Nerd Media

[Cyrian]

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?

[RavenMiles]

Fan boys, Space balls, lotr, Bladerunner, Logan's run, The black hole, Ice pirates, and any thing Star wars. This is just a few, dork movies.

[Cyrian]

Fanboys was a absolute classic as soon as it was released, Id definitely recommend that to any Star Wars fan.

While not super nerdy, Idiocracy has a special place in my collection

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 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!"

Constantine

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

Grave of Fireflies

This one made me      , and I've never been able to muster up the courage for a repeat viewing, but it's a fine piece of art.

[Rumze]

I know XD constantine the movie doesnt compare to the comics at all! And grave of fireflies is very

"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!     

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

Oh my, I havent thought about Tank Girl in ages. I must add that to my collection.
