11 June 1986 saw the cinema release of ‘Ferris Bueller’s Day Off,’ and 30 years on it’s still one of the best-loved comedies of its decade. ‘Ferris Bueller’ was the fourth film from writer-director John Hughes, following on from 1984′s ‘16 Candles,’ and 1985′s ‘The Breakfast Club’ and ‘Weird Science,’ and it marked the culmination of the 80s icon’s run of teen-oriented comedy hits.
