(3) Ferris Buehler's Day Off
(siskel & eber review!)


(14) Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

[bmfc1]

Don't forget that Matthew Broderick is a Mets fan. We're not sure about the loyalties of Roger Rabbit.

[HahnSolo]

In with a vote for Ferris.

Made throwback jerseys look cool long before they became a fad.

[Guest sharpie]

I wasn't in high school in the '80's so Ferris Bueller didn't do it for me. On the other hand, I kind of hated Roger Rabbit. Pass.

More important is that Ferris was a Cub fan and, while Roger was set in pre-Mets days, Benny the Cab was a Brooklyn Dodger fan. I went Roger.

I love both of these films. It was a close call, but I went for Roger Rabbit, just because it was so creative. Plus it had one of the best lines ever -

I'm not bad. I'm just drawn that way.

[Vic Sage]

Close call.

I went with "Buehler, Buehler" because i can always watch it. Despite the artistry of ROGER RABBIT, i find it increasingly tedious with repeated viewings.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I'm completely with Siskel on "Ferris' -- I was in high school then and didn't think that picture rung true with me even a little. There was too much cheap slapstick, and while it pretended to be a movie about helping a friend gain self-respect it was really a showcase for a blemish-free high school kid doing things that weren't all that fun. I identified with Cameron and probably would have hit Ferris with an axe in the face. That said, a few good lines.

Roger Rabbit was insanely creative and had a spectacular opening but IMO was not all that satisfying either. One thing was I didn't really like seeing some cartoon characters come out of the worlds in which I'd always known them -- like Bugs, etc., and this was the start of all that.

Hmmm

[Guest AG/DC]

^
Yup.

[dgwphotography]

I can't believe this is that close - Ferris is the Walrus.

[Guest cooby]

Roger Rabitt sucked. No offense to whoever nominated it

[metsmarathon]

my vote goes to the bunny.

[Guest Vince Coleman Firecracker]

I chose Roger Rabbit, partly due to one of my favorite lines:

Eddie (to penguin waiter): Scotch on the rocks. And I mean ice!

But mostly because of an anti-Ferris mood I'm in. Perhaps it's due to over-exposure (thanks, Ted Turner), but I no longer enjoy watching it anymore.

And what's up with the cast?

Matthew Broderick kills a family in Ireland, Ben Stein devolves from a genial Nixon apologist to a rabid anti-evolutionist, and Jeffrey Jones, well, ick. Plus, Mia Sara has never loved me he way I once loved her.

[Fman99]

Not the biggest Beuler fan but Mia Sara can drink my milkshake.

In fact she might get some milkshake in her hair if she ain't careful...

[Guest AG/DC]

Excellent points by Coleman. Jennifer Gray also skidded off the pavement, when she went in for rhinoplasty --- an insult to Baby's fans everywhere --- and destoyed her career and nearly her face with it.

[Elster88]

Ferris [u:7y0hcfsi]Bueller[/u:7y0hcfsi] deservers about 10% of the replay it gets. Seeing cartoons walking around on city streets was pretty cool. I get choked up every time I see that shoe die.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Ferris is your winner, 16-11

[soupcan]

Danke Schoen.

You forgot that Cameron also killed Kirk, and blasted a big hole in the Enterprise-B

[Benjamin Grimm]

Kirk Cameron? Isn't he that kid from Growing Pains who's now making Jesus movies?
