Geek movies
I took today off and relaxed, watching a few movies. Somewhere during the day, I realized that two of the three DVDs I rented could be categorized as “geek movies”, or having special significance to persons of heightened technological skills, so I’ve decided to make a list of what I consider to be the ultimate geek movies. Feel free to add any you think I might have missed.
- All the Star Wars films
- All the Star Trek films
- The Matrix trilogy
- Monty Python and the Holy Grail
- Monty Python’s Life of Brian
- Monty Python’s the Meaning of Life
- The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy
- Real Genius
- Weird Science
- Tron
- The Last Starfighter
- Sneakers
- War Games
- Pirates of Silicon Valley
- Antitrust
That’s all I can think of off the top of my head. Can you add more?

“Prime Risk” from the mid-80s about near financial meltdown. Involved some computers and hacking. Not a well-known film, but certainly geeky.

Cali Lewis at GeekBrief thought of a few I hadn’t.
