Top 10 Geek Movies

Geek Movies are a must for any geek, and to accomodate the geek tendency to seek order in any chaos, ListWoo offers the opportunity to rate the Top 10 Geek Movies and thereby once and for all award the champion title to the best geek movie ever produced.

If you find yourself giggling in the movie theater when the actors on the big screen talk "science", then chances are, that you are a geek - or at least love a good geek movie. Geek movies can be traced back to 1969 and "2001: A Space Odyssey", which does not even qualify as a real geek movie, because of its widespread recognition as the inventor of the sci-fi genre. Since then each year has seen its own attempts to produce a geeky movie that satisfies both nerd and general audience - some more succesful than others - and some of the movies have become cult. Put on your geek glasses and take a look at this list of geeky classics - which one is your favorite?
