is it an easter egg if it's the end of a movie? I know there's a name for that but I don't know what it is. A button? A Coda?
When I saw Deadpool and stayed until the end, somehow I knew (or hoped) they were gonna parody this. And they did. Ha ha.
This was the first one that really delivered the zinger out the end.
the original post-credit scene... sue Marvel!!!!
Awesome!
The way Matthew Broderick looks at everyone so lovingly is so wholesome.
I hope they know how much happiness they've brought to so many with this work.
Hes a total liberal

I couldn't stand the host. This needs a real reunion similar to FreshPrince.
Kudos to Alan giving my brother props for, "Hey, batter, batter..."
Is he still around?
Did he know Alan got that from him when he saw the movie when it came out..?
I'm not crying you're crying, what I would give for a giant reunited apart reunion of every John Hughes movie ever made, he was simply magic

LittleHobbit13 true.
Exactly, cinema nowadays is really lacking in this kind of movies
There were mindless, stupid teen movies back then too. I agree we are lacking in quality, fun movies like FBDO tho.
Wicked Scott what was mindless
Hughes was the man. His movies were the best. When Matthew said they described him as the Spielberg of teen movies, they weren't lying. They never get old and bring back so many memories and nostalgia. Same as 80's Spielberg.
Oh man. That montage at the end with all the actors and actresses reprising lines from John Hughes movies really got me in the feels. 🥺
Illustraful dude I’m not gonna say I cried when I saw John Candy and all of my childhood.......im not
Me too!! 🥺🥺❤❤
Michael Keaton repeating his Mr. Mom quote actually made me tear up.
This! As much as I loved the reunion part, this final montage of Hughes movie scenes and the actors reiterating their lines many years later is the best.
That was an incredibly special moment for both my wife and I who are huge Hughes fans.
Matthew was perfectly cast, but Alan made the movie perfect.
Mia Sara was only 17 when it was filmed

What’s even crazier is that it took them forever to let Alan have the part! Matthew had to convince them
@@Sarahjanam Islam is the truth
@@johnnydeclanbarnes116 what's Islam? A religion? That would make it a fiction. All religions are fictional. Jesus is as real as Superman.
Alan Ruck was the movie's secret weapon- he was effortlessly funny and whimsical.
My favorite part is his delayed reaction after staring at the crashed car.
Jeffery Jones was pretty great as well
I like when Ruck's character kept saying like "I won't, I won't, I won't".... he will keep calling me and calling me....
I think of the “Hey batta batta, Suwing, batta” every time I watch baseball to this day! Also from Twister, “Rabbit is good, Rabbit is wise”
It's a classic overall. Everything just works!
"Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it". That line will always be my favorite from the movie. Love John Hughes classic films.
Do you think that "line" originated from his writing? It didn't.
Yeeeessssss! It's one of my favorite quotes from a book, movie, or song. period. It has always resonated with me and I think about it almost everyday.
words Matthew should have lived by before that accident.
Joe Kinchicken you got a link for that information?
@PaPa-D great logic lol
I loved the reunion, but that John Hughes tribute at the end was my favorite part of this reunion.
Whether this is the last one ever, or only for the summer, that was a fantastic way to end this run. The people on show who were willing to do their bit speaks volumes.
Yeah, definitely wasn't expecting Chevy Chase, among others. But man, it makes me sad to see how much everyone has aged. I'm not that far behind...
Mia is so beautiful, so happy she participated.
I know. I only wish she'd been included more in the recreations. I never knew the word "catatonic" could be delivered so sexily.
If you didn't have a huge smile on your face throughout this whole piece, you're a monster. Thanks a million, Josh, and all the cast members.
I can breathe a sigh of relief. For once I actually passed the, "If you didn't do this, then you're a monster" test...
Lol that’s funny! I totally caught myself doing that! 😂
I was actually sad throughout because I knew this was the end. Now there's nothing to look forward to.
@@lonelyone Look forward for other things that bring you happiness!!!! I know I will.

John Hughes was honest and not politically correct. He became famous because he had great talent, not because he met some quota or kissed Hollywood's shiny butt. So no, he wouldn't fit in the world we have now anymore. Sadly.

