If not one of the best, as it goes deeper than what you see. Ferris Bueller's Day Off (FBDO) all about this rite of passage from teenager to adulthood.Dodging the authority is like a secret backdoor to escape from your cyclic life (it goes like 'metro, boulot, dodo' in French ; 'Metro, work and sleep'.) and walk away from the standard path of school for a while. The sudden happiness that results from unexpected short time freedom is like a shot of fresh air.
A clever analysis is available from that blog and additional elements are available here.
Check details at IMDB... and wikipedia and that site and some kind of vault here.
Since the first draft (07/11/08@2:43PM) I found Ferris on myspace...
That movie will remain as a contribution and a testimonial of the 80's... Breakfast Club too in a more dramatic approach.
Remember these? :
- The question isn't "what are we going to do," the question is "what aren't we going to do?"
- Life goes by pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Life goes by pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it. (1986 was... 22 years ago)

Your post took me back 22 years ago man. The movie makes even more sense after all this time.
I'll rush to get the DVD and ice cream and I'll start my FBDO, session tonight!
The Chicago building scene, the Seurat painting scene and the soundtrack...
Doesn't it remind you also of Things Change? Enjoy life today as you don't know what will happen tomorrow...
