This summer Chicago will celebrate the 30th anniversary of this film. All of the $300 passes for the 3 day celebration have sold out. You can still buy tickets for some individual events - but they are going fast.
Or, you can do what we did this afternoon. Rent the movie from iTunes for $2.99 and watch it again. Be sure to get up and dance when it's time for "Twist and Shout."

It's interesting that Matthew Broderick went on to star on Broadway and in films in an entirely different persona from Ferris. To me he seems to be a nice, quiet, but extraordinarily talented, middle aged actor and singer married to super star actor and fashion maven, Sarah Jessica Parker.
Dave asked me what is the big appeal Ferris continues to have. For me it's about finally, after a lifetime of hard work, being able to take a day (or a decade) off and have fun.
Like today when I watched and thoroughly enjoyed this movie again.
