loco.cerveza 0 #1 March 18, 2008 Well, here is something to think about, I was just talking to a friend and we are thinking about setting up a Nerd Movie/ T.V. Night. I night that a few friends get together and watch movies/ T.V. shows that reflect our inner nerd. Weather it be gun nerd stuff computer nerd stuff, or what have you. Lets face it, we all have an inner nerd, I do not care if it is a skydiving nerd, science nerd, computer nerd, gun nerd, or even a sports nerd, we all have that inner nerd. It got me to thinking what are my top ten general nerd movies/ T.V. Shows. So I figured I would list them. My top 10 Nerd Movies / T.V. Shows 10) Tron 09) Star Trek TNG 08) Sneakers 07) X-files 06) Hackers 05) The Lone Gunmen 04) WarGames 03) Star Trek DS9 02) V for Vendetta 01) Blade RunnerRemember that expectant life span is an average, and most people are below average --Garrison Keillor Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also, no anime on your list.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I did think about 2001: A Space Odyssey, but I enjoyed the movie, but I liked the book much better. I am an anime fan, but I simply forget to think about it in making my list.Remember that expectant life span is an average, and most people are below average --Garrison Keillor Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BillyVance 34 #13 March 19, 2008 Time Bandits was one of my favorites, and the Last Starfighter was a fun movie to watch. Hey does anybody remember Buckaroo Banzai - Across the Fifth Dimension? That was a weird one. Has anyone mentioned Weird Science?

Jeff.Donohue 0 #18 March 19, 2008 That was a good line. But my favorite: Mission Control Operator: Buckaroo, the White House wants to know is everything OK with the alien space craft from Planet 10 or should we just go ahead and destroy Russia? Buckaroo Banzai: Tell him yes on one and no on two. Mission Control Operator: Wait... Ummm... Which one was yes, go ahead and destroy Russia... or number 2?

I don't remember the lines but he and his comrade were in their spacecraft when the comrade tells him something and Lloyd gives him an emphatic birdie behind his back. I don't remember much else. It's been at least 20 years since I saw the movie, but I remember it cracked me up."Mediocre people don't like high achievers, and high achievers don't like mediocre people." - SIX TIME National Champion coach Nick Saban Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