i agree. Ben Stein framed it perfectly that John Hughes had the ability to package a picture so beautifully. None of the films of today do quite the same.
It was amazing to see Steve Martin, Chevy Chase, and Michael Keaton participate in this!
Josh Gad should be given an Academy Award for services to Nostalgia. Thank you 🙏
Josh gad the biggest Stan of Ferris bueller
“Don’t You”(Forget About Me) was played at my sister’s funeral 07/08/2019. We loved all of the John Hughes movies. Those movies were intertwined with some of our happiest times in life. Cherished times, that will live in the hearts of all Gen-X’ers and many more generations that follow. Fly free, baby sis. Fly free, John Hughes. 🕊🕊😇😇🌹🌹🕯🕯
I’m sorry for your loss.
Kinsella Finn Thank you so much and it’s really a difficult week. 💔😔
I am so sorry for your loss. You're comment made me cry. I lost my best friend who was like a brother to me (much closer to me than my real brother) last year and I know how difficult it is. I wish you all the best.
💔💔😢😢😢💔💔😢😢😢 I'm so sorry
valerieann78 I thank you. I need all the compassion I can get to make it through today. I really appreciate the kindness. ☮️💟
Ok... Crushing on Mia Sara and Jennifer Grey all over again!!! What great chemistry this cast had! Then finding out this was Ben Stein’s first movie!
Favorite Reunited
Apart ever. The John Hughes tribute at the end with all the cameos was masterfully done. And the Ben Stein / Kristy Swanson bit was perfect. Thankyou!
Really hope this is just the last episode for the FIRST SEASON 😭 we need more Reunited Apart, Josh!
Dont Worry Coronavirus is getting worse in america thanks to trump we will be in another lockdown in a few weeks.
I hope it gets better for you guys
@@steviegbcool you mean the Democrats are making it worse. Every city where it's worse is controlled by Democrats.
@@DavidRay_40 geez buddy, at this point don't you think it's time you stop blaming the other side for everything that's wrong with your country and start working together to make it better. the rest of the world is tired of your whining
Thanks josh for getting the oldies their teenage years back more please👏👏🇬🇧
In floods of tears. I am 48 and thanks for taking me back to being a teenager. The best episode so far.
Seeing everyone paying tribute to John at the end was amazing. ❤️
I am 51 and feel the same way
@@sonicthehedgehog2297 51 as well, and agreed.
I'm 44 and that ending really got me in the feels.
Though I've loved all John Hughes's movies, "Ferris Bueller's Day Off," for me, shall remain THE iconic teenage movie of all time. And this reunion was simply EXCELLENT. Thank you so much for this. (Whatever happened to "Edward Rooney," the principal? Too bad he wasn't in the Zoom.) John Hughes, R.I.P. You ARE a Genius.
I remember sitting in Film School in 1985 arguing with a bunch of my fellow students on why we should be studying John Hughes alongside Orson Welles and Alfred Hitchcock. Apparently, these budding film makers didn't think there was much humanity in teenagers. Thank God, John Hughes did. All these years later, the movies and their legions of fans speak for themselves. Thanks for getting the team together again.
I went to CALARTS in 1990's and they wre offended I liked Beavis and Butthead
Ben Stein is ADORABLE!!!! What a sweet, beautiful, humble soul!
Not really, ultra conservative, anti evolution fool
@@philippeh3904 how *DARE* he think differently than the rest of us? That must make him a terrible person. What an undesirable.
I just graduated high school and “life moves pretty fast; if you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it”, hits different
indeed it does, I first saw this movie when they played it in my high school auditorium in chicago
@Norwindianabsolutely the.best message to hear at a young age, graduated 92' and remember that one the most......
Have you seen Ferris? Do you like it? I was your age when it first came out and I thought it was terrific.
JeffRebornNow I really enjoy the film and it is actually one of my favorites
I want to cry reading your comment, but not because I just graduated high school, but because my precious high school life will be wasted by this quarantine (I'm the third year)
The tribute to John was amazing. I actually shed some tears. Well done
Confession: parts of this made me feel pretty emotional and I choked back a few tears. Per the end, these are all the movies I grew up with and they mean a lot to me. It was so great to see everyone again...and admittedly, a bit scary seeing them all getting older...but alas, it’s better than the alternative. Great cameos at the end and I think it’s great they showed John Candy quite a few times. Still miss that guy! Btw, now our 15 son loves FBDO too, in fact, he reminds me a lot of Ferris...coincidence?
