Ferris' reason for skipping school this day is a cleverly disguised intervention for his friend Cameron who is suicidal.
Yup he even says as such towards the end
This is facts, y'all. A lot of people say Ferris isn't a good person, but he literally saved his friend's life preemptively by taking the day off and also in the swimming pool. At the end of the day, he's just a really crafty, witty, good guy.
Full Disclosure: I went to film school in the early "80's". My first job was as a "production assistant" on this movie. John Hughes had most of the actors improvise alot of dialog. That's probably why some scenes seemed disjointed. Also that parade was real. No extra's. They just got permission from the city of Chicago and shot most of those scenes with a hand held camera using real people in the parade, (including the construction workers, etc..) After, I was one of the people running around chasing down random people sign releases for the movie. One last factoid & I'll shut up.... The reason Ferris's sister looked familiar to you is because that was a young Jennifer Grey, the one from "Dirty Dancing" with Patrick Swayze.
That was a real parade!? Omg so cool! Thanks for sharing!
I can’t imagine this movie with a shortened parade scene! Thats the most iconic sequence of the movie!
She hasn’t watched Dirty Dancing yet. I can’t wait until she gets around to it.
@@AndreaMGC Yep, a 100% real parade.
NOBODY puts Baby in a corner!
You never skipped school, and you're calling HIM a nerd? Roast over.
ASHLEIGH!!!! YOU BREAKIN MY HEART! This is such a fantastic movie! It's about taking the moment to enjoy life. Sing that damn song the whole way through, quietly contemplate the paintings, eat a damn oreo in a hot tub. Just do the things that make you happy. There will always be people trying to tear you down (rooney) but do the things anyways! And I find the movie so funny and feel good. Love it.
"Is it necessary to use the whole song?"
Do you know how expensive it is to get the rights to use a Beatles recording in a movie? If you are paying for the whole song, you use the WHOLE song.
They didn't write Twist and Shout
Twist ad Shout it's not an original Beatles song.
Isley Bros
@@stereo999 While you are correct that The Beatles didn't write the song, people still must get permission from them to use their particular version of it in whatever media they are producing.
@@sexysadie2901 but the movie used the Beatles recording which you have to pay expensively for. In fact it got Paul McCartney mad because of the added horns.
"I don't know who Dirty Harry is." Well, then, I'm going to suggest a little film called Dirty Harry. :)
Dirty Harry, the patron saint of all militias
Definitely! I'm pretty sure Clint Eastwood will get on the "can get it" list
Wait, is that the one with Dirty Harry in it?
I LOL'd for real
somebody's feeling lucky...
This is actually my all-time favorite movie. To appreciate these 80s teen movies better, you kind of had to grow up around that same timeframe. John Hughes really spoke to my generation (aka Gen X), so we embraced his movies because we could relate to them so well.
I think it very much helps to have the context. Take breakfast club. it was seminal because it was one of the first movies for the Gen X generation that openly talked about suicide, the pressure to be pretty or perfect, the pressure on guys to fit a standard of masculinity, the child abuse, bullying, suburban kids bringing weapons to school. I related to it in I had a kid pull his gun on me in my high school parking lot. But i surely never considered things like the burden of trying to live up to any standard of perfection Molly Ringwald's character did. And additionally i think we all knew those characters. The athlete, pretty girl, the girls that world all black and seemed kinda messy and weird, the stoner kid that got in trouble alot, the nerdy kid. I think when the era was latchkey kids, aids, crack addict parents, drive by shootings and gang violence against a back drop of 80s corporate wealth and Reaganomics that never trickled down to the masses it was meaningful to even have someone acknowledge all the kids that to different degrees, were growing up with a level of trauma, from mild to life threatening.
I "TOTALLY" agree with both of you, when I watch "Say Anything" I always laugh at the scene where they are at the party and he towers over everybody else there. I just love John Cousak, he and his sister, Joan always seems to love working together. 😊

Well to tell you the truth in all this excitement I've kinda lost track myself.
She has to do reactions on at least Dirty Harry and Magnum Force.
Do I feel lucky? Well do ya? Punk!
“I don’t know who Dirty Harry is”
🤦♂️
"This gave me feelings of Home Alone and The Breakfast Club."
Well yes, John Hughes does have a signature style for his movies.
Dont forget PT and A
She like PT & A because they are not his signature teen movies.
Goodfellas reminds me of Raging Bull and Mean Streets.
breakfast club even takes place in the same universe
Hughes is a legend.
