The font from the movie poster or the opening credits?

I'm not a font expert, but putting the movie poster here might help others help you. It feels like an IMPACT style font (again, I'm no expert). Also, it looks like they may have started with one font and tweaked it.

Well, I tried to ID it for you using identifont.com but I can't seem to find the exact match. The closes I can find is "John Sans Condensed Heavy" although the O and D are slightly off.

You should give Identifont a try, it's actually a lot of fun to watch it try to ID a font based on questions about each letter.

Check out the two related links for fonts used in other movies.

Since you seem interested in movie fonts, here is a link to a "Movie Font Quiz" where they show a few letters from a Movie poster and you have to guess which movie it is.

They seem to have found you Ferris, which is a common enough font. You were also asking about other movie fonts, & it's important to remember that many films, unlike Ferris, do not use standard fonts in their titles. They are designed by typographers hired by the studios & thus protected by copyright. So often even if you do find it (or most likely a home-made knockoff) you may not be free to use it if you have any sort of commercial intention. Good fonts are rarely free, so watch out for yourself unless you're just playing around.
