    Most of John Hughes’s films are iconic. I think the combination of characters sell the movie, but Matthew Broderick makes it believable.

  2. Mark PAGAN says:

    What makes “Ferris” a classic? It wonderfully stands up to repeat viewing, with timeless themes and delicious quotes; “it is so choice. If you have the means, I highly recommend picking (it) up.”

  3. Adam VanHandel says:

    I feel like it’s the music that makes the movie feel as iconic as it is. Everyone knows that trademark theme that plays throughout the film, but also the uses of The Beatles and Wayne Newton. This is one of the many things that makes the movie stick in our memories. @TripperEuphoric

  4. Though the purists will disagree with me, I think the “classic movie era” definition has to continually move. There was a time when people would have said then only silent film should be considered classics. Or only films made before 1945. I think a classic movie is defined by its ongoing reputation and influence. This film absolutely qualifies. Plus it was shot just down the street from where I lived and it will be fun to see it again!

    I have never seen Ferris Bueller but would like to see it to understand why it is a classic. All i have seen is the Ben Stein scene from clips. I noticed one of my favorites Cindy Picket is in it and it gets such high ratings maybe it’s about time i see it.

  6. tracy sharpe says:

    ferris bueller is one of those movies that makes you feel like a teenager again. everyone has their rebellious side, and ferris took that to a whole other level. breaking rules, ditching school, singing in a parade on a float, what could be more crazy than that! ive seen ferris bueller so many times. its just a feel good movie. everyone has a friend who blames their friend for something that happend years ago, If you dont show up in five minutes, you can find a new best friend! thanks cameron! the connection ferris and cameron have is very typical for high school students. who wouldnt want to fake being sick with a fever just to ditch school for the day! ferris teaches teenagers how to get away with trouble. he plots everything out so carefully! its so the point where his own parents are clueless as to whats going on!

  7. Miguel A says:

    I think it is classic for me, because everyone knows it, loves it, and watches it anytime its on cable. And to see it on the big screen, would mean so much to me. Simply because I am an 80’s baby, haha. Thanks for the chance @ClassicMovieHub 🙂 (@mikeymutilator)

  8. Sara Stewart says:

    It may not be a classic in the traditional sense, but Ferris Bueller’s Day Off is a movie that can be watched over and over, without losing it’s awesomeness. Kids in the 80’s were lucky to have this modern day “musical” , I actually like it better than Grease.

  9. Thomas says:

    Are you kidding me. Ferris Bueller is a righteous Dude!

  10. chris says:

    I think it was a classic because it has the classic principal that has a vendetta against a regular student trying to target him for skipping school and breaking the law himself to do so can’t get much more classic than that

  11. Daniel Gushard says:

    Sometimes, you just need to take a day off. John Hughes’ love letter to Chicago is the ultimate teen fantasy movie and Matthew Broderick perfectly embodies Ferris. Hughes had his finger on the pulse of the ’80s and it shows in all of his “classic” movies.
    “SAVE FERRIS!!!”

    Good quality story, acting, all around well done family film makes it a classic.