That actual Ferrari is so rare, they couldn't even afford the insurance to have the car sitting on set. So that's a fiberglass replica over some regular car frame.
Good. It would be a shame to wreck a real one.
Brit Chris Evans, who I cannot stand, paid £5.5 million for a 1961 Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder Short Wheelbase which previously belonged to James Coburn.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Evans_(presenter)
January 2020 A fake Ferrari famously used in iconic 1980s movie Ferris Bueller's Day Off, was sold for a $396k ... not cheap either :-)
A real 250 GT California Spyder was used for close-up shots , a real one was sold in 2008 price was over $10 mil , that was James Coburn's Ferrari .
They had 3 cars build to the movie , one just a shell to crash it , 2nd was manual and 3rd automatic , when "Ferris" could not drive with a manual .
And that's not even the most expensive 250. A 250 GTO sold for $70M a few years back.

Ferris Bueller's sister is........
"Nobody puts baby in a corner"
- Patrick Swayze
Ferris Bueller's sister is Patrick Swayze?!
... amazing makeup. 👏
"Ferris" is a movie for all ages. I introduced my mom to it when she was in her early 80s, and she loved it.
You are simply wrong, Ashleigh.
I love it too, but an opinion can't be wrong, Cal.
@@chiefscheider Beautifully said. Ashleigh didn’t grow up back then, so she can’t understand it the way older people do, but her opinion is as valid as anyone else’s.
@@chiefscheider opinions can absolutely be wrong. you're entitled to your opinion, that's it. you may have the opinion that the sky is made of buttermilk, but it isn't
Interesting. Imagine saying to someone "You may have the opinion that Ferris Bueller is a bad movie, but it isn't." Opinions aren't based on fact or knowledge, they're based on individual views or judgments. Your "the sky is made of buttermilk" nonsense isn't an opinion; it's an incorrect contradiction of a fact. It's like saying that someone has the "opinion" that 2 + 2 = 5. Ridiculous post, Kevin.
@@chiefscheider Nothing that you said changes what I said. "Opinions aren't based on fact or knowledge" Yes they are dumb dumb. They are based on one's interpretation of the facts, filtered by that person's perspective and biases. And we know that people have silly interpretations of many things. It is quite possible to develop an "opinion" that is the exact opposite of the truth. Which would make the opinion wrong. Go back to your toys. You don't understand words.
"i asked for a car, i got a computer" says the star of the movie "WAR GAMES"
I think she'd like War Games.
Ah, another 80s classic.
"Hello, Joshua".
?"Would you like to play a game?"
That joke in this film is only good if you ever saw Wargames
"When Cameron was in Egypts land, let my Cameron gooooo."
I sing it to myself frequently
@@erictaylor5877 Same
One of my favorite lines!!
Ferris is actually trying to help Cameron live his life better.
the whole point of the day off was for cam. ferris knew what he was doing all along. save ferris!
The reason Ferris reminds you of Home Alone and Breakfast Club is John Hughes wrote all 3 films and directed 2 of them. The man was a gift from heaven and film has suffered since his passing. RIP John Hughes.
"I don't know who Dirty Harry is."
Everyone: Watch Dirty Harry now.
YES!
So true. And I am pretty sure the young Clint Eastwood could get it too.
Hell, start Clint Eastwood with A Fistful of Dollars.
YES, she needs to watch DIRTY HARRY!
I think Ashleigh would like Every Which Way But Loose.
Odd things about the film: Matthew Broderick and Jennifer Grey (Ferris and his sister) were a couple at the time the film was made; Alan Ruck (Cameron) was 30 years old at the time, too.
Ferris is the spirit of "get off your ass and do something!"
Carpe Diem
Day of the goldfish?
I love the fact that the two actors that played his parents ended up getting married a couple of years later and are still together.
They divorced in the 90s:
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyman_Ward_(actor)#Life_and_career
Also, Broderick and Grey played siblings here yet started dating because of this film.
They are not still together, haven't been for some time
@@Wired4Life2 Oh yeah, then Broderick killed someone with his car.
@@nathanmagro1 I hate the internet for teaching us that.
Sounds like Dirty Dancing also needs to be on the list with how Ashleigh didn't recognize Jennifer Grey.
So Dirty Dancing and then Dirty Harry.
Pre-nose job too
My thoughts exactly
And Red Dawn.
To be fair, no one does now.
This movie came out while I was in junior high. It played on a fantasy: Ditching school for the best day ever.
