WOF: What's your favorite 'geek' movie of all time?
Our question for you today is simple: What's your favorite geek movie of all time? It doesn't need to be strictly related to computers -- fans of science fiction, comedy, fantasy, superhero, documentary or whatever genres are welcome. A few examples to get you started: Sneakers, Pirates of Silicon Valley, and Office Space.

Got something to say? Post a comment-
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.
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.

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.

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. 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
-
Event Horizon was creepy; the whole thing Sam Neill had going on with his eyes was freaky!
As for the Matrix, has anyone seen The Thirteenth Floor? It had a very similar concept that was also a tad more interesting IMHO.

OK. I had to go find it.. but another funny Bill Paxton line from the movie (the brother talking to the two "geeks"
"You two donkey-dicks couldn't get laid in a morgue." -
Mystery Science Theater 3000. The movie and the series.
-
Wow, am I out of touch, I thought that was Courtney Cox
It's a guy in medieval times in a hole who bit the heads of chickens man!There...I hope you're happy now!I thought it was somebody who farts in the bathtub and bites the bubbles. No wait, that's a "Gorp"...... -

Nope, The scene on the Genesis planet where Kirk kicks Christopher Lloyd of a cliff saying, "I HAVE ...HAD...ENOUGH.... OF YOU....!!! Man, that's the defining moment in Shattner's careen..! Oops, I meant career.

It would be good to have a movie-mix of Tron, Star Wars and Space Oddissey, plus a bit of vamparies touch to give it 'colour'. Ah! and an alien-predator type would be just the top of the cake. Has anybody hear of such a movie?? :-))

If you're willing to substitute Austria for deep space and bad music for the sentient computer there's always this
I'd say... National Treasure..
