“Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” (1986)
Ferris Bueller, the guy everyone wants to be but nobody is brave enough to emulate. He’s not just skipping school; he’s making it an art form. One monumental sick day. That’s all it takes for Ferris to lead his girlfriend and best friend through the whirlwind that is Chicago
Heathers: the dark comedy that gave a cynical edge to the pretty-in-pink, bubbly ’80s.

“Risky Business” (1983)
Young Tom Cruise sliding in socks and underwear? One hundred percent iconic. But, of course, there’s more to it.
