'Ferris Bueller's Day Off' is finally streaming for free — here's where you can watch it
"Ferris Bueller's Day Off" is finally streaming for free, but on a streaming service you might not be aware of. When we talk about the best free streaming services, Tubi and Pluto TV quickly come to mind. But Kanopy also has an excellent library of movies, and all you need to get access to it is your library card. For those who aren't familiar with Kanopy, it's ad-free and free of charge, provided you're a member of a partner organization. Typically, a library card is enough to get you access, but you can also get access if you're a student at a participating college or university. Once you have access to Kanopy, one of the first movies you should hit play on is "Ferris Bueller's Day Off," the iconic 1986 John Hughes classic starring Matthew Broderick as the titular truant teen. It was just added to Kanopy and is an endlessly rewatchable movie. It's also the perfect way to break in your fresh, new Kanopy account. As I already mentioned, "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" stars Broderick as the titular Ferris. Because it's a John Hughes movie, Ferris lives in the Chicago suburbs, and one day he decides to fake being sick and take the day off from school. But he's not skipping school alone. He also gets his best friend Cameron (Alan Ruck) and his girlfriend Sloane (Mia Sara) to join him for a day out in Chicago, and they tour iconic Chicago landmarks in Cameron's father's 1961 Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder, while Ferris frequently breaks the fourth wall to talk to the audience. Not everyone is fooled by Ferris's plan. Dean of Students at Ferris, Cameron and Sloane's high school, Edward "Ed" R. Rooney (Jeffrey Jones), is sure that Ferris is up to no good. Can Ferris avoid being caught? You'll have to watch to find out. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Kanopy is available in select regions across the globe, including the U.S., the U.K., Australia, Canada, Singapore, Hong Kong and New Zealand. As previously mentioned, the way you get access is by being a member of a partner public library or university. Kanopy has resources to check if your local library has made Kanopy available. Just type in the name of your library, or enter your zip code, and Kanopy will show you the partner libraries closest to you. You can also do the same thing to check if your college or university has made Kanopy available. Once you're signed up, you can access Kanopy through apps on the Apple App Store, Google Play, Roku and Amazon Fire devices.

Lewis Hamilton Recreated The Ferrari Scene From 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off' Because His Job Offers Better Benefits Than Yours
Seven-time Formula One World Champion Sir Lewis Hamilton is already enjoying the perks of being a Ferrari driver, despite the 2025 season not yet having started. On Wednesday the Briton posted a new video to his social media channels making his debut in a major Hollywood motion picture. Though weirdly the film came out when Hamilton was merely one year of age, as it was the 1986 comedy heavyweight "Ferris Bueller's Day Off." Hamilton worked with Dawn Apollo Films, Large Eyes, and Paramount Pictures to fully insert himself as the joyriding parking lot valet drifting and jumping Cameron's father's 1961 Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder around the streets of Chicago. Only 56 examples of that car were ever made, and thankfully for car enthusiasts everywhere, the one they destroyed for the film was actually a Ford 302-powered fiberglass replica, not the 8-figure alloy original. Hamilton said he "had to get the exact car" for this scene remake, so perhaps this is also a replica and not a Ferrari at all? In any case, as a fan of the film myself, I'm impressed. The shot-for-shot remake of the fully restored scene inserted Hamilton as the mildly shady valet that Bueller pays off with a fiver to take extra good care of the delightful Ferrari. In the original sequence the driver is played by Richard Edson and his co-pilot is Larry Flash Jenkins, but in this revamped edition Edson's stand-in is Hamilton, while Jenkins is re-cast as legendary Hollywood master Edward Norton. Norton has been confused for Matthew Broderick's "Bueller" co-star Alan Ruck for decades, so this was probably a bit cathartic for Norton.

Most young drivers who dream of making it to Formula One will never get there, and many young drivers who actually do dream of one day driving for Ferrari and never do. For Lewis, this has been a decades-long journey to get to the top of the sport and earn his way into the Scuderia. He calls the short film "Another dream come true ..." on YouTube, indicating that driving for the team has perhaps been a dream as long as he's loved watching the Ferrari in "Ferris Bueller." Andiamo, Lewis, Forza Ferrari. Want more like this? Join the Jalopnik newsletter to get the latest auto news sent straight to your inbox... Read the original article on Jalopnik.
