John Hughes Tribute #2: Ferris Beuller's Day Off

FERRIS BEULLER'S DAY OFF

This cult teen-romance movie from John Hughes came out in 1986, but is still quoted today: especially the scene where Ferris' teacher (with the nasally voice) is taking roll call. "Beuller? Beuller? Beuller??..................Anyone? Anyone?"

The movie stars Matthew Broderick as Ferris, who plans and implements an epic senior skip-day for the ages. He is joined by his girlfriend Sloane (Mia Sara) and his best friend Cameron (Alan Ruck) as they trapeze through Chicago, visiting such landmarks as the Sears Tower, The Art Institute of Chicago, and, most impressively, Wrigley Field.

Meanwhile back in school, Ferris' sister Jeanie (Jennifer Grey) and the evil Dean of Students try to catch Ferris in the act. Hilarity ensues.

Below you will find 3 videos of songs from the movie that I felt captured it's spirit. If you reached this through a facebook link, click "Indie-Ahh" to get the videos. Enjoy!

The "UP" House created for REAL.

The "UP" House

The National Geographic channel produced a real-life version of the Balloon House in the animated film "Up." Two world-class balloon pilots along with several scientisis and engineers successfully launched this 16'x16' house with 18 feet of weathered balloons from an airfield near LA. The house, carried by 300 of the helium colored balloons, reached an altitude of 3,000 meters and remained in the air for just under an hour. Wish I was there.
