Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986)




In John Hughes' latest venture, teens take a holiday on Ferris Bueller's Day Off.   It's springtime and Ferris has no interest sitting in a classroom.  He feigns illness, recruits his best friend and girlfriend and head into the Windy City in a Ferrari for an adventure.  His suspicious principal is hot on his trail but Ferris manages to always stay one step ahead of him.  Among the highlights of the day include catching a fly ball at Wrigley Field, a run-in with a snooty/snotty maitre d and a parade that makes Macy's yearly November effort pale in comparison.

Ferris Bueller's Day Off was filmed in Highland Park, Northbrook, Glencoe, Winnetka and Chicago, IL and South Pasadena, Long Beach and Brentwood, CA

  1. It's great to see the locations for one of my all time favorite films. 1060 W. Addison is on my bucket list and then Chez Quis for a bite!
