Top 10 Geek Movies

This is an entirely subjective top 10 list. Feel free to disagree and post your alternative list as a comment. Itll be fun!

Most Top 10 Geek Movies lists are all about movies geeks love. If we did it that way, our list would be very different and include movies like Aeon Flux, Serenity, Sin City, and Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Instead, our choices were based on movies about geeks.

Note: This Brief was originally produced for PodShow.com downtime while they upgraded their servers, hence the slightly different opening.

10. Weird Science

9. Ghost World

8. The Goonies

7. Office Space

6. Real Genius

5. War Games

4. Sneakers

3. Antitrust

2. Primer

1. Pirates of Silicon Valley

It was difficult narrowing down our choices. We wanted to distinguish between nerds, geeks and characters who are just really intelligent. We actually got kinda sad about having to leave some movies off the list. Some we considered and left off are A Beautiful Mind, Rushmore, Good Will Hunting, The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, The Net, Fight Club, and Flatliners. Another movie we considered, of course, was Hackers. We didnt add it to the list was because its been soooo long since weve seen it.