Exactly! That went right over her head.
You remember "Grace" from another Hughes movie, Planes, Trains & Automobiles. She was at the rental car ticket counter; the recipient of Steve Martin's f-bomb tirade.
Yeah she was!!
And she was in Grease too
She was also in Elvira, Mistress of the Dark. She's been in tons of movies and TV.
Edie McClurg is her name, for those who are curious.
Ashley: “I don’t know who Dirty Harry is”
Well looks like you need to add another film to the list.
all great till whassisname that played harry got old and argued with a chair.
Right! Godfather Part II lol jk
Sudden Impact, that would make my day ;-)
It should have read, YOU DON'T KNOW WHO DIRTY HARRY IS???? Good grief Charlie Brown.....
It will make your day, I promise Ashley
Matthew and Jennifer, who played siblings, were actually dating when they made this movie. The couple who played the parents of Ferris actually fell in love on the set, married, and now have two kids! It's a perfect 80's movie and probably wouldn't fit into any other decade.
And I, for one, am glad Matthew & Jennifer didn't end up together because I adore his wife, Sarah Jessica Parker!
@@igna83 there was no way, realistically, that their relationship was going to survive the Ireland cover-up...
Ashleigh: "I can't relate to skipping school"
Me: "NEEEEEEEEEERD!!!" ;)
I never skipped school.
Nowadays they probably just watch movies and play on their cell phones all day in school and get automatic As handed out. It probably isn't the rigorous, restrictive torture it was in the '80s.
“If only he would just stand up for himself.”
-Oh he will.
“Ferris is going to ruin that car.”
Well.. not exactly.
Classic! President Nixon’s speechwriter is now known as “the eye drop guy”
Or from Win Ben Stein’s Money game show :)
...and The Wonder Years, that's where I first saw Ben Stein
...and his deeply stupid creationist movie Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed
It's fine if he's forgotten.
And it's his own fault.
"I can't relate to skipping school. I never skipped school."
Neeeeeeeeeerrrd!
Old school 😆
If you're home-schooled, how do you skip?
@@mattmanyam Well, you put your right leg forward, and then you do a little hop. Then put your left foot forward...
@@notmee2388 Touché!
Good call! She needs to watch Revenge of the Nerds.
This is one of the iconic movies from the 80's. A very funny look at high school kids challenging authority while having fun doing it. Even though you say you didn't enjoy it, you were laughing out loud at many of the jokes, so maybe you enjoyed it a little bit.
It was never iconic though 😂. That's pure contemporary revisionism from the internet era.
@ Wrong.
Dirty Harry and Dirty Dancing. Now is a good time to add those two movies to the list. Heck, declare a theme month and you can round it out with Dirty Rotten Scoundrels and The Dirty Dozen! ;-)
As far as Cameron goes, Ferris was really trying to help his friend break out of his shell and build up some self confidence and self respect. Remember what Ferris says, "he's going to marry the first girl he lays" and she won't respect him because he'll wind up kissing her ass all the time. Cameron's willingness to take the heat for the car really shows some growth for him.
It seems a lot of people don't understand that Ferris was trying to save Cameron and was doing some tough love while having fun. Sure he went too far with the car, but from a script writing point of view as the car representing the father it makes sense.
6:23 "He did not really make you do anything, if you would just stand up for yourself". Exactly, he would not and Ferris saw that and wanted to change that in him.
@@n.d.m.515 Nowadays it would be argued as a "mental health day". School would demand a doctor's note anyhow.
Well sure but I'm beginning to suspect that the first girl he lays will be Sloane Peterson.
@@alanmackie7012 I thought I was the only one picking up that vibe from the movie. I got serious "when Ferris leaves these two are totally going to get together" feels from it every time I watched it.
The painting that Cameron was staring at is called A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte by Georges Seurat, it's 81.7 in × 121.25 in a HUGE painting and the whole thing is done by a technique called pointillism, the whole thing is done by pretty much nothing but little dots.
That construction man wasn't even an extra, he was actually doing his job at first and decided to dance.
It's also the subject of a Stephen Sondheim musical ''Sunday in the Park with George.'' The original starred Mandy Patinkin (Inigo in ''The Princess Bride'') and Bernadette Peters (Marie in ''The Jerk''). th-cam.com/video/kFQGkm2VFy4/w-d-xo.html
@@rickardroach9075 When I was in Boot Camp for the Navy, I was at Great Lakes Naval Station and after I was finished I went with my family, who came up to see me graduate, to Chicago and one of the first things I wanted to do was go the Art Museum and I saw it. It's a beautiful work of art and the play is one of Sondheim's finest. I also saw the stairs from The Untouchables.
