Ferris Bueller's Day Off

Larger than life, and blessed with a magical sense of serendipity, Ferris Bueller is a model for all those who take themselves too seriously. One spring day, toward the end of his senior year, Ferris (Matthew Broderick) gives in to an overwhelming urge to cut school and head for downtown Chicago with his girl (Mia Sara) and his best friend (Alan Ruck), to see the sights, experience a day of freedom and show that with a little ingenuity, a bit of courage and a red Ferrari, life at 17 can be a joy. Featuring Charlie Sheen and Jennifer Grey, it’s of the most iconic films of the 80s, and one of writer/director John Hughes’ best.
