The rear side of the residence has been drastically remodeled since filming took place, which made identifying it rather difficult. Owen first zeroed in on the property after pinpointing another race location just a few doors down. We also matched several features of the brick property located next door at 1209 Cherry Street.
During the coronavirus pandemic, the 19th-century masterwork also appeared in one of the lighthearted “Where’s Lightfoot? ” memes showing Chicago's mayor keeping watch over the city during the lockdown. It's one of the best teen comedies of the 1980s and here's every song from the Ferris Bueller's Day Off soundtrack. The late, great John Hughes is a towering figure when it comes to 1980s comedy films. In addition to coming of age tales like Sixteen Candles, Pretty In Pink and The Breakfast Club, he also wrote and directed classic comedies like Planes, Trains And Automobiles and Uncle Buck starring John Candy.

At TPG, we’ve always found packing a bag and embarking on a globe-trotting adventure is a fine antidote to troubling times. But for many people, it's returning to simpler times, when the Commodore computer and the Sony Walkman were state-of-the-art and you could wear leg warmers in summer while singing along to power ballads, that helps distract from life's daily stresses. He famous glass house of Ferris Bueller’s Day Off fame just sold for $1.06 million.
A part-time hobby soon blossomed into a career when he discovered he really loved writing about movies, TV and video games; he even had a little bit of talent for it. He has written words for Den of Geek, Collider, The Irish Times and Screen Rant over the years, and can discuss anything from the MCU - where Hawkeye is clearly the best character - to the most obscure cult b-movie gem, and his hot takes often require heat resistant gloves to handle. He's super modern too, so his favorite movies include Jaws, Die Hard, The Thing, Ghostbusters and Batman. Hughes partly grew up in Northbrook, a suburb of Chicago, where he attended Glenbrook North High School on Shermer Road. The production team used the school for filming the exterior scenes of Ferris’ school in the movie. Butternut Lane is where the scenes involving Ferris running home near the end of the movie were filmed.
How we chose these cards
That home’s unique trim and chimney layout (4 – these can also best be seen from alternate views) are briefly visible as Ferris first steps into the backyard of 1215. Anyone who’s seen the Matthew Broderick-starring teen classic knows just how this particular 250 GT California met its initial demise. In the film’s final act, Ferris’s friend Cameron realizes that his plan to erase the mileage from their adventure by running the car in reverse won’t work. It’s at that point that he decides it’s time to stand up to his domineering father once and for all. But before he can do that, he delivers a few kicks to the car … the last of which sends it crashing through the garage’s full-length window to the floor of the woods below. Bueller DVD re-release has several more bonus features, but does not contain the commentary track of the original DVD release.
The film stars Matthew Broderick, Mia Sara, and Alan Ruck with supporting roles by Jennifer Grey, Jeffrey Jones, Cindy Pickett, Edie McClurg, and Lyman Ward. It tells the story of a high school slacker who skips school with his best friend and his girlfriend for a day in Chicago and regularly breaks the fourth wall to explain his techniques and inner thoughts. I think what keeps this film resonating with past and current audiences alike is its clear distinction in paying close attention to young people, and their ever-ongoing battle for independence, for recognition and for individuality. The lead is Ferris Bueller ; a young and very confident, almost borderline sociopathic in his behaviour, male in then-contemporary America.

While unabashedly about Chicago, Hughes’ movie was also filmed outside of Illinois. The Virginia Country Club House also doubled for the Bueller residence. The final scene of the movie, where principal Rooney is picked up by the school bus, was filmed at Los Cerritos Park.
The album includes new wave and pop songs featured in the film, as well as Ira Newborn's complete score, including unused cues. Due to licensing restrictions, "Twist and Shout," "Taking The Day Off," and "March of the Swivelheads" were not included, but are available elsewhere. The Flowerpot Men's "Beat City" makes its first official release on CD with a new mix done by The Flowerpot Men's Ben Watkins and Adam Peters that differs from the original 7" fan club release. Several scenes were cut from the final film; one lost scene titled "The Isles of Langerhans" has the three teenagers trying to order in the French restaurant, shocked to discover pancreas on the menu (although in the finished film, Ferris still says, "We ate pancreas,” while recapping the day). This is featured on the Bueller, Bueller Edition DVD. Other scenes were never made available on any DVD version. These scenes included additional screen time with Jeannie in a locker room, Ferris's younger brother and sister , and additional lines of dialogue throughout the film, all of which can be seen in the original theatrical trailer.
Most Blu-ray debuts of Ferris Bueller's Day Off in most foreign-language countries took place in 2019; the film was released to the format in France on January 9, 2019, Germany on February 7, 2019, Italy on March 13, 2019, Japan on April 24, 2019, and Spain on May 3, 2019. The Italy, Germany, and Spain Blu-rays includes French, German, Italian, and Spanish dubs; and Italian, English, French, German, Japanese, Spanish, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, Norwegian, and Swedish subtitles. The French and Japanese Blu-rays, however, are limited to subtitle and audio options of their respective languages. VHS retro packing Blu-ray editions of the film have only been issued as retailer exclusives. In Australia on December 6, 2017, JB Hi-Fi issued a 1000-copies-only "Rewind Collection" edition of the VHS-retro-packaged Blu-ray that also includes a DVD disc, a toy figure, props from the film, and other memorabilia.
But the journey does have an ideation; an ideation Bueller himself cooks up to do with being able to notice life and enjoy life as best you can, otherwise it might seem like it's passing you by. Original DVD release is largely devoid of bonus features, but does include a John Hughes commentary. The later "Bueller...Bueller Edition" adds in many more bonus features, but omits the earlier Hughes commentary. A high school wise guy is determined to have a day off from school, despite what the Principal thinks of that.
Ticket prices depend on how the Cubs are performing, but expect to pay around $30 per ticket. You can also sign up for tours that visit the press box, clubhouses, bleachers and team dugouts. WYATT SMITH/THE POINTS GUYThere are still few better ways to play hooky anywhere, anytime, than to watch a game at Wrigley, eat hot dogs and sing “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” during the seventh-inning stretch, a tradition coined by the late broadcaster Harry Caray.
I’m a bit sad that it’s over but am already anxiously awaiting my next joint stalking venture with Owen. Amazingly, the deck that Ferris jumps from in the scene is still intact, as is evidenced by the real estate photograph below, which I snagged from a 2009 listing.
The trim and windows of the residence located just to the west at 1229 Cherry also directly correlate to what was shown of the neighboring residence in the scene. The red-over-tan convertible—which isn’t an actual Ferrari—was one of three prop cars built by Modena Design & Development for filming and is the one shot going through the window. It was rebuilt after production for display, but like almost any prop car has a few details that give it away as an imposter. LabelLa-La Land RecordsThe soundtrack for the film, limited to 5,000 copies, was released on September 13, 2016 by La-La Land Records.
"Twist and Shout" charted again, 16 years after the Beatles broke up, as a result of its prominent appearance in both this film and Back to School which was released the same weekend as Ferris Bueller's Day Off. The re-released single reached No. 23 in the U.S; a US-only compilation album containing the track The Early Beatles, re-entered the album charts at No. 197. The version heard in the film includes brass overdubbed onto the Beatles' original recording, which did not go down well with Paul McCartney.
The parade scene took multiple days of filming; Broderick spent some time practicing the dance moves. "I was very scared,” Broderick said. "Fortunately, the sequence was carefully choreographed beforehand. The first day was during a real parade, and John got some very long shots.
