I love how John Hughes always portrayed teenagers as having a full awareness of the world around them and the adults tending to be so narrow minded.

[@GarretGrayCamera]

His movies were the first to treat teens like human beings. And sadly they stopped doing that soon after and teens became cliches once again.

[@frankschneider6156]

I can't forget this movie back when it came out I was working at WEB Coin Laundry Company, we supplied apartments with washers and dryers, we had a custodian named Gary Bueller, and because of this movie everytime they called Gary over the intercom they'd always say Bueller, Bueller ,Bueller !! We'd all bust up, whenever they called for Gary Bueller !!!😀😀

My dad showed me this movie when I was 15 about 8 years ago. I’m glad he showed me movies he watched when he was in his 20s.

[@Bernie3000]

I was 8 when my uncle took me to see Ferris Buellers Day Off. My uncle was a bit of a Ferris himself. He was never on time, life seemed to come pretty easy to him and found the humour in most things. My uncle was late picking me up and when we finally got into the theatre we couldn’t sit next to each other, he had to sit behind me. That was a first for me! This movie was the first time I thought “I never want this movie to end.” I found it magical, wonderful and I hoped I would have days like this when I became a teen.

I have multiple versions of that song by different artists (and by Dream Academy) I never knew the Smiths could be that good

[@1rhpsfan]

"Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want" originally by The Smiths performed on the film's soundtrack by Dream Academy. Also Minty, are you one of those who take stock in the theory of Ferris Beuller being a construct made up by Cameron?

[@Paul876]

Agreed, great movie and excellent music, including the museum sequence and accompanying instrumental music. Classic.

[@gregboyington4896]

Paulo, checkout the Smiths "Back to the Old House" from the Peel sessions album with just vocals and 12 string guitar, very beautiful. Johnny Marr's guitar performance is wonderful.

[@InnerProp]

I saw this in the theater when it came out. I loved it so much I just sat there and watched all the credits roll to the very end, just wishing there could be more, then Ferris came out and told ME to go home. I read that John Hughes put that end in to trick the audience. It was Ferris putting one more over on everybody. He said he imagined the audience getting up and being halfway to the door and then there was more movie. They would come back and it would be over. I didn't fall for it, I was waiting for it. I grew up in Chicago and was about Ferris' age when the movie came out. Our family dog we rescued in 2017 is named Ferris.

[@douglasgriffiths3534]

I love the movie too, and watched all the credits, and Ferris coming out to tell us it was over and to go home. I was 29 when it was released, and my then-husband and our friends wanted to watch another movie, so I saw Ferris on my own. My mini horse mare's 3rd colt is named Ferris. I named him. I sold him to a family with 2 girls, and they love him very much. (Jan Griffiths).

Maybe it's me but the movies were awesome in 1986. And though I missed seeing FB in the theatre, it has become one of my faves. It's just a classic that will never get old. I do want to point out to Sir Paul (whom I do have respect for) that he can gripe all he wants about "Twist & Shout" and it sounding too "brassy", but it's not his song; it's not The Beatles' song; it's an Isley Brothers song.

(I did go to a bank to have my GBP changed into dollars that I later recognised as the same bank Beverley withdraws her cash from in the novel 'It'. I hadn't read the book at the time I was actually there so couldn't have realised it was a real world location from famous fiction at the time.)

Putting aside recent movies including his movies in the last 15 years Robert Downey Jr could’ve pulled off being Ferris.

[@christopherlemp]

Both were actors who didn’t seem to age for many years.

[@TheRealKaiProton]

RDjnr, was in Weird science, as a Douche, I think

[@johnphantom]

@@TheRealKaiProton How dare you call RDjr a douche! He was one in the movie though

[@Fanuc_Operator1990]

What do you mean last 15 years of movies aside? Iron man was fucking sick. The second 2 weren't the best but certainly not the worst movies and he was great in avengers, especially endgame.

[@TheRealKaiProton]

@@johnphantom Dammit Guys, I added coma's to try to move that comment to the way I meant, I dont even know the man, so why would I say hes a Douche, his Character in WS was a douche...

[@christopherthompson8609]

Minty: in case nobody has mentioned it, you should look at the Ferris Bueler/Fight Club theory.

[@brandonpage7087]

He had an older video that discussed that theory, but i think it may have been taken down.

[@DucatiPaso750]

I think you should review "La Bamba", the story of Ritchie Valens.

[@rado3880]

Kindly explain or tell us something more about this theory.

[@christopherthompson8609]

@@rado3880 tl;dr version is that Ferris is Cameron's "Tyler Durden". Non-tl;dr version is MUCH better. Google it.

Love your vids minty. Always something interesting from my childhood. Keep em coming and keep up the great work.

[@lokust]

Man, your commenting on movies is ALWAYS brilliant, funny and on point! Thank you, THANK YOU for doing Ferris bueller and giving you MUCH Chicago love👍🏿😁⭐👍🏿😁⭐👍🏿😁⭐👍🏿😁⭐

[@theguyonthecouch42024]

Are you suggesting that I am not who I say I am?

[@trinaq]

Such a classic childhood flick! Alan Ruck looked pretty youthful, despite being on the cusp of 30, and there's a theory that Cameron may have imagined Ferris, a la "Fight Club"! 🤔😂

[@markleopard8960]

i heard that one to. i like and agree with the theory that Farris planned everything to save Cameron because they were all about to go their separate was. and Farris wasn't goung to be able to protect camron anymore

[@bradleygerber454]

Yeah I was wondering if he'd touch on that. The Fight Club Theory of Ferris Bueller is a curious take on the story.

[@christianellegaard7120]

I graduated high school in June 1986. Ferris, and Sloane, have a very special place in my heart.

[@JediBunny]

YES! One of my favourites, thanks, Minty 😎

[@coastalpaladin5024]

Can you please do the movie Fletch?

[@RileyKTT]

Yesssss

[@tremoloman]

"Why don't you two go to the gym and pump each other..." :P

[@kellyweingart3692]

lol

[@bobbyincidemetal]

I love Fletch!!! Funny af.

[@theincrediblemisternobody8724]

Also, Jon Cryer was considered for the role of Ferris Bueller. I agree 100% it's impossible to imagine anyone but Matthew Broderick in the role, and I honestly don't think the film would have been nearly as successful if any of the main roles were recast.

[@tomb8430]

True classic film. Although I hated Ferris as a smart-arse, I loved this film just the same. Truly iconic. One of the best ever. I agree that Cameron is the most interesting character in this film. Nice review bro.

[@JesusChrist-xb7jq]

One fact that was left out was the popularity of the movie actually brought the song “Twist and Shout” back onto the Top 40 Billboard charts.

[@kimchi2780]

Minty you must do The Gods Must Be Crazy!

[@vanhopecomedy]

Kim Chi yes I definitely agree!

[@donellmuniz590]

Yeah, that was a great movie! The hot chick scientist and the handsome-but-bumbling would-be Crocodile Dundee nerd were so cute. They had chemistry.

[@toptonychick]

There is a Simple Minds poster in Ferriss's bedroom. They did the soundtrack to The Breakfast club, ehich is also a John Hughs movie.

[@SimplerTimesHomestead]

Great review as always! Loved the Tie-in at the end!

[@DCMarvelMultiverse]

Minty on Mondays?! You spoils us!
