That's right! I remember now.

Hmm. Ferris and Allison. That would of been interesting! I wonder if Farmer Ted and Brian Johnson knew each other....as well as Gary and Rusty Griswold. Lol.

I haven't forgotten about this thread. I still plan to add and update.

If you were to live in Shermer, which combination of house/neighborhood/family/friends/school depicted in any of the movies would you want?

Samantha Baker's house, family, friends, school?

Ferris Bueller's house, family, friends, school?

The Breakfast Club? Uncle Buck? Weird Science? Home Alone?

Good question! Hmm...I LOVE the house in Home Alone, and it's pretty iconic, too. For friends, probably a combination of Cameron from FBDO, and Brian and maybe Allison from TBC.

Most of those movies were filmed in the same school, right? So that one :lol:

What about you?

Yeah, I believe Sixteen Candles was the only one of the main three films that was filmed at a different school. TBC and FBDO used the same interior, but different exteriors.

I would have to go with the Home Alone house. I love that house. It's probably my favorite movie house overall and not just Shermer related, although Wyatt's house in "Weird Science" was pretty nice too. As for friends, who wouldn't want to be buddies with Ferris? I would pick Ferris, Cameron, and Brian. Sloane for my girlfriend. Lol!

When I can't get away, I go to the OP and pretend I am on an 80s vacation to Shermer. Lol.

I still have some more stuff to add. Weird Science & Home Alone. WS is hard to come by.

That's a nice getaway. lol

I was thinking of tweeting a link to this thread to all the John Hughes people on Twitter.

Oh, maybe they'd come join us.

Wouldn't that be something?!

Bumping this up in honor of John today.

As Mayor of Shermer, I order all flags lowered in town today. :)

Aww. I miss him.

Me too.

Keep forgetting to add more to this thread, but I will!

It's okay. I'm sure you'll add lots.

Added a Weird Science section, but there is only one picture so far. WS is proving hard to come by.
