The Chicago aspects of FBDO are the things that stuck with me afterwards. That and "Bueller? Bueller?"
Other good show-off-Chicago movies: Blues Brothers, The Fugitive, Blink, and Adventures in Babysitting. Any other suggestions?

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Anyone seeing Battle for Terra? Owen's dying to see it but I am dubious.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Batman Begins. Heh.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I also really really loved The Princess and the Warrior.
Oh I did too. I was haunted by that film. Afterward, I just ruminated on it for a few hours.

It's on my DVR, waiting to be watched one day.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I really had no IDEA how smoking hot Zachary Quinto was until this movie. (Sure, Sylar's attractive in a villainous kind of way, but...WOAH. Spock. Hawt.)
Jessica, rent So NoTORIous. He's about 20 times hotter as Sasan than he is on Heroes. Also, most of the episodes are pretty funny (the Scientology one is hilarious!).
In general I agree with Frank about the unctuousness of Ferris Beuller himself, but I did really like Jennifer Grey and Alan Ruck in that movie. Plus, "Ed, Ferris Beuller's on line two!" is one of my favorite reaction shots of all time.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I adore the FBDO, but it's not about Ferris! You're supposed to feel that way about Ferris, because Cameron feels that way about Ferris, and it's a movie about Cameron!
I <3 Cameron.

Definitely Running Scared!! How did I forget that one?
Between the car chase on the L tracks and the frackin' awesome finale in the State of Illinois building's atrium, it does a great job of showing off parts of the city you don't see elsewhere.

Speaking of L tracks... I would add Wanted to the list.
