Movie Man: Back to School

Unbelievably, it’s back-to-school time. To help get ready for school days and not “school daze,” celebrate some favorite films about life at school.

I would be remiss if I did not start with Ferris Bueller’s Day Off (1986), a classic celebrating its 30th anniversary this year. Ferris tributes have been held nationwide. Turner Classic Movies sponsored the movie’s rerelease in theatres across the country. Who doesn’t love Matthew Broderick as Ferris, the ultimate high school wise guy who raises playing hooky to an art form as he and his best buddies (winningly played by Mia Sara and Alan Ruck) share an adventurous day in Chicago? By the way, where are Mia Sara and Alan Ruck today? Just curious.
