Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986)

My favourite John Hughes film and maybe my favourite teen film of all time. it is simply impossible not me charmed by this film and by a young Matthew Broderick, The film is hilarious and so full of charisma but its also a touching film about friendship with some truly tear jerking scenes. The entire cast is perfection and have truly great chemistry with each other especially our three main characters who are probably one of the best trios in film history. This is just a masterpiece.

Matthew Broderick looked so brilliant in those days. While this film single handedly made him Ferris Bueller forever, at least this is a film that can be seen all throughout the years without dating too badly. Sure, the music and props will signify a time of discontent and bad hairdos, but the idealistic look of a man simply wanting to ditch school has never been made more daringly and charmingly.

Everything about this film was gold, from the postmodern "conversations" with the audience to the little back stories which seem to shape the overall canvas of the film. While Alan Ruck was way too old to play in this movie, at least he proved to be a great opposite to the cool and nonchalant Ferris. Gross-out comedies may now be the norm, at least we can look back to this film and enjoy a good, genuine laugh.
