DVD Reviews of Ferris Bueller's Day Off Bueller...Bueller... Edition (Special Collector's Edition)

DVD Review: Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Summary: 5 Stars

A must see if you've ever skipped a day of school. Still holds up well today and takes you back to the craziness of high school.

DVD Review: The Blu Edition - an incremental improvement over the DVD
Summary: 4 Stars

I am very selectively upgrading my movie collection to Blu and, to me, at this price, buying Bueller again was a no brainer. However, not everyone may be happy with what the Blu edition has to offer so, let's discuss it.

The Blu treatment of the the picture makes it slightly better than the DVD edition but only slightly - nothing like the older James Bonds or the 2001 on Blu. The Dolby TrueHD 5.1 probably is a more significant improvement than the upgraded image. It it convincingly superior to the DVD edition. In addition, there are Dolby 2.0 soundtracks in French and Spanish and subtitles are available if needed.

When it comes to bonus features, this edition actually lacks the director's commentary soundtrack - don't understand why. The 'extras' seem to be those found on the previous DVD release:

- Getting the class together - cast members talk about their experience
- The making of... - everybody gets to talk
- Who is Ferris Bueller - more analysis
- The world according to Ben Stein - Ben is himself, again
- Vintage Ferris Bueller, the lost tape - very funny actually, includes a very young Matthew Broderick interviewing the other cast members
- Class Album - a collection of stills

With the exception of the Class Album photos which got the HD treatment, all other bonus features were shot in low-def and narrow screen (also known as 'full screen').

I would say that this should be a definite buy for a 'first time' Ferris Bueller enthusiast. For those who already have the movie on DVD... I don't regret making the purchase but the buying decision should be made with the awareness that this is not a giant leap forward in quality or viewing experience. It's good, it's better than the DVD but not by a lot.

DVD Review: Hated Mia Sara. Loved everything else.
Summary: 5 Stars

I have the 1999 DVD with John Hughes' commentary. In fact it's the *only* extra on my disc. And for some reason the later "Bueller, Bueller Edition" from 2006 is missing it. So why upgrade? It's such a scam sometimes. I've heard Hughes shot tons of film so I'm sure there's stuff out there. But for a few more outtakes or a featurrette, I'd rather keep the older DVD--assuming picture/sound quality is more or less the same.

Still, this is one of the most famous comedies to come out of the 80s. How can it not get 5 stars?

DVD Review: Ferris Bueller's Day Off region 2
Summary: 5 Stars

Although it took some time before I received it, the DVD is in excellent condition.

DVD Review: Great movie
Summary: 5 Stars

What a funny movie. This rates up there with Dumb and Dumber. Also a good soundtrack. If they could only make more movies like this instead of the steady stream of garbage we get as time goes by.
