@4:35 Nice callback to Matthew hacking into the school’s computer in WarGames.

[@LordVolkov]

"I love her!" X2 Edie McLurg is my favorite part of Act 1. She's so adorable, whether pulling pens out of her hair, listing all the social groups, or reminding Mr Rooney about his health problems 🤣🤣🤣

[@ChicagoDB]

*Ferris Bueller’s on Line 2* 🤣🤪😂

[@Nasty-Canasta]

Ed!! You sounded like Dirty Harry just then

[@Whateva67]

She’s funny in Planes,trains and….. I forget but she’s funny

[@themoviedealers]

She's fantastic. She was a regular on Letterman's morning show.

[@dupersuper1938]

She was also great in WKRP.

[@Stefi-P]

Ferris did it all for Cameron. He held Sloane back so Cameron could continue to vent. And when it did go too far, he offered to take the blame.

[@ryanjacobson2508]

There is now a large group of Ferris haters, but it's quite obvious in some moments that he is a typical immature teen boy who doesn't really grasp the consequences of some of his actions. When the car gets wrecked it's a wake up call. Also, Ferris is impulsive and outgoing to a fault, while Cameron is anxious and reserved to a fault. Ultimately they balance each other out.

[@fosansbach]

Well, her reaction to jenny in Forrest Gump shows that she is not the brightest candle on the cake

[@Tensen01]

My friend and I always had an idea for a sequel to this done currently where Ferris ended up becoming a mindless corporate drone, and Cameron became a self-help Guru. and it ends up being the opposite where Cameron has to help Ferris rediscover his joy and reconnect with Sloan and stuff.

[@derekfnord]

That's actually brilliant. I would 100% watch that movie!

[@fs127]

@@derekfnord Can't you just watch Cobra Kai?

[@mcgilj1]

​@@fs127funny.. The creators of that series are currently writing a spin off of this film. Lol

[@ChicagoDB]

The girl on the school payphone at the 05:43 mark is my high school classmate, Kristin…it was our Senior year in Chicago…and much of the Chicago stuff was filmed near us. She had quite a memorable Senior year 👍🏻 John Hughes had originally cast actress Kristie Swanson for that part…but due to a change in the shooting schedule, my classmate got the phone scene. Hughes then wrote the “Simone” scene 03:30 to make it up to Swanson.

[@0okamino]

That’s cool. Also, Sarah Michelle Gellar (who is about 8 years younger than Swanson) would have still been too young to take over that role. 😉

[@jean-paulaudette9246]

Ben Stein had a comedic quizshow on Comedy Central called "Win Ben Stein's Money" that I had a good time with.

[@curtisberard7831]

I actually played along at home with that show. Good times. Almost as much fun as Where In World Is Carmen Sandiego game show on PBS

[@uncommon_niagara1581]

Matthew's look to camera when Emily says that Jeffery Jones plays a creep so well is one of his best.

[@mansquatch2260]

[@seanmonahan]

I like to think of Election as the sequel. Ferris grows up, becomes a high school teacher himself, and then has to pay back all of the karma he earned.

[@wiseoldman53]

I was in high school when this came out, so it's like a national treasure to my generation, and I can quote most every line, word for word. I loved your reactions to this! Also, on a side note, I just have to say that Pippin is just too adorable! I always get a kick watching him in your reactions. You guys are awesome!!

[@eatsmylifeYT]

No, you can't quote most every line, word for word. Stop trying to impress people with your lies.

[@hawkthorn33]

My personal fave fact, "Twist and shout" got back on to the top 100 music chart after this came out. (26th or 23rd as I recall.)

[@ZavaXavier]

The both by The Isley Brothers and The Beatles.

[@martinm8991]

The actors who played Feris' parents (Cindy Pickett and Lyman Ward) met on the set during filming of Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, got married and had 2 kids. So their chemistry in the movie is actually real But sadly, as usual in Hollywood - unfortunately got divorced 6 years later.

[@ZavaXavier]

Cindy Pickett one of my favorite actresses and crushes since the early 80s. Lyman Ward is one of my favorite actors they should watch him in 1991's The Taking Of Beverly Hills with Ken Wahl, Max Headroom himself Matt Frewer, Robert Davi from The Goonies, Action Jackson, Die Hard, and the late Tony Ganios from The Wanderers, the Porky's Trilogy and Die Hard 2.

