There's a theory that Ferris doesn't exist, that he's Camrens alter ego/the person he wants to be

^ Didn't Ferris have a whole family though? Or was it all Cameron's ideal life?

Seems a lot of internet people don't like this idea.

Though you don't get to see Cameron's family.

They are both in bed sick at the start one pretending the other a hypochondriac

It is prob the best teen movie around IMO and one of the best comedies.

Watched Ferris Bueller last night for the first time in years, kept saying to the missus that he's actually a bit of a manipulative d*ck.

Also, Rooney is only trying to do his job

Still a great watch.

Today at 3 pm on Film 4 The producers (1969). A bona fide classic.

Here's a funny take on it -

SuperBowl 2013 Commercial - Ferris Bueller's Day Off - Matthew's Day Off


Ferris Bueller's Day Off (3/3) Movie CLIP - Oh, You Know Him? (1986) HD


I was watching this part & noticed they muted the noise of Jeanie cracking her knuckles opp Charlie Sheen, when she mentions "If you mention the name Ferris Bueller, you lose a testicle"

Interesting facts on the show & some you may know as the stars were very close.

Where are they now?

Horror Europa with Mark Gatiss BBC4 23.35 Tonight

BBC4 are showing this Documentary again if anyones interested. I watched it a while back and enjoyed it. A few of the Giallo films it mentions show up on the Horror channel every now and again too.

Duration: 1 hour, 30 minutes

Actor and writer Mark Gatiss embarks on a chilling voyage through European horror cinema. From the silent nightmares of German Expressionism in the wake of World War I to lesbian vampires in 1970s Belgium, from the black-gloved killers of Italy's bloody Giallo thrillers to the ghosts of the Spanish Civil War, Mark reveals how Europe's turbulent 20th century forged its ground-breaking horror tradition. On a journey that spans the continent from Ostend to Slovakia, Mark explores classic filming locations and talks to the genre's leading talents, including directors Dario Argento and Guillermo del Toro.

that rape scene was very graphic, hope rte put out a warning beforehand

Not a film, as such, but a documentary about films. See You At The Pictures is on RTE 1 at 22:25 tonight. I saw it a while back, it's about the history of the cinema in Ireland and how it used to be a major part of Irish society. It's a really nice watch, lots of people getting nostalgic about their old local cinema and stuff like that.

If you get More4, they're showing Witness at 10PM. Starring Harrison Ford and Kelly McGillis. It's nominally a crime story, about a cop whi hides out with an Amish family when corrupt cops come after them.
