Illinois – Ferris Bueller’s Day Off (1986)
There is a good reason that people call this movie the defining flick for Gen Xers. Matthew Broderick made the entire generation want to play hooky in style. To be honest, we can’t blame them for it. Shot in Chicago, this is one of the greatest teen movies ever made. Did you know that the actor who played Cameron had been almost 30 years old by the time that they filmed it? It is quite shocking to hear that!
Indiana – A Christmas Story (1983)
