A friend was selling a bunch of DVDs so I bought some for my gf and some for me. I’ve never seen these 3 before, but I’ve heard amazing things about all of them.

    I’m curious what you’ll think of Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. By the time I was reaching junior high, it had already cemented itself as a staple on TV, so I saw it when I could still see Ferris as an aspirational figure. I don’t know if I’d have the same experience if I first saw it as an adult.

      That’s probably the main one I’m interested in. Unlike a ton of people, I didn’t grow up with John Hughes movies. Only one I’ve seen is that Miracle on 34th Street remake he wrote and produced which I thought was just ok.

        I’m sure the others have stuff to offer (the Night on Bald Mountain segment of Fantasia is something I return to every now and again), but, yeah, Ferris Bueller is probably going to be the best bang for the buck. I will say you should make time for The Breakfast Club, as I think that’s the best of Hughes’ teen movie ouvre. I have a vague soft spot for Pretty in Pink too, but I don’t remember much about it (and I don’t think he directed that particular flick).
