Ferris Bueller's Day Off

Great product! Fast shipping!!

A friend of mine introduced me to this movie and it is so funny I loved it I had to buy it I would definitely recommend watching it

This is an eighties classic that has aged well. Still hysterical, excellent performances by Broderick and Gray, as well as supporting cast. Very funny cameo by Charlie Sheen. We always enjoy this one.

One of the best movies of the 80s and looks great in 4K!

Love this movie!

Love this move

As several here have noted, there are flaws in this Special Edition of "Ferris Bueller" (the not-included John Hughes commentary track, lack of participation in the anniversary documentary by several of the cast, most notably Mia Sara, some missing deleted scenes and outtakes, and the theatrical trailer), but all this having been said, of the editions available to own, at present, "Ferris Bueller's Day Off Bueller...Bueller... Edition (Special Collector's Edition)" is, to me, the best choice. The price is incredibly reasonable, the bonus material that IS offered is fun, and if you want something to enjoy until the 'ultimate' one appears, I don't think you'll do better, truthfully! John Hughes was our generation's Preston Sturges; a brilliantly gifted screenwriter who revealed, as a director, a unique, original vision in a handful of film classics, then burned out, tragically, gradually fading from the scene. Where Sturges specialized in likable, working class characters in escalating, awkward situations, Hughes was the voice of the young, revealing their maturity, as well as angst, in a series of wonderful comedies set at key moments of their lives...and "Ferris Bueller" is one of the best. As portrayed by the perfectly-cast Matthew Broderick, in his breakthrough role, Bueller is the archetypical likable high school 'user', smarter than the rest of the world, but guileless, willing to share his 'grand vision' with those he cares about. Just a tad less gifted is his jealous younger sister (Jennifer Grey), who never seems to get the 'breaks' he enjoys, and, of course, the nemesis is the authority figure, the vice principal (Jeffrey Jones), furious that Bueller so effortlessly can twist the rules his way! The film splits into plotlines involving each character, as Bueller and his best friends (Mia Sara and Alan Ruck) enjoy the ultimate 'skip' day, his sister attempts to 'out' him to the parents, meeting bad boy Charlie Sheen in the process, and Jones, intending to publicly punish him, is inflicted with a never-ending series of slapstick disasters. Each storyline is very funny, and the end result is one of the best films of the 1980s! I hope the 'ultimate' Bueller film is made, someday, but until then, this edition is quite nice in my collection!

