Ferris Bueller's Day Off is the classic 1986 comedy starring Matthew Broderick as high school slacker Ferris Bueller.

With its memorable characters, smart dialogue, and fun soundtrack, it's no wonder that this movie has become an enduring classic. Featuring classic hits like "Love Missile F1-11" by Sigue Sigue Sputnik and "Star Wars" by John Williams which can be heard when the two valet parking attendants take Cameron's father's Ferrari on a joyride through the Chicago Metro Area. The soundtrack perfectly captures the spirit of the movie. It also features music from artists such as Wayne Newton, The Dream Academy, and General Public that reflect the light-hearted tone of Ferris' quest to have an unforgettable day off.
