jake ryan 4 ever

I need your help. 

I'm in the midst of a little sisterly disagreement.    A topic (of the utmost importance, of course) came up for discussion today and it seems that my sister and I are on two different sides of an issue. 

What is this pressing controversy, you ask?  No, no...not health care reform or defense spending. Not Team Jen or Team Angelina. And not whether it's appropriate to wear white after Labor Day.

Something much more important. This. Is. Serious.

Which is the superior 80's movie: Teen Witch or Sixteen Candles? 






OR









I know, it's ridiculous to even ask the question.  Sixteen Candles is clearly the superior movie.  Unfortunately, my sister - bless her heart - is under the mistaken impression that Teen Witch is a better movie.  Even more regrettably, a substantial majority of our friends responding on Facebook have agreed with her.  Blasphemy! 

Blog friends, I need your opinions.  Tell it to me straight. Which is the better movie - Sixteen Candles or Teen Witch? 

If you love Louise & Madame Serena and you're on Team Teen Witch, shout it out in the comments.  (Top that!)

If you're on Team John Hughes (RIP) and heart Jake Ryan, cast your vote for Sixteen Candles. 

Please help us settle this oh-so-important question once and for all! 

(If you've never seen either of these movies and think I've lost my ever lovin' mind, leave a comment and tell me your favorite 80's movie.  If you're a youngin' and haven't seen any 80's movies - take a hike.  Kidding!)

Although i've seen both of these movies... I'm gonna have to go with The Goonies on this one. I could still watch that movie over and over and over

Rebecca said...

Sixteen Candles. Hands Down.

Laura said...

I have to admit...I was a huge Teen Witch fan! By far my favorite! Don't hate me! Lol

The Porche?
The Hair?
The Clothes?

16 Candles. Duh.

Jen Watts said...

Sixteen Candles!! No contest!

Long Duck Dong quotes are the best :)

Sixteen Candles hands down!

Nat said...

Sixteen Candles hands down. No questions asked. Ohh did I love me some Jake Ryan...

Katie said...

omg.. obviously the correct answer is Sixteen Candles!

Rebekah said...

Ok, I love both, but Sixteen Candles is the best. Hands down!!

The Sister said...

Teen Witch is by far the superior movie. If you get Molly Ringwald to sing "Top That", I'd reconsider. Little known Teen Witch fact...sadly, Louise didn't really get the guy in the end. Brad and Randa are married in Real Life.

Hands down Jake Ryan wins.
Sixteen Candles. :)

Polish and Pearls said...

Sixteen candles is definitely the winner on this one...although I have to admit, I own Teen Witch, and watch it on the regular- "So top THAT!" (lol, the rapping scene is so hilariously cheesy)

I cannot believe my grandmother actually felt me up!

Sixteen Candles. Clearly.

But I also love The Breakfast Club :)

Kristen said...

Sixteen Candles for sure.

I have never even heard of Teen Witch?!?

Norseman said...

Hands down, The Goonies

Samma said...

Teen Witch based on sheer weirdness and my intense love of makeover movies!

I know I'm a little late to the party, I can't believe this is even a question! Sixteen Candles HANDS DOWN!!! Molly Ringwald and John Hughes ARE 80's movies!!

Sugar & Spice said...

Sixteen Candles!! No doubt about it!

Katie McD said...

sixteen candles ALL THE WAY : ) Teen witch was good but not superior!

Sara said...

SIXTEEN CANDLES. Love me some Jake Ryan.

To be fair, I've never seen Teen Witch! I'm adding it to my Netflix cue pronto and will report back. I highly doubt it would top 16 Candles though...great movie!

Cindy said...

Sixteen Candles without a doubt!!

amy (metz) walker said...

Want me to blow your mind? I never saw either one of these growing up. I may just have to rent them now to see what they are all about!

Christine said...

This is tough, but I've gotta give it to 16 Candles! Simply b/c I heart Jake Ryan too! :)

vickdn said...

Never saw 16 candles... but teen witch was one of my FAVORITE movies growing up! I didn't know that anyone else knew about it! I used to want to be Louise! Loved the "Top That" part :) Great memories :)

Definitely TEEN WITCH! and can I just say that I am soooo glad that I am not the only one obsessed with this movie!

Tiffany said...

I'm late to the polling party because I was out of town and away from Google Reader but I just had to come back and comment on this because...DUH! 16 Candles is FAR superior. Sorry sister! :)