As expected

"Ferris macht Blau" heißt im Original "Ferris Buellers Day Off" und entstand 1986 unter der Regie von John Hughes. Bei seinem Kinostart war der Teeniefilm sehr erfolgreich und landete sogar im Jahresranking der erfolgreichsten Kinofilme auf Platz 10. Darüberhinaus gelang es diesem sehr warmherzigen Coming of Age Filme sehr schnell zu einem absoluten Kultfilm zu avancieren. Der Film hat viel Humor und genauso viel Tiefgang. Im Grunde ist diese Highschool-Comedy eine gut funktionierende Selbstmordprävention, denn der Held der Geschichte - Ferris Bueller - versucht seinem Freund zu helfen, notwendiges Selbstwertgefühl zu erlangen. Ferris wird gespielt von Matthew Broderick (bekannt aus War Games). Dieser Ferris hat es sich zur Aufgabe gemacht Cameron zu zeigen, dass die ganze Welt vor ihm an ihm vorbeizieht, wenn er weiterhin Angst davor hat. Cameron wird von Alan Ruck gespielt. Die dritte Haupfigur der Geschichte ist Freundin Sloane Peterson, die er mit viel List und Tricks vom Unterricht befreien kann. Gegenspieler von Ferris ist einerseits der despotische Schuldirektor Ed Rooney (Jeffrey Jones) und Ferris eigene eifersüchtige Schwester Jeanie (Jennifer Grey). Ferris lebt bei seinen Eltern (Cindi Pickett, Lyman Ward) in einem Vorort von Chicago. Der Junge ist vermutlich der beliebteste Schüler überhaupt, jedermann scheint ihn zu kennen und extrem zu mögen. Ferris liebt das Leben und obwohl er einen Monat vor dem Schulabschluß steht und lernen müsste, hat er heute beschlossen der Schule fernzubleiben. Er täuscht seinen Eltern eine Krankheit vor und sein Plan funktioniert, weil Vater und Mutter ihm glauben Schenken. Er solle bloß im Bett liegen bleiben, sich auskurieren bis beide gegen Abend von der Arbeit zurückkommen. Der Schuldirektor Ed Rooney misstraut Ferris, denn der Junge hat in diesem Schuljahr schon 9 Tage wegen angeblicher Krankheit gefehlt. Er sieht es als seine heilige Mission an den Schulschwänzer an diesem Tag zu entlarven, so dass dieser ein Jahr wiederholen müsste. Doch Ferris wäre nicht Ferris, wenn er nicht einen zündenden Plan in der Tasche hätte und nicht alle unvorhersehbaren Komplikationen mit eingeplant hätte. Die Eltern sind aus dem Haus und schon wird sein bester Freund Cameron angerufen, damit der so schnell wie möglich vorbei kommen soll. Cameron ist hypochondrisch und leidet darunter, dass sich seine Eltern (besonders sein Dad) nicht um ihn kümmern. Ferris überredet Cameron, dass sie den 1961er Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder von Camerons Vater für den heutigen Ausflug ausleihen müssen. Natürlich muss Ferris seinem Freund hoch und heilig versprechen, dass das Auto am Abend wieder in der Garage steht, ohne das der Vater bemerkt, dass mit seinem Lieblingsobjekt herumgefahren wurde. Nun muss noch Sloane (Mia Sara) vom Unterricht befreit werden. Dies geschieht durch ein Telefonat - Cameron muss seine Stimme verstellen und sich als Sloanes Vater ausgeben. "Die Oma ist verstorben" und Sloane soll deswegen sofort nach Hause kommen. Nun gehts mit dem teuren Schlitten nach Chicago, wo die drei Teenager einen tollen Tag verbringen. Sie besuchen den Sears Tower, die Börse, ein feines französischen Restaurant, das Art Institute of Chicago Museum, ein Baseball Spiel und als Höhepunkt den deutsch-amerikanischen Steuben Umzug, der an diesem Tag in Chicago stattfindet. Währenddessen wandelt der Direktor auf den Spuren von Dirty Harry - er muss dem Schüler Ferris das Handwerk legen... Natürlich gibt es allerhand Komplikationen. Das Credo dieses schönen Films lautet: Genieße das Leben, sei froh, dass Du jung bist und hab einfach Spass. Diese Botschaft vermittelt Hughes auf eine sehr schöne unschuldige Art und am Ende des Tages hat der verbotene Ausflug vor allem bei Cameron wie ein Heilmittel gewirkt. Hughes gelang ein sehr lebensbejahender Film und sicherlich einer der großen Highlights des typischen 80er Jahre Films. Hughes scheint das Lebensgefühl der Jugendlichen in den Achtzigern perfekt getroffen zu haben: Schule schwänzen, Ärger mit Lehrern und Eltern und natürlich die Liebe gehören zu seinen Lieblingsthemen.

Great picture and sound quality. The surrounding speakers are very pronounced and the film has very little to no grain, nothing distracting. This is great for those who enjoy movies from the 80s and 90s. Jeffrey Jones is the perfect principle in this film. The Ferrari scene is good reference material for your subwoofer and surround sound speakers. Amazing quality, it’s been less than a week and watched it 4 times already.

