  1. Worse Than You Think

    Ferris Bueller's Day Off Made $70 Million. Cameron Paid for All of It

  2. Worse Than You Think

    Planes, Trains and Automobiles Is Worse Than You Think. Neal Was Right

    John Hughes's Thanksgiving classic has a 93% and a place on every family's holiday menu. It's also a long ad for being stuck next to the wrong guy.

    Home Alone Made $476 Million. It's Still a Missing-Child Case With Paint Cans

    The 1990 hit held a box-office record for 21 years. It's also about a family that loses a child, and a child who tortures burglars.
