Ferris Bueller's Day Off

Ferris Bueller's Day Off(1986), is a comedy directed by John Hughes, starring Matthew Broderick, Alan Ruck and Mia Sara.The movie is about "High school student Ferris Bueller wants a day off from school and he's developed an incredibly sophisticated plan to pull it off. He talks his friend Cameron into taking his father's prized Ferrari and with his girlfriend Sloane head into Chicago for the day. While they are taking in what the city has to offer school principal Ed Rooney is convinced that Ferris is, not for the first time, playing hooky for the day and is hell bent to catch him out. Ferris has anticipated that, much to Rooney's chagrin"(Imdb). It's absolutely one of the funniest movies ever made, and has many classical and very recognizable scenes. It's silly and really gets you invested in the characters.

The Sacrament

The Sacrament(2013), is an indie horror film, directed by my favorite horror director, T.I West, starring Joe Swanberg, AJ Bowen and Kentucker Audley . It's about 3 filmmakers that go to a remote islander where one of the three's sister is living with a cult she was taken in by. Everything starts well, but soon they realize the people are being forced to stay, even though some are very unhappy. Tensions rise as "the father" appears to be a very Jim Jones-esque leader, and as more people try to escape the camp, he reverts to very drastic measures. It's an edge of your seat thriller with average acting but a good story and great cinematography. It's not critically acclaimed, more of a "cult"classic(oh man what a pun), but I love it, and certainly recommend it to someone looking for a creepy movie.

The Princess Bride

The Princess Bride(1987), was an adventure comedy directed by Rob Reiner, starring Cary Elwes, Mandy Patinkin and Robin Wright. "A kindly grandfather sits down with his ill grandson and reads him a story. The story is one that has been passed down from father to son for generations. As the grandfather reads the story, the action comes alive. The story is a classic tale of love and adventure as the beautiful Buttercup, engaged to the odious Prince Humperdinck, is kidnapped and held against her will in order to start a war, It is up to Westley (her childhood beau, now returned as the Dread Pirate Roberts) to save her. On the way he meets a thief and his hired helpers, an accomplished swordsman and a huge, super strong giant, both of whom become Westley's companions in his quest"(Imdb). It's a wonderful and beautiful comedy, it's witty and truly hilarious, while simultaneously being this stunning, beautiful action film, though it's designed to spoof movies like Zorro, the hyper intense action films. It was wildly popular at the time of it's release, and it actually inspired the creation of the original Kings Quest video game, one of the first from Sierra Games. It ultimately grossed 30 million on a 16 million budget, and it widely considered one of the greatest comedies ever made. Frankly, not liking this movie is inconceivable.