What can be said that hasn't already been stated? Ferris Bueller's day off has been surgically attached to my brain as the ultimate 'dream' film, which houses everything we could want; romance, comedy, tension, and great acting. Just to reiterate the plot, Ferris Bueller (played by the wonderful Matthew Brodrick) is the school kid that most of us can only dream of being! Not afraid of anything and a sky-high confidence, he wakes up one morning deciding to make it a '9' on his tally of 'sickies' for bunking off school. This time though, he wants to do something different, and after putting on the acts in front of his loving and truly sweet parents (I envy them - my mum always got annoyed for some reason, but my dad would secretly take me to play football at the park!) the plan goes ahead! Accompanying him on his plan is his best friend Cameron (Alan Ruck), who plays a deep but fantastic role as the typical troubled teenager. For me, this is one of the highlights of the film. We've all been there, but emphasis is only put on puberty since the 70's, mainly because of changes in society and the way this affects us. Cameron is someone even I can relate to, and personal friends; afraid of his dad, afraid of messing up, afraid of life in general. Feris' girl-friend, Sloane, also gets in on the act when the 2 boys create a rather unique diversion, ringing the school to tell them that Sloane's grandmother suddenly passed away! And so, with them all free, they venture off into the city for an unforgettable day!... Their are 4 reasons why this ranks as one of my top feel good films of all time. Firstly, the most obvious, its been directed by John Hughes, who for the short lifespan he had directing films, was made up for by sheer quality. A moving soundtrack, excellent camera work, and fantastic script makes this one of his best - he just knows how to tap into your emotions. The second reason probably applies more now than when it was originally released, and that's that it's aged so well, and is an incredibly refreshing film when compared to todays standards of comedies, or indeed the genre of.. well, feel good, to which I can't even remember when a modern director took the time to release a family film that also has the same effect as films like this from the 80's! The Third reason is the soundtrack. As you've already read (unless you read this first, to which I'll say i'm VERY flattered!) the songs in this film are fantastic - a collection of tunes that made the 80's, and ones made purposefully for this film. The blend moments of humour (Star Wars sequence) and moments of romance, to that incredibly smooth "Ooooo yeeeah" vocalled song. Apologies for the poor description - thats one of those songs we all know, but can't place the title! It's a shame no CD was released for this soundtrack, but I keep looking anyway. The fourth and most important reason I love this film is because, like most of the other reviewers here, it's something we've always wanted to do, but never had the guts too. I personally look back at School and wish I had of took more risks, made better decisions, but like Cameron in this film, I fell for the 'worry' syndrome that plagued me for years. Even my mates would bunk and fill me in on how amazing it was. The furthest I got was going to the park during school with friends and drinking cheap French lager during the hot summers... tut tut! I personally find this film more moving than anything. Like I said, it's based around a dream that we all want - the excitement, the adventure, the suspense of not being caught, the romance of being their with your girlfriend (to which I fancied Ferris' girlfriend for many years!) and best friend. My favourite moment is when they visit the art gallery, and the lovely romantic music blends in, to which the scene ends on Ferris and Sloane kissing in the dark. I personally find that part incredibly touching - childhood sweethearts having the time of their lives :) If you haven't seen this film, then its simply a MUST if you love feel good films from the 80's, but still containing great humour and youth. I would say its for the 'older' family (ie not kiddies) because younger kids won't appreciate what's going, and what's involved. I just love this film... what more can I say? I'll never say its right that someone should bunk off school. But I learnt the hard way that you only regret 'one' thing in life, and thats the risks you never took. To which, if I could turn back time, I would have skipped most of my pointless 'P.S.E' lessons (to which were told time and time and time over why ethnic minorities are so wonderful....) and just been brave enough to break away from worry. Ferris Bueller is only a light hearted film, but in anyone who watches it, it'll tap into that parts of them that can only wish. That's what John Hughes does best! P.S If you like his films, you're probably no doubt aware of the brilliance of 'Planes, Trains and Automobiles', which is a wonderful film.

Un film divertente, senza mai un calo nel ritmo, con personaggi memorabili (in particolare Cameron, migliore amico di Ferris, pieno di complessi ed insicurezze). Secondo me il migliore titolo di Hughes, con alcune riprese indimenticabili, come quella nel museo e la corsa di Ferris verso casa nel tentativo di anticipare i genitori. Anche la colonna sonora è all'altezza. E' stato un film culto della mia adolescenza. In questa edizione UK c'è anche l'audio in italiano e non è affatto male l'apparato di extra. Consigliatissimo!!

Ferris Bueller élève en terminale, décide par une belle journée de printemps de sécher le lycée en se faisant porter malade pour la 9ème fois et d'en profiter pour se faire une virée dans Chicago accompagné de sa petite amie et de son meilleur pote . Ed Rooney (Jeffrey Jones) le surveillant principal persuadé que Ferris le mène en bateau va se lancer à sa poursuite pour le démasquer et le faire renvoyer de l'école...mais Ferris est malin très malin...Sortit en 1986, Ferris Bueller est une comédie US irrésistible qui sous ses airs de teen movie délivre un message sur le temps qui passe et sur ce que nous décidons d'en faire. Le tout est emballé par un trio d'acteurs bourrés de charme (Matthew Broderick excellent mais aussi Mia Sara et Alan Ruck). Ne pas oublier les seconds rôles : Jeffrey Jones en surveillant looser irrésistible et sa secrétaire complètement à la masse, les parents de Ferris (complètement largués) en passant par un prof d'économie neurasthénique (Ben Stein), de la soeur de Ferris (Jennifer Grey), et d'autres formidables acteurs (les 2 irrésistibles loueurs de voitures, le chef de rang exagérément maniéré du restaurant huppé, Charlie Sheen en teenager camé complètement à l'ouest etc .. ) . Cerise sur le gâteau une super BO et la réalisation du regretté John Hugues qui permet à Ferris Bueller de s'adresser à la caméra en nous prenant à témoin de ses actes . Bref un film qui a tout bon !!!!!! Concernant le BR, belle image, bon son et de chouettes bonus !