[@aboynam3dblu3]

“He plays a creep so well.” No one: Not one soul: “There ain’t no playing in it.”

[@aagold76]

Matthew made his start on Broadway- one of his first roles was in Harvey Fierstein's 'Torch Song Trilogy'. When they made the movie 6 years later, Matthew was a big star, but agreed to play a role in it. In the Broadway run, he played the son, in the film, he played the boyfriend. A good film from a great (Best Play Tony) play- check it out- also includes Anne Bancroft.

[@Postscriptom]

The school was John Hughes real school, and he declared he was (of course) more Cameron than Ferris...

[@xxxx-1994]

I had a friend just like Ferris. We went to Chicago and ended up in the middle of the St. Patrick's day parade. We actually got the crowd singing Twist and Shout on a float.

[@OneThousandHomoDJs]

2024 audiences wouldn't understand, but borrowing Dad's car was a standard 80s teen comedy trope. It was basically the riskiest thing that high school kids could do.

[@beastialmoon2327]

This is my dad's favorite movie. The only other movie I can say he might like more is Ridgemont High. I have a lot of fond memories watching this when I had a day off from school myself because I was sick, or for some other reason. Watching it again, now, as an adult I find myself just utterly delighted by Emily finding joy in different aspects of the film I had long since stopped laughing at.

[@AlexandriPatris]

The house I grew up in had a dog door in the back, but I couldn't get more than my arm and shoulder through it. However, there were few times that I got locked out and was able to use a putter to flip the deadbolt to get in.

[@queenb3atrix]

My first celebrity crush was on Matthew Broderick from this movie!!! Well, technically it was on the animated fox Robin Hood, but first HUMAN movie crush is right here lol

[@williamjones6031]

1. Alan Ruck was 29 when filming. 2. Charlie Sheen didn't sleep for 48 hours prior to his scene to get into character, 3. Ah, the days when MTV played videos. 4. IRL Broadrick and Grey had a thing going during the shoot. 5. Not pealing out in front of Rooney would have stopped him from going after Ferris. 6. They have a doggie door, odds are they have a dog. DA 7. This was John Hughes' ode to his hometown of Chicago. 😇John Hughes. 8. I'm not in line to be his "best friend" because I wouldn't let him walk all over and/or Bull$hit me. 9. GOOF: It's awfully late in the day to have a full bus load of kids. 10. That same school was also used for "Uncle Buck" and "The Breakfast Club".

[@0okamino]

Worth noting that both Broderick and Grey were also in their 20s at the time. Mia Sara was the only actual teenager in the main cast.

[@williamjones6031]

@@0okamino They were concerned about Ruck's age as a high school kid.

[@AngelGroves]

17:23 Ditto, Emily! As always, so many comments you made throughout this movie show just how much of a kindred spirit you are. Great reaction, you three! 💜🩵💛

[@tanalee837]

"...so are you rooting for Rooney at this point?" 😂😂😂

[@coolrottie2565]

Ferris learned his computer skills when he was at school in Seattle playing games with Joshua.

[@ShortyLongstrokin]

About Rooney: "He's not coming from a place of wanting to do what's best for kids." "He's got an obsession." Speaking of having an obsession with kids...

[@DannyCheek]

I never noticed it until now,Cameron's bed is kind of shaped like a coffin when Ferris calls him on the phone the first time. I know that has to be symbolic of Cameron's head-space("Dead Inside").

[@ChefPatrickChase]

i stayed at the Chicago Sofitel and had a 20th floor room. i did the leaning against the glass thing in the room

[@freudsigmund72]

Cameron is my favourite in this movie,... and the actor playing him, Alan Ruck, played Stuart Bondek in the sitcom Spin city.... where that role might as well been Cameron in his adult life after changing his name...

[@awezman]

Other than Strength, I can’t decide what his dump stats would even be.

