Ferris Bueller’s Day Off

Teenaged Ferris Bueller is a legend in his own time thanks to his uncanny skill at cutting classes and getting away with it. Intending to make one last grand duck-out before graduation, Ferris calls in sick, "borrows" a Ferrari, and embarks on a one-day bacchanal through the streets of Chicago. Writer/director John Hughes once again weds satire, slapstick, and social commentary, as Ferris Bueller's Day Off starts like a house afire and goes on to make points about status-seeking and casual parental cruelties. A modern classic.
