What's the geekiest movie you own? - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

TheDave87 · 04-22-2003, 07:09 PM

Just wondering what the geekiest movie everyone owns is... bonus points for owning an obscure cult hit on DVD...

Personally, i'm tied between the Tron collectors DVD and Spaceballs.... soon to add UHF to the list.

Grondar · 04-22-2003, 07:10 PM

I own Alice and Wonderland.

SecretMethod70 · 04-22-2003, 07:15 PM

honestly I don't really own a geeky DVD. I suppose the Island of Dr. Moreau or the Matrix are the closest I come. However I wold like to get the Tron Anniversary edition DVD so I guess that will count once I get it.

World's King · 04-22-2003, 07:17 PM

Either "Toys" or "Big."

These are classics not geeky.

TaLoN · 04-22-2003, 07:27 PM

i have all the movies mentioned above WKings post. i have so many movies i don't know exactly which ones to consider geeky. i like to collect the most novelty movies i can find. if it is weird/crazy i either have it or want it. would "hackers" count as a geeky one?

The_Dude · 04-22-2003, 07:46 PM

jay and silent bob?

way2young · 04-22-2003, 07:48 PM

The Ancient Civilizations box set on dvd....it doesn't get more boring than that!

G_Whiz · 04-22-2003, 07:52 PM

I've got all the above named movies plus about 3 different versions of Bladerunner.

Probably my geekiest is The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension. I have it in 3 formats (VHS, Laser Disk, and DVD).

XtremeSlacker · 04-22-2003, 07:58 PM

TRON, Air Jaws 1 & 2, matrix/matrix revisted, Highlander Immortal Edition, Spawn Director's Cut, Blackhole, Spaceballs, Time Bandits, all on DVD soon to add Akira, Ghost in the Shell, Record Of Lodoss War, and Starblazers entire series (hopefully)

lola218 · 04-22-2003, 08:12 PM

I own ,and have probably watched at least 100 times,the H.P.Lovecraft classic, "From Beyond." How sad is it when you can recite lines from this movie and countless other"B" movies?

phoenix1002 · 04-22-2003, 08:21 PM

Hmm.. how about "The Abyss special edition DVD"
Gotta love the cheesy looking aliens that don't kill us, because they're our friends...

napking · 04-22-2003, 08:24 PM

not quite a movie, but i did order a copy of starcraft cinematics on dvd when i was really drunk this one time.

phredgreen · 04-22-2003, 08:28 PM

heh... up until recently the crown jewel of my collection was ben hur - now i'm happy as hell to have novocaine.. awesome flick.

btw, i've moved this thread to the entertainment forum... let's do our best to post threads in the appropriate forums. thanks.

KillerYoda · 04-22-2003, 08:30 PM

Transformers: The Movie.

A true tear-jerker.

Cynthetiq · 04-22-2003, 09:23 PM

Civil War Box Set by Ken Burns... oooh... geeky.. no nerdy

Reese · 04-22-2003, 11:12 PM

I guess Lost boys and Clerks would be considered Pretty Geeky DVDs.

I also have some of the OLD Disney movies In original cases.

Alot of Abbott and Costello too.. I dont know whats more 'geeky'

KillerYoda · 04-23-2003, 12:21 AM

Not really mine, but I had it in my possession (it was a friends) for a few days:

Mummy Raider: A horrible 45 minute long Tomb Raider themed softcore porn.

Keyword: softcore.

krazykemist · 04-23-2003, 01:59 AM

Hackers 2: Operation Takedown
also Ray Stevens Classic Hits VHS

skinnedmink · 04-23-2003, 03:27 AM

For cult hit I have Evil Dead.

Pure geekness would be Hackers.

BTW is Hackers 2 good?

DonnChadh · 04-23-2003, 03:38 AM

Dune, the Special TV Edition

krazykemist · 04-23-2003, 04:13 AM

skinnedmink- I dont think Hackers 2 is the official name of it. I got it from a friend at a LAN and have since burned to DVD. Its the story of Kevin Mitnick, the infamous Hacker sent to prison that spawned the Free Kevin Campaign. I would not put it in the same category as Hackers or compare them. It doesnt have the lame Hollywood computer hacking effects of Hackers like the computer code walls and such. It does have more realistic elements that can be enjoyed by any old school hacker who ever experiemented with phreaking and the likes. In my opinion an excellent movie to own, especially if your a geek.

TheDave87 · 04-23-2003, 04:47 AM

I think the official name for "Hackers 2" is just Operation: Takedown. at any rate the movie owns.

Rinndalir · 04-23-2003, 12:09 PM

PI.

"12:50 press Return..."

Atropos4 · 04-23-2003, 12:58 PM

Wizard of Oz
I don't consider it geeky , just a classic

apetaster · 04-23-2003, 04:13 PM

That would be The Matrix.

ishkeb · 04-23-2003, 04:46 PM

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles I, II, and III. The first one was good, but they got progressively worse. I saw the third one and bought it, and I haven't even watched it yet, I just had to own it. I have tons of B horror movies, the favorite being Motel Hell, and stuff by Full Moon. I also have lots of anime...thankfully, I didn't buy it, but I have a good friend with a DVD burner who's obsessed with it. Some of those series are expensive, and I don't like spending money.

Scorpio · 04-23-2003, 04:50 PM

Krull! Where else can you find aliens vs. knights????

Silentdreamer · 04-23-2003, 04:56 PM

Stephen King's "IT", I happen to love it...but many would consider it geeky.

sierra2774 · 04-23-2003, 06:56 PM

Feeling Minnesota....It was a walmart special.

Gortexfogg · 04-23-2003, 07:10 PM

Bruce Cambell v. The Army of Darkness: Directers Cut. Yup, that's the geekiest.

Peetster · 04-23-2003, 07:24 PM

geekiest? That's tough.

I have every Disney movie ever released to home theatre. Which means I DON'T have "Song of the South". Uncle Remus as a content slave didn't fit the Disney profile.

tinger · 04-24-2003, 12:37 AM

I'm pretty sure I have all of you beat.

I have the Magic: The Gathering U.S. National Championships from 1998 on video.

As an additional point, I've watched it more than once.

iktoweya · 04-24-2003, 01:45 AM

ummm i have labrynth and the black crystal

K-Billy · 04-24-2003, 04:32 AM

Spaceballs, The Matrix, Revenge of the Nerds II: Nerds in Paradise (whether or not its geeky, it was a terrible movie that no one should have)

paddyjoe · 04-24-2003, 04:55 AM

I have the cartoon version of `How the Grinch Stole Christmas', but I don't have any kids.

onodrim · 04-24-2003, 09:42 AM

I guess Lord of the Rings is the closest thing I own to "geeky." But I wouldn't really call LOTR a geeky movie.

burnhm · 04-24-2003, 09:59 AM

Prob. Groundhog Day or Rudy although tey are two of my faves

eyeronic · 04-24-2003, 10:12 AM

Spawn. The cartoon. Given to me by my brother. I love it, but I hide it behind other movies in my collection. Just a bit too geeky.

diergray · 04-24-2003, 01:36 PM

Free Enterprise. The movie is hysterical. Definitely worth a rent.
