  The other movie with Broderick using a computer was War Games.  "Shall we play a game?"

  Simple Minds were a Scottish rock band from the 1980s.

  While odometers no longer work that way, back when this movie was made most of them did. <br><br>I’m not sure about luxury cars, but I do know that used car salesman were vilified for the practice of reversing odometers.

  Simple Minds was a rock band. Their biggest hit song was &quot;Don&apos;t You Forget About Me&quot;, and that was what was written on the sign in small letters below &quot;Simple Minds&quot; of Ferris&apos; BR wall.. That iconic song is played at the end of another great &quot;coming of age&quot; film - &quot;The Breakfast Club&quot; &nbsp;- Starring Anthony Michael Hall and Molly Ringwald (both in Sixteen Candles that you reacted to), &nbsp;Judd Nelson, Ally Sheedy, and Emilio Esteves.

  in most places in the US all schoolbusses are yellow, but usually there would be a smaller &quot;short&quot; bus for &apos;special students&apos;<br>the bus was &apos;short&apos; because there were fewer mentally impaired students.<br><br>so we&apos;d say you belong on the short bus, or something to that effect.

  Since you’re from an Amish background, you might enjoy a 1997 Tim Allen comedy movie called “For Richer or Poorer”. He hides in an Amish community to evade the IRS. I thought it was a very good heartwarming movie.

  Great reaction like always, love this movie its a classic. Many people don&apos;t get the subtle subtexts in this movie. Ferris lived a charmed life. Partly perhaps luck, &nbsp;partly just plain initiative and intelligence and clever, but mostly confidence in himself &nbsp;he never doubts himself or his choices, he&apos;s just go go go. Perhaps a touch of the sociopath. Lol my favorite scene is the wicked smile he gives the camera at the end. <br> <br>But then you have Cameron who has zero confidence, zero boldness, and struggling with mental illness because he was seriously depressed. Possibly on verge of suicidal. Ferris tried to save him in his teenage confident way, a day out. It was all for his bff. <br> <br>And some fun-facts about it. All the characters who have cars, (except for Cameron&apos;s dad whos car license plate says NRVOUS) have license plates that are abbreviations of John Hughs movies. His Mom’s car has a license plate that reads “MMOM” which is a reference to 1983’s Mr. Mom which Hughes wrote. His Dad’s car has a license plate that reads “VCTN” which is a reference again to 1983’s Vacation. His sister’s car has a license plate that reads “TBC” which is a reference to 1985’s The Breakfast Club. Lastly, Principal Rooney’s car has a license plate that reads “4FBDO” which translates to “For Ferris Bueller’s Day Off”. To produce the desired drugged-out effect for his role as the drug addict in the police station, Charlie Sheen stayed awake for more than 48 hours before the scene was shot <br> <br>As you may have detected by the soundtrack, John Hughes was really into new wave music back then. All the posters in Ferris&apos; and Cameron&apos;s rooms were his personal collection. Cameron only has U2 Boy, but Ferris has Bryan Ferry, Simple Minds, Killing Joke, Blancmange, The Damned, Charlie Sexton, Jah Wobble/Holger Czukay/The Edge, Flesh For Lulu, Cabaret Voltaire, The Rave Ups. There is actually a band Save Ferris named of course, after the charity theme in this film. You can see them make an appearance in the movie 10 Things I Hate About You. <br> <br>Also not sure it&apos;s been mentioned, but a Fun Fact about this movie is that the actors who played Ferris&apos; parents met during the making of that movie and ended up getting married in real life. My interpretation in the end when the sister rushed home to catch Ferris before he could get home so he would get in trouble. Then she overheard the principal telling Ferris that he would have to spend another year in high school. Another year with the two of them at the same school was the LAST thing she wanted, so she covered for him instead. If she wanted to cover for Ferris as a result of her chat with Charlie Sheen, she would have driven slowly to ensure he got home first after she saw him in the street. Keep up the good work.

  It is funny how modern viewers that react to this movie find Ferris to be a jerk and dont like him, but back in the day we all wanted to be like him.
