Tonight, partake in the ultimate Throwback Thursday by reliving the cinematic shenanigans of Chicago's favorite high school slacker and attempt not to recite the famous line: "Bueller?… Bueller?… Bueller?" 

Venkman's, located at 740 Ralph McGill Boulevard, will host a free screening of the Matthew Broderick comedy "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" at 9 tonight.

The free movie screening kicks off the venue's monthlong free movie series dedicated to 1980s comedies celebrating their 30th birthday this year, including "Three Amigos," which will air at 8 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 11 and "Pretty in Pink," airing on Aug. 18, according to Venkman's Facebook page.

Venkman's Facebook page touts: "Thursdays in August, Venkman's will be screening some of the FUNNEST FILMS to come out of the year of our lord 1900-and-86!"
