Ferris Bueller is a shallow little Reagan Youth snot. If he were an actual human, he likely would’ve been one of the players behind the Great Recession. Selfish, capitalist twat who thought he was above the law. The Nurse Who Likes to Fuck probably has more depth than Ferris.
Cameron is the true hero of Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. He’s really the only character with an arc. Unfortunately, it’s not a great one—commits grand theft auto and willful destruction of property and thinks it gives him a right to gripe to his father about not being loved, when, by all appearances, dad has set him and his family up quite well—but he’s portrayed with enough pathos that I can somewhat root for him.
Teen movie? How about Over the Edge. First time I heard Van Halen and allegedly influenced the video for smells like teen spirit.
Underrated and overlooked movie.
It has not aged very well, but that movie had a big impact on me. It was played a lot on HBO when cable TV arrived in our home.
Same here, remember watching it repeatedly on The Movie Channel when I was a kid.
Hearing Surrender and You Really Got Me always takes me back to that time. That film probably contributed to some early marijuana use and teen defiance in our house!

Did you see it in the cinema?
my small self... like a book amongst the many on a shelf
Someone tell OffSheGoes those two movies were really good back in the day when we didn't know any better, but haven't aged well.
Typically speaking, 80s movies were pretty goofy despite several dramas that encompassed the social climate very well (movies like Revenge of the Nerds... Back to School... or Zapped).

Someone ask thirty what was the last movie that almost made him cry.
He called me a buffoon, just like he calls Trump a buffoon. Do you think he would watch a romantic comedy with Donald Trump? Even if it is one of the top three romantic comedies of all time.

Hey I never called ‘you’ a buffoon. I tongue in cheek called ‘everybody’ buffoons who didn’t catch the ‘Is it safe’ reference from Marathon Man (in light of the dentist scene that Hedo brought up from that very movie).
I’m actually a weeping fool during some movies. My kids used to spin around and look at me anytime things got emotional in movies we were watching together.
Off the top of my head... The Judge and Big Fish had me welling up.

Not only is this a bad interview, but you can also see what it's like to have Alice in Wonderland Syndrome. Enjoy!
You're half a man.

So there.
C'mon Hobbes. Admit it! Don't give me that "only Brian's Song" bullshit.
The Prince episode of black-ish devastated me as well.
