John Hughes really made a genre of film that will never be repeated

[@esantiago837]

Dialogs don't exist in movies these days. Just a bunch of visual effects and background music

[@nm9414]

I don’t know how old you are, but you sir possess one of the most extensive vocabularies I’ve ever encountered. As a word-nerd I am heartily impressed 😊

[@A.Light33]

Yes I take notes while watching his reactions. So many words I don't know. Le sigh. Shameful.

What a treat to stumble into a reactor that actually seems to have a brain. Good on ya, my man! I saw this in the theater. I was in the Navy at the time, went with a bunch of -inmates- shipmates. We were dyin'. Ferris had THE day off, one that will NEVER be beaten!

[@laurenherda2415]

You cant go wrong with John Hughes, Weird Science, Uncle Buck, Pretty In Pink, Sixteen Candles

[@MrValentineReacts]

I love the way he tells a story; I'm going to watch em all!

[@emilykeegan4345]

You definitely can't go wrong with uncle buck ❤❤

[@BDogg2023]

Weird Science is my fav. Never liked the ending of Pretty In Pink, or the dysfunction in Sixteen Candles.

[@tempsitch5632]

No interest in ever seeing Pretty In Pink, Weird Science or 16 Candles ever again. They don’t hold up.

[@stevelafarga3296]

Did you already react to planes trains and automobiles?

[@thatdamelana]

The car had 126 miles on the odometer and ended at 301.7 miles. The parking attendants drove approximately 175 miles.

[@rodcaseracing3376]

Probabaly running 6500 rpms burning the tires adding alot of miles in a short amount of time..

[@vorlon1]

Nice job with the "shaken, not stirred," line, James. 😎

[@chrisdixon5193]

Dude, you are super smart. You picked up all the nuances of this film on the first viewing. It's taken me decades to get it.

[@hollywhite7449]

I saw this when I was in high school at the theater. Watching with you was like seeing it again for the first time. I love your insights!

[@claireallen4017]

1. Choice mug 2. I don’t know if I’ve heard anyone else say hoot and a half and it makes me happy to hear it. 3. I feel like you would appreciate the movie War Games. It’s Broderick playing a similar character but in a setting imminent danger.

[@MrValentineReacts]

1. real recognize real! 2. I heard it in a movie some time ago and it just implanted itself in my brain 3. War Games; will do! much obliged

[@ShaneH5150]

Of the many great films he has made, Uncle Buck is definitely worth considering

[@frogofbrass382]

A good follow up to this is the movie "Election," also starring Matthew Broderick, but this time as the school authority figure.

[@Bobal27]

34:37 It’s not your math. The last digit of odometers like that one is white, instead of black, to symbolize (fixing an autocorrect fail) the missing decimal point. It’s now gone 300 miles and change, not 3000.

[@orangeandblackattack]

Generation gap. cars today of course dont have them digitally like we did in analog. lol

[@MoMoMyPup10]

In other words, tenths of a mile. And some still do on the Trip mileage

[@cp368productions2]

4:14 the drawing a story tree in the air almost made me fall off the couch.

[@KazyReed]

Fun trivia: Mia Sara, who played Sloan, is now married to Brian Henson, the son of Muppets' creator Jim Henson.

[@tobilinooo]

You can really feel how time flies with movies like this. For us today, the song 'Twist and Shout' by the Beatles is 61 years old. When Broderick included it in the movie (filming took place in 1985), the premiere of the song was only 22 years ago and John Lennon had been dead for almost 5 years. It's as if we were listening to 'Marmalade' by Christina Aguilera today.

[@orangeandblackattack]

I would stick an icepick in my ear if I was forced to listen to her. No talent hack. lol

[@vincentvancraig]

Its prob been said by now, but part of the awesomwness of this film, that goofy serendipity, is that the story is told from the point of view of the word of mouth spreaders of the legend of ferris bueller, either by ferris himself, or by the myth making of the student body....so, thus, the story/narrative of the movie is almost told thru the eyes, again, of either ferris or the student body the next day, after the fact, thru the all the gossip, exaggeration & all, the tall tales, the legend...also, its kind of like the children's game, where u whisper in a sentence in the oerson sitting next to you's ear and the sentence goes around the big cirlce of kids, & what the end result the sentnce after being passed around is a bit different than what it was at the beginning....so, if u see this film again remember that paradigm, & the silly/goofy becomes somehow more real & kinda epic. Its a genius film, it was really huge in the 80's.

[@dedcowbowee]

Weird Science would be a good next step.👍👍

[@caesarvolz6945]

This guy never fails to use a big word where a small one would suffice.

