Ferris Bueller’s Day Off is the quintessential American coming of age comedy film. I grew up watching this movie, I though Ferris was a stud, I wanted Sloane’s hair, and I wanted Cameron’s father’s car. I loved his carefree attitude and his entire air of coolness without trying. Listening to these songs make me very reminsicent for the 80s. This is truly one of the greatest comedies of all time, if you haven’t seen it go watch it right now.
PS: How amazing do Ferris and Sloan look in this shot?
