Ferris Bueller's Day Off

If you, ya best mate and ya rather foxy girlfriend (Mia Sara) could wangle a day off school, nick off with a classic Ferrari and live THE life in Chicago...wouldn't you?!

Plot: As above. More detail? Ferris (Matthew Broderick) is a bit of a cheeky fella. He decides that rather than actually attend school and study, he's going to fake being sick and take his best mates out to the city where-in they will drive a Ferrari, dine at a swanky restaurant, dance to Twist & Shout on the main street parade (he really did this), take in the sights (Museums/Wrigley Field) and get back home, all before his folks and anyone else find out. The only problem being, he has to avoid his suspicious headmaster and his miffed older sister- Jennifer Grey (Dirty Dancing).

This film encompasses all the joy and revelry an anarchic teen could wish for.

Budget: £5,800,000

Gross: $70, 136,369

Fun Fact: Cameos come from Charlie Sheen and Kirsty Swanson. Broderick and director-John Hughes stayed in touch and talked over the possibility of a sequel set in college, but neither really fancied it.
