Ferris Bueler is one of my all time favorite movies. To call it "cliche" is entirely missing the point. High school life IS a big cliche, everything about it. You can either get wrapped up in the pointlessness or you can get a head start and begin figuring out who you really are, what you can really do, and really begin to REALLY enjoy it. It's about being able to get away with as much as you can BECAUSE you can.<P>And the argument that just becuase John Hues went on to do Home Alone means his past achievements are any less IS SIMPLY PREPOSTEROUS! Listen to _bigheezy_ and what he is saying, not how he is saying it. So much confusion is in the world because people pay too much attention to HOW something is being said instead of WHAT they're saying. When it comes down to it everybody, no matter what your beliefs religiously are, want the exact same things out of life, we all just ask differently. --Just because what Steivie is doing now dwarfs in comparison to his past work doesn't make his past work any less. Same for Mr. Hues.<P>GO BACK AND WATCH FERRIS BUELER AND BREAKFAST CLUB WITHOUT THINKING OF HOME ALONE AND BABY'S DAY OUT, and get off the drugs.<P>Love,<BR>ToeJam