@@chiconeededthemoney Jealous. 😢
Jennifer Grey: "I want out of this family."
Ashley: "That's....dramatic."
Me: "That's....Ferris Bueller's Day Off."
Ferris hacking on his computer...
Oh yeah! Add "Wargames" to the list!
Definitely
Wouldn’t you prefer a good game of chess?
Honestly, this is a movie that needs to be watched while your still in school to really enjoy and to build that nostalgic "I watch it every time it's on" feeling. It's the perfect school skipping fantasy, pretty girlfriend, awesome car, ruining the principles day/life, etc..
When Edie McClurg (Grace) pulled a pencil out of her hair, as a joke, they asked her how many could she get in their and then shot the scene.
Well we all know the next movie you need to watch, Dirty Harry.
Charlie Sheen stayed awake for two days to get his look for the film. These days he looks like that naturally.
This is the kind of movie that is best watched when you are a teen.
All three movies mentioned: this one, Breakfast Club, and Home Alone were all done by the same director, John Hughes. That's why you're getting those similar vibes :D
Rip John Hughes
Home Alone was directed by Chris Columbus.
@@SweetBearCub true but John wrote home alone
I'm surprised you didn't recognise Ferris' sister from the lead in Dirty Dancing, but then I remembered you might not've seen it :D
Also, watch Dirty Dancing and Dirty Harry.
"was anyone's high school experience really like this?"
Not the whole movie but there were parts that still have me smiling 30 years later.
And... I don't remember all the days I went to class but I sure remember the days I didn't...
The art montage is iconic. Think of it this way - in an era when most movies' idea of teenagers having fun was to show them at loud parties getting drunk and having sex, John Hughes throws in a 2 minute scene of the 3 friends enjoying an an art gallery. It's almost a refuge for the audience as well as the characters in the middle of the film. Loved it when I first watched it, love it now.
Next movies you need to try - Crocodile Dundee, American Werewolf in London, Tron, Flash Gordon...
it's also a very well known Chicago destination. there are tours and field trips there.
I agree with flash, but will she recognize who did the theme song?
John Hughes has also said that scene was pure self-indulgence for him considering he loves that museum. But I love your comment.
Up until the 1960's (it varied by manufacturer), odometer could be "rolled back" by driving the car in reverse. It was re-designed to eliminate that option to prevent fraudulent claims on how many miles were actually on a car when it was sold.
The actress playing Grace is Edie McClurg. She was also in Planes, Trains & Automobiles - "You're fucked." I absolutely adore her. XD XD
I have never heard anyone in my life ever use the phrase "This was like The Breakfast Club" as a negative.
She’s a millennial. No taste at all
Ok so the fact that you didn’t say his sister is the girl from dirty dancing then you gotta watch “Dirty Dancing”
Pleasssse 🙏🏻😎😁
Great reaction as usual!
Oh, yes! I love Dirty Dancing!
@@CalliopePony me too!! I hope she can get around to it!
I would love a Dirty Dancing reaction!
@@elizabethm4824 omg yes I think she would love it too!
Also starring one of Ashleigh's faves.... Patrick Swayze.
I personally love the theory that Ferris isn’t real and that it’s all just a psychotic episode happening inside Cameron’s head.
Ben Stein, the visine guy, was actually an economics adviser to President Nixon! He also had a great game show with Jimmy Kimmel, Win Ben Stein's Money. And Grace was in a lot of 80's tv shows and movies. She was the car rental employee in Planes, Trains, and Automobiles that Steve Martin curses out.
Ben Stein is also a stoopit Trumpie now.
@@squibblesquabblereactions5431 guess he likes working for criminals!
@@MikeB12800 it would seem to be the case.
The painting that Cameron was starring at was painted by individual single dots. That's why he was zoned out into it. If you get a chance to see it in real life you'll do the same thing for a few.
I think it was a Monet.
@@michaelsegriff3362 It’s A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte, by Georges Seurat.
It's a Seurat. The title is "A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grand Jatte". And the whole 'painting with dots' thing is a technique known as pointillism. I've been to Chicago and seen it in person, and I basically thought of this scene the entire time. :P
@@Paiste2002Fan Thank you. Appreciate that.
@@Paiste2002Fan Thanks! I should know better.
