Why all the hate for Ferris Bueller?
I highly recommend Heathers.

Because it portrays Matthew Broderick (!) as a cool kid, but actually he's a jerk. It all seems phony. It's by John Hughes.
I do like this scene, though.

Good to know, thanks! I'm always looking for movies to stream. I'll overlook your defense of Ferris Bueller as an aberration in your otherwise excellent taste.

I guess most teen films are phony. But I like the cleverness, the breaking of the fourth wall. I think JH said it was his love letter to Chicago.

Ha! Beware, thought, Heathers is bizarre and surreal. It's become a cult classic.

I don't hate it. I can't hate something I've never seen. I just have no interest in seeing it.
For the record I don't hate Matthew Broderick, either, though I still think he was an odd choice for Glory, which is a film I like very much. I made sure to visit the Shaw memorial once.

Even if it does turn out to be phony, I can think of one teen film I'd like to see some day: Love, Simon.
