Ferris Bueller's Day Off is a teenage love letter to summer that feels as relatable to us as middle-aged men in 2024 as it did when we were kids in 1986. The quintessential Chicago movie, Ferris's whip-smart writing and gorgeous cinematography elevate it above the sea of 80s teen comedies and ensure it's place as a classic that'll be discussed for years to come. Save Ferris!