“This is so home alone.” John Hughes wrote the script for home alone. “I want to be Grace when I grow up.“ The actress who plays Grace plays the Airline ticket attendant who cusses with Steve Martin in planes trains and automobiles. Ferris Bueller and planes trains and automobiles were both directed by John Hughes.
Basically, because he made the same movie several times in a row, you can see the evolution of John Hughes' thought process:
Judd Nelson in Breakfast Club -> Charlie Sheen, Ferris house-hacks -> Home Alone house-hacks, John Candy & Steve Martin in Planes Trains & Automobiles -> at least half a dozen snob-vs-slob comedies in every possible scenario.
According to Guinness, Hughes wrote three screenplays in four days, and Ferris and Breakfast were two of them.
I was going to mention that actress but you beat me to it!
She is also in "Carrie" and "Elvira Mistress of the Dark" coming up for Hallowbeans. Also, commercials, TV shows and a ton of other movies...also the original Pee wees playhouse (HBO)
Just a small correction: actress Edie Mcclurg was the rental car agent, not airline attendant, in Planes, Trains, and Automobiles.
"I want a f*cking car...right f*cking now"
Also, Thorton's secretary in Back to School, Marge Sweetwater
As a young man of the 80's it was the right amount of Cheese. The 80's was full of Cheesy things but that is why we loved it!
11:28 John Hughes said in the Director's Commentary for the DVD release (before he passed away) that when Cameron looks into the abstract painting and the closer the camera focuses into it the dots become even more and more abstract was meant to show Cameron realizing how disconnected he was from his own life living under the thumb of his controlling father. A deleted scene at the police station with the bad boy Jeanie meets when the mother comes to collect her reveals that he used to be friends with Ferris, leaving it heavily suggested that Ferris really did everything for Cameron to help snap him out of his melancholy.
I have no animosity for you not liking this movie. It is from a different time. One of the things I like about your reactions is how honest and real your reactions are. I will continue to enjoy this movie as well as others that you didn't like(breakfast club, Blues Brothers, and beetlejuice). We are all enrolled to our opinions and I will continue to watch your reactions.
I appreciate her honesty, too, but I also think sometimes there are so many movies reacted to that she does not have enough time to do just a little research on the movie and its place as an iconic movie. She keeps calling it so Home Alone, but Home Alone was like 5 years later. Part of the reason we liked movies is because we understood the cultural context. I guess I wish more reactors would put some work into the context. I know Ashleigh probably does not want to spoil it, but at the same time, it ruins the possibility of her liking the movie more. I guess I am just disappointed when I see someone sort of reactively move through a reaction scene by scene without really understanding the larger themes.
you actually believe shes never seen this? i damn sure dont, a lot of these channels lie about seeing the movies the first time
@@breakingames7772 Yes. Everyone but you believes that Ashleigh is telling the truth about her film watching experience. Good grief dude. Please go grab some life elsewhere and leave the rest of us, and Ashleigh, alone.
I’m surprised to encounter someone who doesn’t like it, as it seems most people do, but I get it. I also agree the scenes mentioned feel a little long. I wonder if living through the 80’s helps understand what these kinds of movies are about though… understanding the feeling of being in that time rather than just looking at it backwards from today through movies alone.
@@AnthonyL0401 fair point but I look at it as the complexity of pop culture. We're always building on what came before. We will always have generations who's first view of a cultural meme is the later development, not the foundation. Those fresh eyes are going to see the classics in stark contrast of where things are rather than the bias of "classic" foundations. Sometimes its interesting to see whether something really holds up under that fresh perspective; even more impressive when it does.
Put "Dirty Harry" (1971) on the list. It is one of Clint Eastwood's iconic roles in an iconic film.
She'll probably hate that too and say it has 'too much 70s cheese in it'.
@@yt45204 It will make her day.

Me: "I can't relate to skipping school, I never went."
Some movies that were innovative when they came out - like his breaking the 4th wall with his "are you still here" in the credits - may not hold up over time. I get that. This was a ground-breaker, which is why it was so quotable. Good reaction. Enjoyed it!
I absolutely love that you're honest about not liking the movie.
What I think people enjoyed about this movie was that we could live vicariously through Ferris.
agreed. i was still in elementary school when it come out so ferris was like the older brother i didn't have. i wanted to grow up and have a crazy day off just like he did.
“What an awful voice for teaching history”
You should meet Gilbert Gottfried in the movie Problem Child.
