PRETTY IN PINK - Young Andie (Molly Ringwald) is one of the not-so-popular girls in high school. She usually hangs out with her friends Iona (Annie Potts) or Duckie (Jon Cryer). Duckie has always had a crush on her, but now she has met a new guy from school, Blane (Andrew McCarthy). He's one of the rich and popular guys but can the two worlds meet? FERRIS BUELLER’S DAY OFF - Ferris (Matthew Broderick) is a street-wise kid who knows all the tricks. Today he decides to take the day off school. When Ferris takes the day off, so must his best friends, Cameron (Alan Ruck) and Sloane (Mia Sara). Cameron is reluctantly persuaded to borrow his father's Ferrari, and together they hatch a plan to get Sloane out of class. Suspicious dean of students Ed Rooney (Jeffrey Jones) knows all about Ferris, but can never catch him. Ferris' sister Jeanie (Jennifer Grey) is also frustrated that Ferris always gets away with his tricks and she doesn't. Furthermore, Ferris is an 'angel' in his parent’s eyes. It's Ferris' day off, he's out to enjoy himself, and he does! SOME KIND OF WONDERFUL - A young tomboy, Watts (Mary Stuart Masterson), finds her feelings for her best friend, Keith (Eric Stoltz), run deeper than just friendship when he gets a date with the most popular girl in school, Amanda (Lea Thompson). Unfortunately, the girl's old boyfriend, Hardy (Craig Sheffer) who is from the rich section of town, is unable to let go of her, and plans to get back at Keith.

If you were a child or teenager of the 80s like me, this is the collection for you! I loved it! It was like going down memory lane! I highly recomend movie boxed sets like these for a rainy day or for a movie watching party or slumber party etc. So curl up on the couch with some popcorn and get ready to laugh and remonis!

John Hughes was definitely the teen movie master in the 1980's. Nobody has ever come close to touching him in this genre since then, and I doubt that anyone ever will. Hughes really GOT teenagers - the way their minds worked, the struggles they went through, the way they talked, everything. This collection - Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Pretty in Pink, and Some Kind of Wonderful - is a great way to experience the sheer genius that was John Hughes. It's a great value, too. I doubt you can find a better price anywhere for these three films.
One of the best things about this collection is the bonus material on each DVD. There are interviews with the cast - which were filmed in 2006, I believe - in which they talk about their experiences during filming and their thoughts on the characters and the content of the film. There's also footage from the 80's of John Hughes being interviewed regarding the films, and some 80's cast interview footage as well. Sure, you'll probably only watch this material one time, but it's worth the investment. Besides, I don't think you'd save any money by purchasing stripped-down no-bonus-material versions anyway.
I highly recommend this collection. Each film is excellent. I could ramble on about the plot of each movie and what my thoughts are on them, but I imagine that pretty much everyone who's considering purchasing this collection has already seen the films. So, I'll simply end with this: Buy this collection. It's the best price you'll find anywhere, the bonus material is great, and the nostalgia factor is through the roof.

First of all this set is a steal when one dvd costs $20.00 it does not take a genius to know your getting three movies for the price of one.
I love all the movies in this set how could any John Hughes fan not love them.
What memories these movies bring back and I love "getting the cast together" on the Ferris Buller dvd. It was great to see the cast after all this time only Mia Sara and Charlie Sheen were not in the recent interviews.

Brought back so many fond memories (those of us late 30's to early 40's). But to be honest, my 16 yr old loves all three of these too.
