Title: Nerd Media

Hey everyone, I figured I'd chuck this thread up here for everyone who is a P&P Roleplayer at heart.  If you haven't yet seen, The Gamers: Dorkness  Rising from Dead Gentlemen Productions, you really need to.  These guys are top notch and are hilarious in a perfectly nerdy way.  You can find it on Netflix if you want the easy way, if not, Google it  ;)   

Any other nerd flick ideas?

I'm kinda taking this to mean movies nerds and geeks would like.

Let's see..

Role Models- Two guys doing community service with kids involved in LARPing. Funny and touching.

Chocolate- (foreign/subtitled) on Netflix streaming. An 12 year old autistic ninja straight out of Tekken. Has the best beatdowns I've ever seen on film. With no stunt doubles.

Secret of Kells- gorgeous 2D animation, really magical. On Netflix I think.

Troll Hunter- (Norweigan, subtitled) Netflix streaming. Fake documentary done in the style of Cloverfield. Kinda cool and compelling. We watched it a week ago and I'm still thinking about it.

I hope people post more. I need ideas for new movies to watch. >.>

Well if you are looking for movies nerds will like, how about these:

Kung fu Hustle
Hot Fuzz
Grave of Fireflies
Sky captain and the world of tomorow
Big Fish
Dodge Ball

I tend to have a lot more cartoons and series boxsets, but our movie collection at home is all over the place due to different tastes.

I always have to bring up "The Specials" on these types of threads. One of my all-time favorite movies "for the oddball, the rebel, the outcast, the geek!"

I think true nerds will always shun the movie in favor of the comic.  O0

"Tank Girl". It's a very silly movie, but Lori Petty is so brilliantly zany that she brings the comic book character to life perfectly.

I concur!  O0  O0  O0

I recently redownloaded that movie. She is so awesome and hot too. I love the character and how well she does her.