...or Bobcat Goldthwait in "Police Academy."
Funny thing is he improvised that.
I like Problem Child 2 better 🙂
At least it would be hard to fall asleep in class.
Of course Gilbert Gottfried's voice would be wasted on history, have you heard him read erotica? :P
The first time I watched Ferris Bueller's Day Off was when I was 12 years old. For some reason, despite the fact this was 2001 and the movie was 15 years old at this point, it was the in-flight entertainment on my family's plane ride back from Germany. But I'm glad it was because I've loved it ever since. Plus, I grew up in suburban Chicago, where much of the movie was filmed, so I love seeing all the familiar places.
Ferris Bueller to this day has a following that would pay serious box office bank to have a sequel with the grown up versions of these characters. Say what you want, the movie has a following and staying power. That said, Ashleigh, you're entitled to your opinion, but for a couple generations, this and yes, the breakfast club, are foundational elements. Rest in Peace John Hughes, you made your mark.
Laughs through the whole movie. gets to the end and says I didn't like it! That's why we love you
😂😂😂🥰💗
And then gives it 3 stars anyway...which by most standards is a thumbs up/recommended rating.
Ferris: “it’s over. Go home.”
Ashleigh: “Stop showing me stuff to look at!”
I’ve seen this movie a million times and I always subconsciously thought this… You said it perfectly Ash!
Ashley.. This was also referred to at the end of Deadpool.....
@Jon's Labyrinth No, there were no post-credit teasers before Iron Man (twenty years later). Audiences just stayed because they liked it.
@@ericjanssen394 Actually back then, there were only one or two small doors to the theater (not counting the fire escape). So when a movie was over, it took a long time for people to get out. So some people would just keep their seat and watch the credits or talk about the movie, until the "cattle chute" cleared up. With this movie, those "late-leavers" saw the post-credits scene and then told their friends... "Stay until the very end of the credits. Trust me."
I think the guys at Marvel were watching the after credit scene and had a bright idea....😀
@@JozeeWalz They used this ending in Deadpool
The actor played Cameron as a high school senior, in real life he was 29.
Such an iconic 80s film.
Please add WAR GAMES - Matthew Broderick is excellent in that.
everybody caught the Dirty Harry watchlist addition but Farris's sister was the main character from Dirty Dancing which would be a good watch.

I love how you keep making Home Alone connections. Both are John Hughes movies.
The sound (and the making of the sound) Cameron produced on his cheek is called a “ploit.”
Truly.
Frederick R. Newman taught me that (and others, like the glottal fry), years before Michael Winslow made the scene.
When you get permmision to film in the middle of the St Patty's day parade in Chicago, you use all the footage you can.
There was a ska band called "Save Ferris" who covered "Come on Eileen"; Also the most beautiful instrumental of "Please let me get what I want" by the Smiths during the museum montage. Though I would have hated Ferris too, the message still works: there are more important things than what they tell you to stress about
I was a small kid when this movie came out. My sister was in high school then and she loved it. I remember not liking it when I first saw it and every teen would say, "You'll appreciate it when you're older." Well, they were absolutely right. LOL I watched it again in high school and loved it. I still enjoy it to this day. :) It's a classic for me, but no shade that you didn't enjoy it. We all like different things.
Oh, and the art montages is about a minute and beautiful. Cameron's experience opens his eyes.
The sister is Jennifer Grey who later was in dirty dancing (also recommend watching) and this was Charlie’s first movie.
No, it wasn't. He was in Red Dawn before this.

For some reason I thought Ashleigh reviewed Dirty Dancing. I keep waiting for her to say "That's Baby!"
more like his 10th film
Really impressed with your knowledge of the Hawley-Smoot Act.
That's because she never skipped school. Then again, if you don't have the City of Chicago as your playground, why bother.
It's a little known fact that in some deleted scenes Ferris reveals that he's skipped school because Cameron hasn't been going to school due to depression. His plan is to show Cameron how fun life is by having a great time out on the town for a day to fix the depression. That's why they were at the art museum, baseball game, in parade, and dinning at a swanky restaurant. Ferris is hard on Cameron because Ferris ignored the depression signs of his other BFF, who dropped out of school and became a criminal and drug addict. Ferris hated himself for not helping his friend when he could. His other friend is played by Charlie Sheen who got arrested and was sitting with Jeanie at the cop shop. Ferris can't stand the idea of Cameron ending up like Charlie.
It's amazing though Jeanie never met Ferris' friend Garth Volbeck before.
