WOF: What's your favorite 'geek' movie of all time?

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Transformers or Stargate yet (or maybe they have and I just missed it. Sneakers is one of my all time favorite geek movies.

@grvalderrama - Eagle Eye wasn't a geek movie.

Gotta go with Office Space.

"PCLOADLETTER! WTF does that mean?!"

War Games and of course 2001: a Space Odyssey

Anyone seen "Primer?" Probably the most confusing movie ever written, but it was pretty good, once you understand it, and definitely a geek movie.

I still think that everybody's confusing movies that are popular with geeks, and geek movies.

As I said before, using the current criterion in applying the term "geek movie", "Avatar" would have to be the biggest geek movie of all time. I mean really, boys and girls, it's almost frame for frame ripped from "Fern Gully", an animated feature with ecology as a central theme. Oh, and there's also the little thing about displacing the native population. Social conscience raised to an interplanetary scale, that's geeky, no doubt about it.

You'll have to excuse me now, I have to go hug a tree three solar systems away.

Oh, there's also the comic book fantasy of assuming a much more powerful alter ego, when confronted with a personal feeling of inadequacy. That's textbook geek.

Dark City, Tron, Real Genius, 2001: A Space Oddysey & its low-budget sequel, Hackers, The Matrix series, Ghost In The Shell, Pi, eXistenZ, Minority Report, Appleseed, Cypher, A Scanner Darkly & Akira are a few that come to mind.

I don't quite consider Star Wars being a geek movie. Sure, it'd fit the Star Wars universe as a whole, but not the movies per se.

Primer was amazing! The shoestring budget isn't that evident, and the story and direction are astounding, to say the least. I needed to watch it at least 3 times before I started understanding what was going on.

well has anybody mentioned The Italian Job yet.. its one of my favorites likewise snearkers, hackers, n many more..

My favourite movie is The Matrix, since it seems very probable to me that we do live in a simulator (look up "digital physics" to see the growing number of physicists who have come to this conclusion).

How about DUNE. I even have the crappy Sci Fi channel remake.

Definitely Real Genius and Office Space.

Starship Troopers

The original Andromeda Strain

Rage, what is an "Ewok", if not a fur geek? And lest we forget, Cee 3Pio.

Well if we are going to open the category up like that....Event Horizon!
Best Sci-fi space horror ever!

Ah, but who could forget 2001: A Space Odyssey? Or maybe 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind'? Those are both up there near the top as well

I forgot about 2001 and HAL

Actually, I suppose that "Kick a**" could be considered a geek movie. At least to the extent that all social outcast, coming of age, teen oriented, social misfit genre movies, are aimed at those of us who could be deemed , "geek worthy".

I waiting for somebody to jump in and offer a definition of the term, "geek", so we could argue about that for a while.

The wind up...and the pitch...

It's a guy in medieval times in a hole who bit the heads of chickens man!:haha::wave: There...I hope you're happy now!

How about a movie about geeks??! Weird Science by John Hughes. I always laughed

Geeks with their Frankenstein-ish creation of Kelly Le Brock as their perfect woman. "She's alive!"

"How bout a greasy pork sandwich served in a dirty ashtray?" :haha:

That was Kelley Brockman Lookin?

HaHa. I think Bill Paxton in the movie had some of the best lines

Hmmm.. i can't insert images but Kelly LeBrock in Weird Science as she first appeared after being "created" by the geeks
