10 Best Times Star Wars Appeared In Other Movies

4. Ferris Bueller's Day Off

Ferris Bueller's Day Off Star Wars Joyride
Paramount Pictures

Ferris Bueller's Day Off is one of the most rewatchable movies ever, and can effortlessly put a smile on your face whenever you sit down for another viewing.

It's also a treat for Star Wars fans, with one of the most memorable moments in the movie featuring a hysterical nod to the franchise's famous music.

The moment in question sees two parking attendants going for a joyride in Cameron's dad's Ferrari. Soaring through the air in slow motion, their epic leap is scored with John Williams' main Star Wars theme tune, which then carries on playing as they hit the ground and drive off into the distance.

It's among the most iconic moments in any John Hughes movie - which is saying something, considering the guy's incredible filmography - primarily because John Williams' music makes everything it touches a thousand times better.
