I loved this movie as a kid. I still get excited when I see Cameron pop up in other roles, from time to time - like as the husband in the first ep of Bunheads (RIP).
Yes! Was so excited to see him in that role, and his character was so sweet ...then ONE episode! Come back Cameron! In a big long role.

It's timeless. We quote it all the time.
"I'm a professional."
"a professional WHAT?!?"

Ferris bueller is so much fun—the send up of the boring teacher and the power-tripping principal is so real for anyone that went to a middling public school in the suburbs. I still laugh at the principal on the bus with the kid who smells bad. And the genius contraption to fool his mom into his being sick is hilarious. As is the sister’s frustration at why her brother gets away with everything.
I imagine it’s a lot less funny if you went to private school.
Omg. 16 candles was my absolute favorite. Watched it again recently, and still thought it was hilarious.
Worst move ever and could not be made today. Jake Ryan interest in Samantha was just creepy. He would be arrested today.
I liked it when I saw it as a teen, but so many things were wrong with that movie.
Straight up racism (that Asian guy)
Implied date rape which was passed as totally fine (the nerd with Jake Ryan's passed out girlfriend)
buying a girl's underwear?

Breakfast Clun was my least favorite of the brat pack movies.

When I watched it recently, it was a okay, movie nothing to write home about comparing to average movies nowadays, I wonder what was to it that made it such a big hit. What was that special thing? The characters? The conflict? The cool parents? The coolness of the kids characters? The story? The principal? Da dog?
Was it every kid's dream? Or was it everything?
It's funny as hell. If you can't see that, I don't know what to say.
