Geek movies which belong in everyone's collection.
« on: July 24, 2007, 06:57:15 PM »
I'm curious to see what we can come up with.  If you have a favourite movie that might be appreciated by the geek subculture, obvious or obscure; please post it here.  Hopefully we can come up with a few good ones that you haven't seen before and your next trip to the rental store/Netflix will be worthwhile.

I'll start off with some that I like...
Anti-Trust; Fat Man and Little Boy; The Matrix Trilogy; Office Space; Track Down; Tron; and War Games. 

Anyone else?

Nope. So far I've got 'em all!

Here's a few, there's some repeats:

Gladiator
300
Monty Python And The Holy Grail
The Lord Of The Rings Trilogy
Braveheart
Rob Roy
Johnny Mnemonic
The Matrix Trilogy
Anti Trust
Swordfish
Hackers
Pirates Of The Caribbean Trilogy
The Jacket
Starship Troopers
Waiting
Dungeons And Dragons
Dungeons And Dragons II: Wrath Of The Dragon God
Serenity
Spaceballs

And that's about all I can see for now. I'm just looking over and posting whatever I see in the case first!

A beautiful mind

Great movie. I know it wasn't necessarily suggested but I couldn't help but think of a 'fine line between madness and genius' being at play here where, under the volcanic pressure of intense thought, either one could force the other to the surface.

just my 2ยข.
