    "Oh, he's very popular Ed. The sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, wastoids, dweebies, dickheads - they all adore him. They think he's a righteous dude."

    I have seen this film more times than I can count and I still do not understand the age difference between ferris and jeannie??? I always assumed that jeannie was older but then how are they both in high school??? ferris is leaving school next year so there's no way that…

    i genuinely don’t believe there’s any moment in film history funnier than when mrs bueller says “he’s truly a very sick boy” and then it suddenly cuts to ferris just going DLDLDLDOOooOOoOOO on his flute

    Ferris Bueller's Day Off

    THE BEST FILM OF ALL TIME. For me no film matches this. It has a fun feel to it while also implying the message that ‘life moves pretty fast, if you don’t stop and look around once in a while you could miss it’

It's basically a mindless paean to goofing off, with interludes of dubious seriousness. [16 June 1986]
