Ferris Buellers Day Off (Exclusive Deal)

The destruction of the Ferrari is the most violent act in any John Hughes film. It is not an accident; it is a liberation. When the car flies out of the glass-walled garage into the ravine below, Cameron screams. He isn't screaming about the car. He is screaming for the boy who was too afraid to stand up to his father. As he later tells Ferris, “I’m gonna go home and I’m gonna face the son of a bitch.”

He is a reminder that playing by the rules isn't the same as winning. Principal Rooney (the brilliant Jeffrey Jones) spends the entire film chasing Ferris through sewers and suburbs, only to get thrown in a trash can by a pet dog. The authoritarian gets the L. The free spirit goes home, showers, and beats the clock. Ferris Buellers Day Off
