John Hughes. 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off' remains a salient teenage comedy to the modern day, a timeless film that can resonate with each new generation. After all, which kid doesn't dream of playing hookey from school? The film also featured Alan Ruck as the depressive Cameron, Mia Sara as Ferris's sweet girlfriend, Jeffrey Jones as the scheming principal Mr. Ed Rooney and Jennifer Grey as Ferris's bitter sister Jeanie/Shauna.

| One of my favorite Matthew Broderick films is the extremely underrated 'Biloxi Blues', in which he plays a newly drafted soldier sent to Biloxi, Mississippi to receive training during World War II. Upon whose script was this movie based? | The Film History of Matthew Broderick
|
Neil Simon. Once again, Broderick finds himself working in a movie scripted by Neil Simon. This time he plays Eugene Jerome, an army private from New York Ciy misplaced in Biloxi, Mississippi. Broderick's character is based loosely on Neil Simon's personal experience, and he does a wonderful job bringing the character alive. A very notable performance in this film is also turned in by Christopher Walken, who plays the somewhat loopy Sgt. Toomey.
| Broderick not only appeared in 'Family Business' in 1989, but also in the excellent war film 'Glory'. In this film, Matthew plays a young Colonel prepared to lead a legion of black soldiers into battle against the south during the U.S. Civil War. What was his character's name in 'Glory'? | The Film History of Matthew Broderick
|
Robert Shaw. Not only is Broderick's performance of high quality, he is also surrounded by an all-star cast which included Denzel Washington as Private Trip (Oscar winner for 'Best Supporting Actor'), Morgan Freeman as Sergeant Major John Rawlins and Andre Braugher as Corporal Thomas Searles. This is one of the best films I have seen on the American Civil War.
The Cable Guy. 'The Cable Guy' was a very dark comedy, especially so far as Jim Carrey films go. Though it was rather unpopular amongst film fans in general, I found Carrey's performance to be rather amusing. Matthew Broderick does a great job of making Carrey's character look especially creepy with his straight man performance. The film also features Ben Stiller, Janeane Garofalo, Owen Wilson, Andy Dick and Jack Black in supporting roles, making it even more worthy of a look! Thank you for trying this quiz, I hope you enjoyed it and will try more of quizzes in the future.
