Another tough choice.

Not voting in this one. I don't think I saw "Sixteen Candles" and never heard of (or forgot) "Real Genius" Is Candles one of those Molly Ringworm movies?

You were into that chick with the funny haircut, yeah?

Didn't realize, for the longest time, that this is the same chick that was Anthony Edwards' nerd-love interest in the first "Revenge of the Nerds" movie. I am going to deliberate on this one for a while. A tough choice.

Real Genius had its moments, but Sixteen Candles is the better of the two.

I like "16 Candles." And look for a really young John Cusack as one of the geeks.

Gotta love Sixteen Candles. "Dong [clap, clap] where is ... my automobile?"

Ultimately the math-nerd college savant bringing down the MIC and thwarting space missles struck closer to home for me than the hapless geeks of Sixteen Candles, prom-queen-dorking Anthony Michael Hall notwithstanding.

Sixteen Candles. And not only because my wife was a dead ringer for the lovely Ms. Ringwald when we met.

I saw 16 Candles a long time ago and remember it being a pretty good movie, but I really don't remember much about it now. Pretty sure that I have never seen Real Genius. On that basis, I shall abstain from voting in this bracket.

Seventeen for 16, 4 for Real Genius
