What's the geekiest movie you own?
 

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.

I own Alice and Wonderland.

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.

Either "Toys" or "Big."

These are classics not geeky.

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?

jay and silent bob?

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

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).

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)

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?:o

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

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

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.

Transformers: The Movie.

A true tear-jerker.

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

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'

HERCULES IN NEW YORK
Biggest Crap Fest since the last one.

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.

Hackers 2: Operation Takedown
also Ray Stevens Classic Hits VHS

For cult hit I have Evil Dead.

Pure geekness would be Hackers.

BTW is Hackers 2 good?

Dune, the Special TV Edition

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.

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

PI.

"12:50 press Return..."

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

That would be The Matrix.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

ummm i have labrynth and the black crystal

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)

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

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

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

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.

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

Logan's Run, Barbarella, Space Balls, UHF, The Black Hole... I could go on.

I have the entire Black Adder series on dvd as well as every Farscape DVD that has come out. Yeah, I'm a geek.

all of my movies are geeky. i'm a geek. it's a fact.

Define geeky. I have many that my friends would never admit to owning :rolleyes: Such as:

Battlefield Earth, Dark City, V - The Original Series



Some that other TFPers have said:

Matirx, LotR

KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park

mm... got everything dave's got... spaceballs isn't geeky... its FUNNY... also, Office Space probably has to be the finest tribute to all geekiness... and I only use DVD.

The TV Miniseries 'V' on DVD

Hmmmm,

Geekiest?

I'll let you guys figure it out:

-Beauty and the Beast (the Disney version)
-Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
-Ken Burns' Baseball

The thread title says "geekiest," but a lot of the ones on the list don't seem geeky.

Personally, I own a copy of "The Jetsons Movie" because it came free with something.

DING!! DING!! DING!! We have a winner! And I though my Hercules in New York was bad! ;)

I own Tank Girl, Spaceballs and Big Trouble in Little China. All classy movies.

I have a Shriley Temple DVD and a Little Rascals DVD. I wept when i opened them thinking I had gotten something like Lawrence of Arabia or Sparticus. But no. I get Shriley Temple and the Little Rascals instead.

TRON :)

Hackers, Sneakers, Natural Born Killers: Driector's Cut, Spaceballs, Empire Records, Dazed and Confuzed, anything Disney, Metro, all the Star Wars, all the Kevin Smith movies, The Dirty Dozen, etc. the list goes on and on to the goofy movies I own....


Oh, and I have Elmopalooza and a couple of other Sesame Street DVD's for my daughter...

I just picked up SW Original Trilogy Widescreen Collector's Edition on laserdisc. :)

I have all three as well. Spawn ownz!! :D

I think Magic:World championship wins though.

So many movies I need to buy....

2001: A Space Odyssey

I own a copy of "Killer Klownz From Outer Space".

"Office Space"... damn those TPS reports

UHF and Pi.

I'm sitting here reading the replies and thinking to myself, "got it, got it, need it, want it, got it, got it, got it... What the hell did Tinger just say???"

Seriously though, I think you just won man.

My geek movies, and I classify them thus for the fact that I was waiting in the store for them to unpack them the first day they were released, are the Flint movies. (in like flint/our man flint). Course, I do have the G.I. Joe movie to go with my transformers as well, but that's more nostalgia than anything else.

Wargames

i would have to say "kill the man"

Pi, which has been mentioned, but the geekiest movie I own is Disney's "The Black Hole." According to my gf, that I like that movie is the geekiest thing about me. I should tell her about the Magic championship video.

Re: What's the geekiest movie you own?
 

"The Wizard of Speed and Time" on DVD, definitely.

Labyrinth- you the movie starring David Bowie & Jennifer Connelly

Vampire Hunter D- its anime for the people who don't know

Suburban Commando - with Hulk Hogan, Christopher Lloyd & Shelley Duvall...

those count?

I'd kill to have the complete Farscape collection, I loved that show, I just can't seem to find it on the air anymore...

Angel Season One DVD...

I have many of the movies listed above (it's incredible how many of you have UHF!) plus the following IMHO geeky movies:
Timecode (bought for the cool concept and have yet to actually watch)
Dragon's Lair I & II "playable" DVDs
Hick Trek: The Moovie ($5 at Walmart. And not worth it.)
plus many, many more.

All three teenage mutant ninja turtle movies

not reall y a movie, but i have Aeon Flux on DVD.

Is this geekiest or lamest dvds?

