Oh the irony behind this unforgettable scene between Charlie Sheen and Jennifer Grey in John Hughes film 1986 classic, Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Searching for "Charlie Sheen in Ferris Bueller" images, I realize I'm obviously not the only blogger to point that out.
Jennifer Grey and Charlie Sheen first worked together in the I-hope-this-never-really-happens movie, Red Dawn. Red Dawn -- which by the way was the first PG-13 movie I had ever seen in 1984 -- is said to be the very first PG-13 movie ever released.
I was never never much of a Charlie Sheen fan. I never had an interest in manly-style movies like Platoon. Though I did insist on seeing Red Dawn because of my Tommy Howell obsession. What a cast Red Dawn had! Anyway, here's a little 1980s Charlie Sheen for ya, enjoy!

My friend had a Tiger Beat crush on Charlie Sheen back in his Ferris Bueller days. I never understood it. - G
I'd forgotten about him in Red Dawn...but definitely not in Ferris Bueller. Thanks for the clips!
I had forgotten about his role on Ferris Bueller!
I do remember him in Bueller but not Red Dawn. I never really had crushes on any of the major teen idols back then but looking back C. Thomas Howell, John Taylor and Matt Dillon might've been 3 that I went ga-ga over in the 80's.
Both of those movies are classics in my eyes.
Other than Ferris Bueller's Day Off, I think Mr. Sheen is usually the weakest link in any movie he's in. Especially so for Platoon. That movie had 6 or 7 nominations for awards, but Mr. Sheen was panned for his acting job.
Ferris Bueller's Day Off is one of my favorite 80s movies and I had totally forgotten about his bad boy scene in that.
I've never been a big fan of his either. Bad Boy. Bad Boy.
I remember all those movies well. Oh Charlie, what has become of you? *sigh*
He was SO CUTE in LUCAS!!!!!!!
Oh, I so forgot about Ferris Bueller! How fantastic.
I never forgot that role...life imitates art?
I have to agree with the critics and most of the posters... I don't think he's ever been a very good actor. I think he got a bit of a free ride being Martin's son. his lines on 2 1/2 men always seem unemotional and forced. It is sad to be witnessing his self-inflicted public demise...
I thought he was only high on a drug called Charlie Sheen. I had forgotten about this scene. Too funny.
He's come full circle again to the Ferris Bueller character.
Ferris Bueller is a classic...
