Just a quick RIP John Hughes post, before I sit down to rewatch Ferris Bueller's Day Off. And it's from that film that I will base my tribute. So many great films, so many memories, but the one scene that really stands out for me is the scene at the Art Museum which is just amazing, I think it's one of my favourite moments in any film, and it comes in the middle of an already amazing film. The scene both seems out of place in the film - with the comedy all around it, we have this moment of art appreciation - but also absolutely a part of the film at the same time, the whole thing is just really touching and raises the film to a whole new realm of brilliance. And the accompanying version of " Please Let me get what I want" is just classic as well. John Hughes certainly knew how to pick those tunes.
Couldn't find the whole scene on youtube (which is maybe a good thing, go watch the film, if you've not seen it before... where've you been, and if you have seen it before, you probably already have this scene etched in your head and you've probably just rewatched Ferris Bueller or are just about to...)- but here's the whole song with a few stills -
and here's the last 40 seconds or so of the scene, with Cameron mesmerized ...
