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.

  1. All the Star Wars films
  2. All the Star Trek films
  3. The Matrix trilogy
  4. Monty Python and the Holy Grail
  5. Monty Python’s Life of Brian
  6. Monty Python’s the Meaning of Life
  7. The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy
  8. Real Genius
  9. Weird Science
  10. Tron
  11. The Last Starfighter
  12. Sneakers
  13. War Games
  14. Pirates of Silicon Valley
  15. 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.
