Where Knowledge Junkies Get Their Fix
Let’s keep it simple this week — here are a few of the best re-edits of the Ferris Bueller’s Day Off trailer. Hopefully some of these were created while skipping school.
The Touching, Sensitive Trailer
This is my favorite — it’s touching and dramatic, set to a version of “Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want” by The Smiths, covered by The Dream Academy.
Requiem For a Day Off
In which we experience Ferris as a terrifying murderer, caught in an epic life-and-death struggle.
The Psycho Thriller Trailer
So much darkness.
The Other Psycho Thriller Trailer
“Only the meek get pinched. The bold survive.”
The “I’m Not Gay” Trailer
There’s some mild sexual tension between Ferris and Cameron.
The “Stand Tall” Trailer
Cameron is dying.

I didn’t remember this movie being so violent, until I saw the Psycho trailer. Nice tribute to the best movie about ditching school, EVER!

There’s also a re-imagining of the movie as if Ferris is all in Cameron’s head, a la Fight Club.
