Inspired by last week's John Hughes discussion, we at Flixwise have decided to do a whole series of episodes focusing on teen movies. Each installment in the series will feature a Flixwise panelist pitching their favorite teen movie for inclusion list in the Flixwise Favorites List. Then the roundtable will carefully weigh the faults and merits of said film, to determine if it is worthy of inclusion in the rarefied collection of the Flixwise pantheon.

Participating in the panel are Lady P, Emma Guerard, and Andy Theiss (making his Flixwise debut.) Since the series was inspired by John Hughes, we felt it only appropriate that he should lead off the discussion. So for our first entry in our teen moviethon, Andy Theiss makes the case for why SIXTEEN CANDLES is the Greatest Teen Movie of All Time.

Let us know if you find Andy's argument persuasive. And stay tuned to see if your favorite teen flick makes the cut.