I showed my all of them, the greatest movies of all time, while you watched, you felt as you were there , the chemistry was so on point, so realistic, my daughter loves them too. Thank you for these
Literally got chills ALL OVER when Kenny talks about the parade scene being played at Dodger Stadium and 56,000 people got up and cheered. Wow. Great movie!
The tribute to John Hughes at the end was better than the one the Oscars put on.
Of course it was. Reunited Apart doesn't have Censors and Investors to answer to. ;)
John Hughes really never got the credit he deserved. I thought the tribute was very touching. When you think about this man's screenwriting in particular it's remarkable. We're talking about one of the very best at his craft in the history of cinema. You're damn right he should be given the respect that a Spielberg, Scorsese, and a Tarantino does. He is sorely, sorely, missed and thank you Josh for this wonderful reunion and tribute.
The Goonies and Ferris Bueller's Day Off are two of my favorite films of all time. These films make me young again each time that I have the opportunity to watch them. Thank you Josh for allowing me to be a kid again in this amazing series!
Does Josh Gad realize how effing happy he made 71000+ gen Xers today?
Oh. My. God.
"Batter batter batter batter batter schaawiiing!"
Not just gen x. I was born in 02 and I love Ferris and BTTF and many more 80s movies.
I’m just happy I’m not a millennial this is just icing on the cake!
Born 84 seen all of those movies! Vacation is in my top 10 films of all time! RIP John and Harold!
Nabil is that because a gen X’er showed you such greatness? It was a rite of passage for my son born in ‘98. He didn’t have a choice 😂😂
@@teddysurf And I'm happy I'm not Gen X, because then I would be old.
TBH, Alan Ruck's finest moments was him playing Sloane's dad on the phone with Principal Rooney. I would have loved to see more of that...
me too!
"You better mind your p's and q's!"
LOL!!! Yes! :)
True that, though in fairness the only thing that would make everyone happy would be to reenact the whole movie, it's chock full of great scenes.
I actually cried a river with the end of this video, I am 40 year's old and John's movies where there during my childhood and teen years! I actually own all of them on DVD! Thank you very much for this video! 🙋🏾♀️Greetings from South Africa!
Killer ending! Was almost in tears thinking of my childhood and how John's movies are so deeply embedded in my being. Awseome editing job. And it was really nice to see Chevy having fun delivering his classic speech. That man has gotten too much hate over the years. Love you dude!
Would’ve been great to have Macaulay Culkin say something like “don’t flash these babies around here,there could be girls on this floor!”
Same for me. I wasn't expecting that ending and it brought up all my childhood and teenage memories all at once. You were not the only one in tears... :)
Agree on the Chevy Chase totally
Helped DEFINE the 80s. Like Back to the Future, Goonies, and many more. Iconic. It was a Golden Age in entertainment...across the board - music, TV, movies.
Star Wars
War Games, Better Off Dead, Indiana Jones, so many great movies in the 80's. We need to go back to a time where movie creators are doing LSD and cocaine instead of movies lacking any substance that are injected with social justice and left-wing ideology.
@@rhelferstay Absolutely. Maximum Overdrive was a perfect example. Sheer entertainment directed by a guy - writer Stephen King - admittedly on a cocaine binge the whole time.
I feel like the 80’s was the best time for teen movies.
@@rhelferstay Yes WarGames! Matthew was so cute in that movie 😍
"Oh, he's very popular, Ed. The sportos, the motorheads, geeks, bloods, wastoids, dweebs, dickheads; they all adore him. They think he's a righteous dude!" That was the day I fell in love with Matthew!.
With your bad knee Ed, you shouldn't be throwing anyone.
It’s true.
Oh god, me too!
She’s hilarious!
Edie McClurg
Message received John. RIP. My life wouldn't be the same without these movies and people.
I’m a millennial (27 years old) and I love Ferris Bueller’s day off! Seeing them all reunited again is awesome 😍
Jennifer Grey looks incredible! She's glowing!
