Comments on: Top 20 Geek Movies of All Time https://www.themovieblog.com/2008/01/top-20-geek-movies-of-all-time/ The Correct Opinion Thu, 31 Jan 2008 15:28:18 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: sngbk https://www.themovieblog.com/2008/01/top-20-geek-movies-of-all-time/#comment-118347 Thu, 31 Jan 2008 15:28:18 +0000 http://themovieblog.com/2008/01/top-20-geek-movies-of-all-time#comment-118347 Sneakers is a notable omission. I agree with the others who said Monty Python.

And who says Hackers is not quotable? Every heard anyone say “hack the planet?” Not that it’s a great movie, I can see it being bumped from the list by some of these other films being mentioned.

The degree that you go to in order to incorporate the film into your life is what makes you a geek. I like Star Wars, but not enough to wait in line for months. I like LOTR, but I don’t run around with the One Ring around my neck. I have no problem with people being passionate about film. God knows I love film, but some folks take it a little too far.

I suppose Tron does, but I don’t actually like it, so I don’t give a toss about that.

Good to see the arty sci-fis – 2001 and BR – taking the top spots. They can take on Star Wars any day.

No. 29 has a point about The Fifth Element. Luc Besson FTW.

Robocop, Total Recall, Starship Troopers.

they’re meant to be what a character said. not what you think they said.

turn in your magic decoder ring. your geek status has been revoked.

I have no idea why Hackers is. I notice there isn’t ONE John Carpenter film (not even “They Live”!) but y’know something, Rodney? There is one film on this list that caught my eye.

Pirates Of Silicon Valley

Not only was it a well acted and well written film, not only did it star Anthony Michael Hall as a young Bill Gates, not only did it have the re-enactment of the Ridley Scott “1984”-ish classic superbowl commercial, but…you, and I, damn wel know ListVerse must be the ultimate in Geekdom for listing this TV movie which first aired on cable (TNT).

If you havent seen it yet.. check out
the bbs documentary

if you want to see what geek life was like in the oldschool and in the real. This has to be the geekiest movie ever made.
Anyway, thought some of you would get a kick out of it.