@@jedijones Maybe that's why they cut those scenes?
@@Scumdrops420 I think the script explains it by saying he was banned from their house because his older brother was already in jail.
@@jedijones If you knew the answer why'd you ask? Lol
@@Scumdrops420 I knew that, but that doesn't change my opinion about it being amazing she never met him.
I love 80's cheese. Its fun and refreshing. All the fun has gone out of today's younger folks films. Try "Risky Buisness." Cheese with a kind of interesting story line.
Whenever you need to put your name in for a reservation or to wait at a restaurant, just tell them your name is Abe Fromman.
I have done this multiple times and it's always hilarious when they announce your table is ready.
I'm glad you weren't afraid to give a negative reaction. The day you release a video that seems anything less than genuine will be the day that people stop watching you.
I was actually expecting her to not like it cuz she didn't like Breakfast Club. It's hard to watch teen movies when you're an adult. Especially silly, 80s, John Hughes teen movies. So she should pass on 16 Candles- that movie is too rapey for her. Weird Science can be skipped... Again, a little too misogynistic for her. She may like Some Kind of Wonderful and Pretty in Pink though. They're a little deeper and less silly
Don’t feel bad for not relating to the John Hughes films, this period was his ode to both Chicago and coming of age teenage transition in the suburban middle class life of the late 70s to mid-80s. He was one of the first directors speaking to and capturing Generation X “in-between” culture/identity struggles. This is also in a time where there were no media outlets for relating to each other (tv neglected this period until MTV, positioning mostly for the generations before and after). So the disconnect you see is because this was not answering your longing for validation/recognition at the time as it was originally for many of us; and those that do not see that do not yet understand that each generations experiences, while relevant, will latch on to different items in culture as their ‘foundational’ methods of relating to each other. The keys to judging such a film from outside the perspective of pure personal enjoyment is to first understand and relate to the intended audience; but Ashley is not a critic, she provides a alternative perspective to relive moments of fist experiences vicariously.
There's so much more to the film than just speaking to one generation. Ben Stein loves the film and, even though he was in it, he has a lot more good to say about it than just his part. And he certainly wasn't part of the teen generation then. It's a very funny and very deep movie. It's got an underlying, universal theme of people wanting to break free of society's restrictive, mind-numbing rules and regulations and enjoy free thought and new experiences. So if someone is watching the film and only thinking about "Clear Eyes" eyedrops and Home Alone, they're doing it wrong. This reaction didn't spend one second asking anything about what the film meant.
Today, for me, was a horrible day I wish I didn’t have to experience. Just, a horrible horrible day. It was 7pm on Saturday night and I was thinking of just going to bed, call it a day. But for some reason at the last minute I decided to watch this video first. You made me smile and laugh, you always do. I feel better right now. Just know your fans love you. I’m glad you’re alive 😁
As someone who constantly ditched school... one of my favs as a kid.
I actually had a principal who advised his students that they could never get away with skipping school because he "knew all the places kids would go to hide" and nonsense like that, and I was just sitting there thinking, "Does this guy think he's Ed Rooney, like he's really going to come out and personally track us down?" I skipped quite a lot and he never was the wiser.
@@Corn_Pone_Flicks I missed at least 25 days per semester. Still graduated on time.
How refreshing, a reactioner that tells us when they don't like a movie.
i wholly agree
I would agree, however before the movie even started, she said this is going to be her shortest preview to date. She also compared it to Breakfast Club, which she could not relate to. I believe she has trouble relating to big city stuff, like Chicago (Blues Brothers and FBDO) or a big high school. 🤔 I got a very negative vibe.
She does that. It is neat.
@@keywesttexmex1 The preview is what she knows about the movie in question. Since she didn't know anything about it, it's going to be short. I was a teenager during the 80's and did not care for this movie or The Breakfast Club. At least she's giving older movies WAY before her time a shot & if they don't stand the test of time, then that's okay. I know I sure can't relate to teenage movies made today.
@@keywesttexmex1 I don't understand where you got the big city thing.
In the eighties there were two distinct groups of students, the future doctors and lawyers , and the people who just didn't do well in school. Ferris was in that small group of people who were smart enough to fit in the first group while at the same time able to see that youth is a time to live and enjoy life - a brief window. The technology, the computers, the keyboard, all very new was a wild thing to see. And of course there was Mia and Jennifer. Can't forget the car. So many reasons to enjoy this movie, I've lost track of how many times I've seen it.