Well…plastic surgery. I liked her original face. ☹️
First cut of the movie: TWO HOURS AND FORTY-FIVE MINUTES!! Where is all the cut footage?! Good God, I need to see that footage!!!
Always wanted an extended version
Yes I would like to see that too
In some storage unit on a reel probably never to be seen.. until one day someone discovers it and goes, hey this is fantastic let’s release a directors cut...
Agreed!
#same
Oh Josh Gad, I will remember 2020 Covid lockdown for the best movie reunions of all time. You have put a smile on my face again and again and again. Thank you!!
I'm an Australian and I still do the "Swing Batter" thing at every bat and ball game I see including Cricket... xoxo
That John Hughes montage was just wonderful.
I would so watch the 2 hr and 45 min version of ferris bueller.
I'd watch with you.
That would be bongepic
We watched it the first month of quarantine
Mickee Mickee same here!!
Same
Ending brought a tear to my eye. I embrace John Hughes movies so much. This was wonderful!
Thank you, Josh
When my son was a little boy he was convinced he was Ferris Bueller we danced to Twist and Shout for the Mother-Son dance at his wedding!
That’s very sweet!
I've just realised why I thought the 80s were so great. It was John Hughes all along.
Yeh tell me about it. I just went and looked up his filmography, literally all the greats from the period are credited to him. National Lampoons and Home Alone have got to be my personal greats
the music in the john huges movies was a star too
We were young. The main reason why the 80s were so great. John Hughes comes in as a close second.
I met Alan Ruck once back in the early 90's. He is a very nice guy.
Today, I've just learnt that a large part of my childhood was entertained by the works of John Hughes, @Josh Gad I cannot thank you enough for the work you've been doing to create Reunited Apart and sharing this with us. I hope for many years to come people will also get to see and share this with others as you have with us.
If you're a Gen Xer, for sure.
Man, now I want a Breakfast Club reunion on Reunited Apart.
It wouldnt be complete. Emilio is always the holdout.
I have to say, my Dad is a nurse, he is always stressed, but when he watches your reunited apart series he is so happy. Thank You a lot
So excited, Can't wait to see this. I've been hoping this would happen. you're doing a great job Josh, keep up the good work ☺👍
@@erinbrower3103 weird you would make a comment directed at the content creator as a reply to a random comment.
@@snavisTM Weird that you would comment on it
I have seen the movies so many times and I never knew or even noticed the license plate thing. Such a cool easter egg.
And I never knew two kids were cut out of the family.
What a great reunion! The movie has withstood the test of time, and is relentlessly hysterical. "The question isn't what are we gonna do today, it's what AREN'T we gonna do today..."
The tributes to John Hughes at the end was so touching!
This makes up for 2020 so far... glorious. Jennifer Gray curling her lip as she says "If you say Ferris Bueller, you lose a testicle"
It would have been awesome if they got Charlie Sheen to do that scene with her.
(Singing) When Cameron was in Egypt land, let my Cameron gooo.
I was waiting for that line
YES THAT was a good one! Cameron was so great!
When I visited the location of his family's house outside of Chicago, I had my sister film me singing that.
I kept looking at the clock behind Matt to see how long they actually filmed this.
Spoiler alert, it was a couple of hours. (and they filmed the very very last part of this video, first)
He hurt his knee while running home.
This was great... Brought back a lot of memories... The 80’s was the Best time to grow up...
The tribute to John Hughes at the end was beautiful. That guy and all those great actors truly made my childhood happy. Much love to them all 🤘.
“My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with a girl who saw Ferris pass-out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious...no problem whatsoever” ICONIC.
babiedobrik I don’t get this
YES MAN
Thank you Simone
@@elianatorres5905 seems you havent seen the movie a million times like the rest of us
So, you're saying Matthew Broderick passed out while @ 31 Flavors?
Josh Gad thank you so much for bringing back my childhood heroes, back to the future and Ferris buellers day off were my favorite movies in the 1980s they will always be in my heart . thanks for this series this is the best
What a pleasure to see all these faces again. You guys have rocked my childhood and adolescence.
Dude, you need to drop the John Hughes tribute as it's own separate entity so I can watch it over and over again!!