[@chris...9497]

I have watched this film dozens of times, in full form on TV and in numerous reactions... and this is the first time I've noticed Cameron is wearing suspenders with a belt. It's a commentary on how brittle and insecure a person he is. And walking around Chicago, anyone catch that Cameron is wearing a Philidelphia Flyers shirt instead of a Chicago Black Hawks shirt? Oh, and I first saw this in the theater. Made the after-credit engagement (in the striped robe) all the more meaningful. Have to impart my own high school experience. I got a boyfriend in my sophomore year, in October. During Christmas, I was helping my dad stuff signed cards into envelopes to send folks, and I kept a card for my own use. School was broken up into 6wk grading periods; 3 absences during a grading period meant a phone call from the school. Absences required a signed note from the parent to explain the absence and request it be excused. I would make the note and forge my dad's signature. I would skip school on a day with no tests and never in the same week I had a legitimate absence. I'd take the bus to school and walk the mile to my boyfriend's house, arriving after his parents had left for work and his sibling had gone to school. Mornings 'in his room', then afternoons at his college. Then the transit bus back to the mall and walk the half-mile home, arriving at my usual time. One day, instead of the college, we went into the city; that was a fun day! So, this film is nostalgia to me, even though my era was in the late 1960s.

[@djyanno]

I remember watching this movie back then. I was 11 wishing I would turn up look Ferris only to end up like Cameron!!!

[@commanderkruge]

Sweet. And Yello rocks, they've been one of my favourite bands since before "Oh Yeah" and definitely the single coolest thing to come from Switzerland. :) Their mixture of Electro and Latin American elements is legendary. :) They're on youtube as well and of course also the official "Oh Yeah". Beautiful.

[@prs149]

We saw this opening day, I was almost 22yrs old,Now I’m 2wks from turning 60

[@richiecabral3602]

This didn't come up in the post movie discussion, but one of the cultural influences of this movie that I always thought was funny, is that in the 90s, there was a Ska Punk band named Save Ferris. I don't even know any of their music. I just think it's funny that they named themselves that.

[@Blazingstoke]

4:51 "Something's not right. He _hates_ freestyle jazz..."

[@scottjones758]

Sitting in Ferrari is a look into him being Inspector Gadget!

[@Sebuin]

I'm a Cameron but inside I want to be a Ferris so I find I thrive with a Ferris friend to let me get wild sometimes but then go back to some sort of sensibility. We all need a Ferris friend. Unfortunately Ferris friends tend to move on to the things you find unsensible. So I've had several in my life.

[@PirataMundoTV]

[@peachbottomblues9944]

One other improvement to the movie would’ve been the decapitation of Ferris by Cameron’s father - his head being shipped to Rooney’s desk.

[@Michael75579]

Of the 4 John Hughes movies mentioned, I'd put them in a completely different order to both Matthew and Emily - Ferris Bueller first, then Breakfast Club, then Planes, Trains, ..., then Uncle Buck.

[@ravenpoe7093]

Someone probably already mentioned this but there was a very short lived tv show Ferris Bueller. Jennifer Aniston played Jeannie. Charlie Schlater played Ferris. It only had 13 episodes tho so barely a full season

[@theinvestigativemillennial9381]

Lol is it unusual that I keep thinking of Simba From the Lion King doing all of Ferris Bueller's lines (Matthew voiced adult Simba)

[@Serai3]

A Hughes film that doesn't get much attention but which I think is one of his best is "She's Having a Baby." Kevin Bacon, Elizabeth McGovern, and Alec Baldwin. Great script, wonderful performances, and as always a killer soundtrack. (Kate Bush's song "This Woman's Work" was written for this film, completely heartbreaking in its intended setting.)

[@mcgilj1]

I don't know if anyone's mentioned it.. But a spin off is currently being written from the creators of "Cobra Kai" (and the "Harold and Kumar" films) called "Sam and Victor's Day Off" and tells the story perspective of the two valet drivers who steal the Ferrari.

[@MrDman21]

That cat cracks me up 😂

[@davidsp5936]

FUN FACT: The reason most John Hughes movies are made/set in the Chicagoland Area is because it's the biggest metro area in America without studio executives in it. So, they get relatively little executive meddling.😊

[@AsylumSaint]

Absolutely has nothing to do with it. Hughes grew up in Chicago so thats why his movies are set there. As for studio execs, you think they are going to give someone millions of dollars to make a movie and not know whats going because the shooting location is outside of Los Angeles? If that were the case no one would film in LA.

[@Wells306]

@@AsylumSaint Yep- the high school in this movie is the same exact school filmed in the Breakfast Club

Ah yes, before they had phones, fax, or email in Chicago and Chicago was disconnected from Los Angeles so greatly that an executive could only communicate by pony expresss. What is wrong with you.

Just SUMM Reactions , Matthew, Nobody noticed this but me.
