Throughout the 80s, there were few filmmakers on a streak quite like John Hughes. His name is attached to what feels like all the biggest comedies of the era, from The Breakfast Club toPlanes, Trains, and Automobiles, Uncle Buck, and Home Alone among many more. One particular day off that he crafted still sticks in everyone’s minds, however, for its many iconic lines and the feeling of freedom it invokes. Now, Paramount Home Entertainment is giving Ferris Bueller’s Day Off the 4K treatment with a new release that has all the content needed to fill a day off of work or school.
Written and directed by Hughes, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off follows the now-iconic Ferris Bueller (Matthew Broderick), a high school slacker who ditches class along with his best friend Cameron (Alan Ruck) and girlfriend Sloane (Mia Sara) for the greatest day off ever put to film. The trio take Cameron’s father’s Ferrari for a joyride through Chicago, leaving behind all responsibility as they get up to an unbelievable day all while staying out of sight of anyone who might recognize them. Part of what made it an enduring classic was the constant fourth wall-shattering commentary from Ferris as he explained the techniques he perfected to get out of class and projected his thoughts to the audience, letting viewers in on the absolutely chaotic ride as it unfolds. So beloved and important the film is within cinema history that it was officially added to the Library of Congress’s National Film Registry in 2014.