[@MrValentineReacts]

😏 'big word' ; that expression tickles me pink!

[@caesarvolz6945]

@@MrValentineReacts I would've thought you would be tickled more of a salmon hue.

[@MoMoMyPup10]

Sixteen Candles is another 80's doozy by Hughes. He's brilliant in this genre and the writing is another level every time.

[@charlescallen460]

“I like how that acts as a catalyst for his maturation!” That’s not putting on a show. That’s real intellect 🙂💯

[@MrValentineReacts]

Remarkably grateful you watched with me!

[@orangeandblackattack]

4 of us skipped school to go to a Chicago Cubs ballgame as juniors. We picked up 2 cases of beer and other party favors including something that has a soda name lol..got pulled over coming home on the south side of Chicago and the cop didnt even care about the beer cans..he said youre in a bad neighborhood..get going back to Indiana before something bad happens. lmao. We had a blast. All of our parents wrote notes too. They thought it was a good idea to see the Cubs in a year they went to playoffs. lol The 80s were a glorious time for growing up!

[@torbnymublous4403]

Did you notice Ferris' best friend was the only person that could tell him no? The only 1 who could as he put it stop Ferris beuller. He recognized that he needed that in his life. Cameron didn't need him he was super wealthy family and seemed to be good student. Except Cameron did need him to touch the real world. You could see alot of this dynamic in the 80's. It was a time where we asked who are we and why are we here. We don't see alot of that today everyone believes they know everything. As far as john Hughes films mine is weird science. I was also a geek and a nerd so it stands to reason. However it's his creation of the brat pack that really expanded these ideas. So when you move to the following of actors that's where we get the crossovers. With films like war games & project x. We let our youth speak because they let their elders speak as well. There's no dialog today only shouting 😂how did I get here? I'm stopping this before I rant.

[@MrValentineReacts]

they had a very symbiotic relationship; thank you for your insight and thought provoking musings. I will give Weird Science a go!

[@torbnymublous4403]

@MrValentineReacts thanks I ran out months ago. I'm going to try to break last year's record of million minutes of viewing. Just finished this week's family guy reactions and a new baby driver👈that gets triple watches. I love the 😲 👈🤣 it's the same look I get from kickass 2010 but on 4 wheels

[@tempsitch5632]

I have an original theater poster for coffee and cigarettes and about 6- 7 years ago I ran into that parking lot attendant (he’s in tonnes of flicks) at the los angeles public library and had a brief chat with him. He was cool. Long white hair.

[@BeeWhistler]

This movie and Some Kind of Wonderful are my favorite John Hughes movies.And no, I never faked being sick to get out of school. I faked being asleep once in kindergarten because I was actually pretty sleepy. But I didn't need to fake being sick because in middle school when the bullying was constant I was so stressed out that I just kept getting sick. The movie I think of as the beginning of it all would be Sixteen Candles. But that one's... complicated...

[@timhotep2112]

Just an FYI, cloth diapers made great rags for cleaning cars with.

[@michaelcoffey1991]

@MR Valentine, hope you see all his work, to me you have seen his three best now with Ferris, Breakfast Club and Planes Trains automobiles. John Hughes a life long Midwestern guy wrote us wrote for us and told stories with great heart, seek out them all but I adore Uncle Buck. Looking forward to you seeing all the classics from old til now. I know your going to seek out all the Star Wars films, hope you do the same with Star Trek. Was fun to see you watch a film so many of us grew up with and adore

[@4MINGTHOUGHTS]

Sixteen Candles is a great watch. Can't Hardly Wait is a deeper character development movie. Both movies are a must see.

[@orangeandblackattack]

Sears Tower in Chicago was the tallest building in the world until the building in Malaysia and World Trade Center were built later.

[@GershomSeventyEight]

I love this movie!!! Fabulous 80's film! Great review!

[@jeanb.5405]

"With a Diaper? Because that is his baby"? I never thought of that - No - Baby diapers were made of cloth in those days and they are thick and perfect for waxing a car and other houshold chores like cleaning silver and stuff. We had disposables but they were not the first choice of most moms then.

[@Casper50002]

This movie is about teenage freedom, maybe not only for teenagers but older people too. Probably many teenage freedom movies out there. I think "Don't Tell Mom the Babysitters Dead" is another one

[@medieval420]

Ferris is an ENTP, Cameron is an INTP, and Principal Rooney is an ESTJ. The sister is also an ESTJ, Sloane is an ISFP. These are just four of the 16 MBTI personalities. If you're thirsty for some knowledge, look into the 16 Personalities, take a deep rabbit hole dive, there's a lot to disec.

