STORY & PHOTOS

One of the most iconic film locations of the 80s is Ferris Bueller's house from "Ferris Bueller's Day Off". Super-charming Ferris fakes sick and takes a super-fun day off with his best friend Cameron and his girlfriend Sloane, and it all starts at Ferris' famous house.

The Bueller house is also the center of the action at the movie's conclusion, when everyone is racing home to try to prove that Ferris wasn't really sick -- and Ferris is racing home to prove them wrong.

Though the film is set in Chicago, in real life the Bueller home is located a bit (a big bit) south, in Long Beach, CA.

In teen movie spoof "Not Another Teen Movie", producers used the Ferris Bueller house as the location of Preston's party, which itself is a spin on the house party from "Risky Business". Here's the house in "Not Another Teen Movie":
