Ferris Bueller wants the perfect day off school, and he's determined to make it happen. With his best friend Cameron and girlfriend Sloane in tow, he fakes an illness, outsmarts every adult in his path, and heads into Chicago for a whirlwind adventure that blends sharp comedy with a surprisingly tender comingofage story.

Join us for a special 40th anniversary screening to rediscover why this 80s favourite remains so popular. Matthew Broderick's irresistibly charismatic turn as Ferris, John Hughes' razorsharp writing, and a run of iconic moments make this a nostalgia trip well worth taking. From the joyously anarchic parade sequence to the tense, hilarious catandmouse game with Principal Rooney, Ferris Bueller's Day Off endures because it taps into something universal; the thrill of breaking free, the value of friendship, and the reminder that life moves pretty fast.

Ferris Bueller's Day Off is screening as part of our monthly Retro Vault Night. Head down early with any unwanted DVDs to pick up some new films from our DVD swap box or acquire a poster in our poster sale.