[@anamewhichisnottaken]

Also, the parking garage attendant is Richard Edson, the original drummer for Sonic Youth.

[@allenruss2976]

Weird Science is a great John Hughes movie. Funny as hell. Curly Sue is a cute one that flies under the radar

[@trekkiexb5]

I NEVER faked sickness and missed school. However, I did "skip" classes to edit the school's newspaper.

New sub here, and I'm in love with your reviews and with you! Keep it up. Bc I just binged watched your videos like it was a Netflix series, lol. Ty!

[@janethernandez724]

I knew you would enjoy this movie and I am glad you made it to the very end of credits and post credit footage! John Hughes Movies: Sixteen Candles with Molly Ringwald and Anthony Michael Hall again, that movie came out before they both starred in Breakfast Club, Weird Science, 'She's Having a Baby,' Planes, Trains and Automobiles" The next one might interest you, Pretty in Pink has Molly Ringwald in it, a young John Cryer (You see him in 2 1/2 Men) but this was directed by Howard Deutch and I enjoyed John Cryer's character in that movie. I enjoyed your reaction! Peace. ☮

[@MrValentineReacts]

Molly and Anthony were a revelation! interested to see how they mesh again. godspeed 🤙🏽

[@C_Los808]

Nice reaction. Grew up watching John Hughes and all of his films are great but Sixteen Candles is the one of my favorites. Hope to see your reaction.

First time watching your reactions..very well done young man... I thoroughly enjoyed your commentary and the references to other movies as well to historic knowledge... today's language has devolved into a mismash of slang with little to appreciate...so brovo !... When this movie came out my son..15 at the time..was visiting with his uncle so I went to see it alone... I so enjoyed it I immediately picked him up to see it... appropriate ?..maybe..maybe not..but I thought it was a great ride and wanted him to enjoy it too... I'll be checking out your playlists...hope to be as impressed by what I find... 🌿🌿🌿

me and my grandfather watched that many a time as a kid! it'll be interesting to revisit it as an adult

[@opalviking]

I love the theory that the whole movie is a fever dream of Cameron’s. Ferris is Cam’s idea of the ultimate ‘cool dude’ and everything Cam wishes he was. And by movie’s end (and the fever breaks), he’s ready to face his fears.

[@MrValentineReacts]

yowza! that hypothesis has piquancy

Good eye, brother. Few notice the fantastic cinematography in this one, by Tak Fujimoto, the naturalistic genius behind many Jonathan Demme classics and THE SIXTH SENSE.

There are quite a few are good ones by John Hughes. Top of the list for me is Uncle Buck & Weird Science.

I was 12 when this came out so it was right up my alley.

[@linkcurry5235]

When I think of the 80s, I think of ST. ELMO'S FIRE and BREAKFAST CLUB. Everybody seems to react to BC but not ST. ELMO'S. I never understood why. It is the epitome of 80s movies. BC is about High School and ELMO'S is about after college. It is in my top favorite movies of all time. Please react to ST. ELMO'S FIRE **Note: It does have a lot of the bratpack in it**

[@MoMoMyPup10]

The odometer read "301.7 not 3,017, so they did 175 miles or so.

[@tempsitch5632]

The Last Shot is a good one too. Not a great execution but a good concept movie within movies thing.

[@orangeandblackattack]

no dude. that last digit on the odometer is tenths of a mile. They drove it 180 miles which is totally possible at the speeds they were at for a couple of hours. Odometers used to always have the tenths like 301.7 not 3017

[@amurmurmur609]

I hope that you have never seen The Blues Brothers. If/when you ever react to it, not only would you love it, but you would get the subtle reference in the Parade Scene in Ferris Bueller to that movie.

Love hearing a younger generation person with intelligence and a vocabulary beyond video game references and bruh. Maybe there is hope for the future. Ferris often comes across as a Machiavellian protagonist and there's some truth to that, however that whole day he orchestrated tonin essence save a suicidal Camerons life. An art museum, fancy restaurant, high rise, a parade, "most" teens wouldn't be doing the sights of some substance. His sister took the wrong angle. She's the sister of the most popular kid in the universe, use it! Some say ferris peaks in high school till the bigger world of college. I don't think so. Ferris has the most important thing anyone can have, confidence in himself. He can be dropped anywhere and do fine. What will ferris do in the future? President.

[@terryconnelly484]

So how did Ferris connect from his home computer to the pc in the school office in 1986? We had In school Connections Connected to the main frame but never internet or any modem of any type back then

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".
