Ferris Bueller is different enough that it almost doesn't count as a John Hughes film, because it's devoid of that you-have-to-be-16 factor.

I recently saw Sixteen Candles for the first time and heartily recommend it; it's vintage Hughes but also manages to be full of (very funny) surprises. Also has an unrecognisably young and very underused John Cusack, and Joan Cusack being very funny with I think not a single line. Pretty in Pink is actually quite annoying, but the (unintended) hideousness of her prom dress is I think one of those essential cultural touchstones.
