My favorite Oklahoma Ladies, the lovely, talented, smart, and very hot RHOKing RHOKette’s of the Real Housewives of Oklahoma have as the subject of this week’s McLinky Monday:
What is your favorite John Hughes movie and why?
I have to tell you “16 Candles, isn’t it.” Sweetie likes it, when its on, I grab my Sports Illustrated. Nothing wrong with it, its just not me.
The Breakfast Club isn’t it either. I like it and, even though I was never a Generation X slacker nor did I ever spend a minute in detention or ever get in trouble because I was such a perfect guy. Funny enough though, I can see a couple of the RHOK’ers and their spouses in the movie. No need to explain myself. Nope, I’ll just leave it at that.
My favorite John Hughes movie is Ferris Bueller’s Day off. The first time I saw I laughed till my sides hurt. I have seen it dozens of times and it still makes me laugh.
I never get tired of watching it and it seems like I have the whole thing memorized. I recently got a DVD of the movie at an Energy Industry function. Actually my door prize was “Flash Dance” which I was going to throw in the trash but I ran into somebody who loves that movie and her door prize was Ferris. So we both ended up happy.
I put it in contention for the fourth best movie ever. (“Chinatown”, “Cars”, and “Down With Love” are ahead of it.)
Anyways, go check out the RHOK and tell them what your favorite John Hughes movie is and buy a tee shirt.
Ah, Ferris! One of my all time favorites, too!! Hope your week is off to a great start!

Ferris is one of the best! I would have made it 2nd on my list.
So… you think Doc is the geek. Am I right? Huh??
Just don’t tell me I’m Ally Sheedy in Breakfast Club. Ok?
Ferris Bueller is probably my all time favorite feel good movie. It has worn very well. It is one of those movies that has a plot thread but is composed of little scenes that are gems on their own. When something remotely similar happens in real life we laugh and quote the corresponding line from Ferris Bueller. …anyone? anyone? Great stuff.
My second all time favorite is The Christmas Story. You know, the one where the kid wants (covets) a Red Ryder BB Gun in the worst way and everybody tells him “you’ll shoot your eye out kid.” Of course you have to remember I was the Woodland Hills Mall Santa for 6 seasons. I got to tell a bunch of young pretenders “you’ll shoot your eye out kid”, then laugh while they scowl and ask “How come everybody says that”.
Although I do not own its DVD, every time it is played on TV, I watched its entirety. Good laughs.
Gosh, I’m way behind the times here. Must look for Ferris on the DVD counter, read what it’s about and then, maybe, buy it!
There is the saying that what America likes GB follows in ten years’ time – perhaps that applies to films too?
Ferris is definitely a good one. 16 Candles is pretty good. The Breakfast Club was probably my favorite though.
The only good part of the movie is watching a young Mia Sara. She is pure eye candy.
It’s on my list also. I’ll never forget the look on their faces then the car went through the window of the garage. Priceless.
I love Ferris too! I only saw the movie when I came to Canada (it’s not famous in Europe as far as I know) and loved it. “Anyone, anyone, anyone…?” 😀
Steve and I both like Ferris. I must confess, I kind of like Sixteen Candles, too.
