John Hughes’ FERRIS BUELER’S DAY OFF: 40th Anniversary!
(PG-13, 1986, 103 min)
Forty years later and Ferris still isn’t done stealing the day! Life moves fast — but Ferris Bueller knows how to cheat the rules and make every moment unforgettable. Matthew Broderick leads the ultimate day-off adventure, joined by Alan Ruck as the perpetually panicked Cameron and Mia Sara as the ever-cool Sloane, as they tear through Chicago in a Ferrari, dodge a relentless principal, and make every second count. This is possibly the defining comedy for the 80s generation: sun-soaked, hilarious, and endlessly quotable. It’s a chaotic joyride of rebellion, friendship, and absolute brilliance. Grab your sunglasses, raise your hands, and remember: Save Ferris — because if Rooney catches him, the fun officially ends.

Alexander Payne’s ELECTION
(R, 1999, 103 min)
Reading. Writing. Revenge. Matthew Broderick stars in this razor-sharp late-90s generation-defining comedy as Jim McAllister, a well-meaning civics teacher whose high school life spirals out of control when overachieving student Tracy Flick (Reese Witherspoon) runs for student body president. Determined to derail her campaign, McAllister secretly backs a rival, sparking a hilariously chaotic battle of ambition, ethics, and teenage politics. With standout performances from Chris Klein and Jessica Campbell, this biting satire perfectly captures the tone, style, and humor of the late 90s, skewering both adolescent power struggles and adult insecurities. Smart, funny, and wickedly entertaining, it’s a cult classic that keeps audiences laughing decades later.
