I’m 32 and my favorite 80s teen movie is Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. Some might argue it’s not a traditional teen movie but I absolutely think it is. The thing is in my opinion Cameron is the actual main character while Ferris is sort of a sideshow. Ferris is the quintessential 80s “cool guy who always wins” and their adventures around Chicago are awesome but it’s Cameron who goes through the real arc, and honestly Ferris’ most redeeming quality is that he seems to actually care for his friend and wants him to break out of the rut his crappy family life has put him in.

But for whatever reason most people always think of the other John Hughes movies as being the quintessential 80s Teen comedies, but for me it’s gotta be Ferris Bueller.
