30-DAY FILM CHALLENGE, DAY 3:
A film I watch to feel good...
Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986)
When I was actually in high school in the 80s, I actually was kind of annoyed by Ferris--I remember sympathizing more with his buddy Cameron. (Come to think of it, I kept rooting for Ducky in Pretty in Pink... there's a trend here, I'm afraid...)
So 25 years later, though I still have never lived in Chicago, and I have to acknowledge the questionable racial politics of John Hughes (here and elsewhere--Long Duck Dong anyone?), I will always pull up a seat if this one appears on cable.
It's innocent and playful in a way that I seem to not have appreciated at the time...
