Ferris Bueller!

[SilenceS]

Where do you rank it? I absolutely love this movie. It has so many teachings and awesomeness in it. It so nostalgic. What 80's classics you rank above it? I will tell ya. I miss these type of movies. They seems to be no soul left in movies.

I only like the bootcamp portion of Full Metal Jacket. The rest bores me. Ferris is one of the best though.

The first ten to fifteen minutes in Full Metal Jacket may be one of the best starts in movie history. I like the whole movie, but first ten or so is incredible.

Ferris is a staple of the 80's, but I'd put a bunch of movies over it, tbh.

Back to the Future
Stand by Me
Poltergeist
Weird Science
Highlander
Tron
Stripes
Spaceballs
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Fast Times
Caddyshack
Rambo FB
Die Hard

etc...

Can't argue with a movie that flashes Jamie Lee Curtis' tits.

Anything by John Hughes is fantastic. I love how he can go from making a movie like Breakfast Club (another classic), then making a movie like Ferris Bueller's Day Off. I know what you mean by lack of soul in movies today. Part of it is CGI crap, but another part is simply a lack of great film makers..

If we're talking greatest movies of the 80's, unsure if that strictly includes comedies or not. Plains, Trains, and Automobiles is a classic (Tommy Boy before they made Tommy Boy). Others:

Coming to America
This is Spinal Tap
Raising Arizona
