Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986) vs Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982)


which is better?

reply

My choice would be "Fast Times At Ridgemont High" because I thought it was a better film and the situations were more relatable.

I never thought "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" was really that great of a movie TBH

Fast times by a country mile.

reply

2 different movies.

Fast times is full of drugs sex and rock and roll.

Ferris is not.

Both are awesome 80s staples

reply

Ferris Hand's down.

In everyway.

reply

Fast Times, can watch it many times
Ferris I saw once and felt Blah!, maybe it was that awful rendition of Twist & Shout, but it did at least bring the Beatles to a new audience

reply

Fast Times seems much more real. FB is a light comedy.

reply

I like "Ferris," but "Fast Times" hands down.

reply

There strangely giving them back to back right now on AMC!

I dont know who can like Fast times though. There is a lot of disgusting themes. Like Abortion, Debt, poverty, alienation, lies, etc... Ferris is a lot more feel good and romantic.

reply

Hmm. You should give "Less Than Zero" a try then