My entire childhood I was convinced that my dad was the construction worker in the hard hat and white tee that does the best dance ever in the parade scene!!!! Me and my siblings, along with my mom would yell "THERE'S DAD!!" Then with out any control over our reactions, would jump up out of our seats or up off the floor and dance! Thank you all :)
Really?? That is sooooo cute!!! 😂👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you John Hughes for understanding and speaking to us Gen X teens. This was just amazing. Love from South Africa❤
It’s interesting to hear him say he rented Sixteen Candles and The Breakfast Club in preparation for making FBDO. Looking back, it’s as though they all came out on the same day in Nineteen Eighty Forever.
Man that phrase nineteen eighty forever speaks volumes to those of us who lived it...
He rented them to see his filming techniques and actors, acting.
What he's looking for.
Only odd here going on is that he never heard of the guy nor saw the movies before
good times, i'm 43, love the 80s :)
That's where my self lives - you summed it up perfectly - nineteen eighty forever.
Michael McDonald 1980 Forever I love that!!!!!!!
I hope it's not the end. It's such a good show. I would like to see one on Jurassic park or Terminator 2. Sandlot. A League of Their Own. Keep going Josh. Everyone loves you
The Mighty Ducks.
Do u think Madonna would actually do it
@@JoefromNJ1 I hope so!!!
Yes the sandlot!!!
OMG! John Hughes was the 80's! They should do Sixteen Candles
Mia is still so gorgeous.
Yeah, I guess she was everyone's crush.
i dare anyone to not fall in love with her after watching Legend then Ferris Bueller. it's impossible.
Benji Sun *Moxie* Legend is an under appreciated gem.
Beat me to it
As long as you stay skinny, you'll be hot. Jennifer Grey looks fantastic too.
Josh, thanks for Reuniting all us 80s Kids. I’ve been binging these with a HUGE perpetual grin on my face! This was a GREAT CONCEPT!
I’ve seen this movie hundreds of times, and it’s probably the greatest teen movie ever made
I was a little girl reading the Sun-Times one day and saw a tiny little article about how some movie was going to be filming a parade scene downtown and they needed thousands of extras. I distinctly remember shrugging it off and turning the page. Still one of the greatest regrets of my life!
😲
I remember my dad taking me to see this movie when it first came out. We were originally gonna see Back to the Future again because it was re-released in theaters for a limited time, but that sold out, so we saw this Ferris Bueller movie (that we'd never even heard of before) instead. I couldn't stop raving about it afterwards when I got home. I begged my dad to take me to see it again the next night, but ended up having to wait to see it again on home video.
That's awesome! BTTF and Ferris Bueller are my favorite movies. I didn't know back to the future was so popular that they re showed it in theaters
Just imagine if BTTF wasn’t sold out. That could’ve caused a drastic change in the timeline.
John Hughes was a genius and his movies mixed humour with heart and a positivity. In 2024 the world needs this message more than ever. That montage at the end is an amazing compilation, capped off w/- that iconic song. 1st class; thank you to everyone involved 🙏🏼
The 80s were the best time of my life and I would go back in a heartbeat if I could. The Pretty in Pink part made me cry. It's my favourite movie. Please don't let this be the last. Do Pretty in Pink. Many of my colleagues would be so thrilled to see it. These shows help us with the stress.
They were my favorite years also. I would build a time machine if I could and take you back with me.
The ending was the absolute best. Like watching the credits at the end of a great movie.
Awesome. That tribute at the end put the biggest, cheesiest grin on my face!
100% this. Smiled the entire video but that tribute...
where is Mr Rooney
I'm not crying, I got a thing in my eye!
Ditto. I mean I realized Hughes made so many movies, but I never realized there were so many seminal movies in my youth that were him. I loved Ferris & Breakfast Club growing up, but it wasn't until I watched this that I realized Xmas Vacation was him. And the stuff with John Candy? Mind blown.
Loved this! Lots of memories! Where was Vlaska the Polka Queen?
Josh, you simply rock! I don't know how you do it but you get these icons together and I am riveted by the stories! Thank you!
OK, altogether now, as loud as possible please: "GRACE!!!!!"
Gobble gobble!
The voice just rang out in my ears
