Ferris Bueller's Day Off

A big 'OOPS' on my part - in my little tribute to the late John Hughes, I forgot to mention one of my absolute favourite movies of all time; Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

I have to give John Hughes a big truckload of respect for that film, as that movie is just so much fun. I don't think my life would be the same without it. Seriously. It is right up there with The Last Starfighter in terms of 'movies that define my childhood and subsequent years in my 20's when I was rediscovering my childhood because there is something disturbing in my brain'

If you haven't seen it, I can only imagine you are not my friend and you will be watching it in the next 24 hours. If you have seen it and don't enjoy it, I can only imagine you have no soul and were sent by the devil himself to make life miserable for others.

For everyone else, let's just watch some highlights and remember the talent that John Hughes had for giving us all some genuine good times in the 80's

You will be pleased to know that not only am I intimately acquainted with the film, and a resident in an apartment that possesses the DVD, but I also grew up reading the book (which I imagine must have been one of the earlier film book editions - in fact, was there even a book to begin with or did they write the book based on the movie to cash-in? whichever way, it was the film edition).
