Ive never heard of either, is it because i have lived under a rock in a far flung galaxy most o me life?
They are both films by John Hughes, the bloke who is also responsible for Home Alone, Planes Trains and Automobiles, Pretty in Pink and Some Kind of Wonderful and just about every teen movie you can think of.
One point I would like to make though. The current poll suggests that most boarders think the cast of Ferris could have the cast of the Breakfast Club in a ruck, this is of course total b*ll*cks as Nelson or Estevez could take them all on by themselves. Remember this fact when you vote.
classic 80s teen movies Bou,both directed by John Hughes.Breakfast Club is about 5 disparate kids who have to spend their saturday in detention at school,Ferris Bueller is about the herculean efforts of Ferris to skive off school.I think you should watch them both if you ever get the chance.I haven't voted because I just can't decide which one I love the most,I'm edging towards Ferris however because he got me a few days off school back in ther day : )
I quite like both, though I saw Breakfast club way too late for it to have the sort of impression it does on some people. Weras i thought Ferris Bueller was a great movie at the time and watched it ad nasuem. As my fantasy was just to escape school anyway it realy stuck a chord.
Well I reckon in the '80s teen flick category you can't beat 'Pump up the Volume'... classic bit of subversive anarchy - Talk Hard!
There's no competition - without question the best 80's film was Pretty In Pink.
Pretty in Pink!?
Heresy.
What of the Lost Boys, I say?
Anyways, glad to see that reason and good sense has been reflected in the poll results.0
Death by stereo!
The Lost Boys was a great film. As was Stand By Me. I could go on all day talking about 80's films. If you like 80's films you'll love this website. It's one of those ones where you discover all those films you loved in the 80's but have forgotten about.

I did see Pretty in Pink at the right time and really enjoyed it, I was listening to the song last night. I think the main reason i watched it at the time was for Harry Dean Stanton, who I thought was pretty darn cool.
Yes!
The thing! Nothing beats 80's ultra-violence!
JK.
'Killer Klowns from Outer Space' has it all, and a marvellous 'cock rock' soundtrack to boot.
FERRIS is a fine film.
I know that it's a matter of personal taste but I abhor nearly all* of the other films mentioned and to have the word "classic" bandied around next to stuff like LOST bOYS and BREAKFAST CLUB makes me think my dictionary is out of date again.
* Planes, Trains and Automobiles excepted.