Personally, I think Cameron's hairstyle is even more fantastic than the principal's. Flawless, really.
The actress playing Grace (Edie McClurg) also played the car rental agent in "Planes, Trains & Automobiles".
The scene on the float was a real parade that they "crashed". The scenes of people dancing around were real people.
There was construction going on nearby and the cameraman caught a construction worker dancing on film. The director liked it and decided to put it in the movie.
Pretty sure they were artifical people!!! 😅🙃
This was the best part of the movie. So perfect! Can't believe Ashly didn't like this. It went on too long??
@@JozeeWalz Whenever I watch this movie, I get up and dance along during this scene. :)
But if you don't like the character of Ferris, watching him ham it up would probably be annoying.
@@mradan2093 She needs to watch Back To School. :)
Quite possibly the only reactor to ever complain that they played all of Twist & Shout by The Beatles.
Throwback movie for me. This popped right after i grad from HS. It was light, fun and for pretty much everyone.
The first “Vacation” w Chevy Chase needs to be soon!!!! I think you’re going to really love it..
Yeah, I think she'll like that too. I wasn't surprised she didn't like this movie cuz she didn't like The Breakfast Club. To be fair they're teen movies and she's an adult. Even I can't rewatch John Hughes teen movies as an adult.
Yes I’ve been asking for this for the longest time
Oh I know him. He's uhh that old man from Community!
The sister is Jennifer Grey who would later star as Baby in Dirty Dancing.
One of my favorite movies.
The scene where Grace is pulling pencils out of her hair came about because John Hughes asked her how many pencils she could get in that hairdo and so they decided to find out.
Those window washers were not paid extras, they just heard the music and started dancing.
This video was so amazing keep up the good work
“You think you’ll be alive this weekend?”
Such an underrated line!
I feel like Bill and Teds Excellent Adventure would be an "excellent" choice you,
Andddddddf she'll never watch it again.
Don't diss us gen-z'rs, back in 1986 we had like 10 movies to watch, not the millions you have today at the press of the button . Movies were a completely different experience for our generation, having to wait till the weekend to get a lift to the video rental store, hoping they have a copy available, having to rewind it first because the last person didnt , then watching it as many time as you could in the 48 hours you have it without the parents going mad because you only had one television in the living room, having to take the video back and paying a fine if it's late.. Movies were so much more than just "what sh!ts on Netflix tonight?" . . You kids don't know you're alive 😂
HAHAHA I love this
You mean us Gen X-ers!
@@awkwardashleigh February 15, 1988. ENNISKILLEN, Northern Ireland (AP) _ Movie actor Matthew Broderick was fined $175 today for his role in a car crash that killed a woman and her daughter in Northern Ireland . Broderick was accused of driving on the wrong side of the road when the crash occurred
@@kylereese4822 What’s the point of this spam?
Quote: "back in 1986 we had like 10 movies to watch" ... Are you joking? Perhaps you never lived near by a video rental store, but me and my mates would rent dozens of movies every week. There were already thousands of movies available by the mid-80s, with also a bunch of new VHS title releases every single week. Sounds like you missed out, big time.
17:08 Well stop showing me things to look at 😂🤣 I absolutely adore you & your reactions. You're hilarious.
You were correct when you said in your opening,”what the hell do I know?”
Ferris has a Simple Minds poster on his wall, which is a reference to The Breakfast Club.
Ferris’s girlfriend is played by Mia Sara. She also starred in the 1985 fantasy movie Legend, with a VERY young Tom Cruise. I definitely recommend you watch Legend. Stay well! 🌻
That Tangerine Dream soundtrack ❤️
Yes, absolutely!
Please, watch the theatrical version, if you watch Legend. I tried the director’s cut with the new musical score; it ruined my childhood. I didn’t care about any of the changes to this movie but, one. They went and changed the music for the “Dress” scene. I actually turned it off; that’s how mad I was. So, if you do get the chance to see this movie, the theatrical version is the best in my opinion. 💜
Agree! It was directed by Ridely Scott (Alien) I only recently found out that Tim Curry plays Darkness in the film! Definitely a strange and beautiful movie.
Unfortunately, I read somewhere that Tom Cruise has disavowed the film. This has happened to me several times where I find out the actors starring in one of my favorite films hate the movie.
I enjoy your completely authentic reactions to all of the movies- thank you! Looking forward to the next ones! ✌
The actor and actress that played Ferris' Mom and Dad got married in real life after this movie
