| Jim Carrier | 88 | - Out of all of the 1980's John Hughes movies, this was my favorite & might have been the best all-around. It's about high school senior Ferris Beuller who is has senioritis & decides to fake being sick to enjoy the day while getting his girlfriend out of school & hanging with his best friend who really is sick in the big city of Chicago. Non-stop fun. |