Geeky would I suppose be
Pi
Cube
Evil Dead Trilogy
er, 9 Transformers dvds
Hackers (although this could go under lame)
The Neverending Story (also borderline lame)

I'm not at all ashamed to have these in my collection. However, the lame ones are a different story.

*cough* pokemon movie trilogy *cough* :p


Actually on the geeky note, I suppose if you've seen Hackers and The Matrix enough times to know them almost word for word, that could be considered uber geeky.

Metropolis. Old silent movie from the thirties. Good stuff.

Logans Run

Playmate of the Apes. Great softcore movie with even better acting!

Freejack, Pump up the voulume, and Innocent blood are the three worse in my collection.

Not couting Harry Potter I and II, I like them.

Pearl Harbor
Armageddon

...I know I know, they were X-mas gifts!

i have just visiting on dvd... never watched it... it looks so stupid :/
anti trust is kinda geeky, titan ae is geeky..

star wars, short circuit, and ninja turtles ( 1 and 2... 3 is missing)

I just ordered Ghostbusters 1 & 2 on dvd, and i want to get cableguy and liar liar

TMNT 1,2,3 all of VHS :D
I have Hackers (burnt onto a CD)
I have two superman Cartoon videos(3 cartoons on each)
Spaceballs
:D

i have a scooby doo movie... but it sucks... (not The Movie) the old show was the best

OK, the geekiest movie I want is "M" (Peter Lorre in German. And you thought he was creepy in English.) Also on the geek wish list are the "Life Of Mammals" Boxed set, the Terry Jones "Crusades" Series (if I can ever find it), "What's Up Tiger Lily?", and "Kelly's Heros".

The geekiest Movie I have has got to be "Searching for Bobby Fisher". "Krull" has got to be a close second, though, and "Dark Star" and "Outland" are up there too.

Also exceptionally geeky: The entire run of Star Trek TOS on VHS, Red Dwarf, The Man Who Would Be King. Rikki Tikki Tavi (on VHS - Chuck Jones owned Kipling!), All of the Monty Python TV shows, plus the Life of Python and the Python Live and all three feature films, Excalibur, Disney's Black Cauldron, Midnight Madness, The Bakshi Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, and the Return of the King, both versions of Dune, Watership Down, Akira in the metal box, and the Kurosawa Criterion four pack.

I have UHF

I own Waiting for Guffman, a Christopher Guest movie. It's really only funny to people who have actually been involved in small-town high school/community theater. I also just saw A Mighty Wind, and I'll probably buy that too. Other than that ... I have the first two seasons of Mad About You on DVD. I like the show, but I'm a dude and it's in syndication on Lifetime...

Speaking of Christopher Guest, I got Best in Show, the dog show mockumentary. And doesn't anyone else own Pee-wee's Big Adventure?

I own Transformers Seasons one and two.

I just wish they'd the the complete Super Friends. How I miss Saturday mornings....

That is not geeky!! That's the classic. It's available on DVD??

Weekdays, midnight to 01:00ET, on SciFi.

i think i have you all beat... *laughing*

drumroll...

Barney's Grand Adventure
his first full-length feature movie i might add :D

dont tell anyone, but I have a copy of "everafter"

he-man

The geekiest in my collection? Wargames or Hackers, then again my Transformers Box Sets are probably the winnah!

Abyss SE is a good one though. Much better than the version shown on the big screen.

Damn, I have a TON of geeky movies, including Hackers, Tron, Krull, Wargames, Brazil, Time Bandits, Best in Show, Evil Dead Trilogy, Re-Animator, Ice Pirates, Transformers, Flash Gordon, Flesh Gordon, and just about everything else listed here (excepting M:TG Tourney footage, kudos).

I think my geekiest movie by far is...

Chinese Hercules. On DVD.

Yes, Chinese Hercules. I'm a BIG fan of Bolo Yeung (one of the big mean bad guys in ALMOST every kung fu movies in the 80's-early 90's) and to see him playing a good guy is always a treat. :)

For american release films, I think my Xanadu DVD tops my list of cheezy/geeky movies.

Jason

Hmm, Pee Wee Under the Bigtop, Willy Wonka original VHS and Willy Wonka 30th Anniversary DVD...The last two aren't exactly geeky...it's the Willy Wonka tattoo I'm designing for the back of my neck that makes it a little strange.

The geekiest movie I own is probably "Monty Python and the Holy Grail". Not something a lot of girls I know are into. Still, it reminds me of my days as a band geek, and I'm sorry, but Monty Python still and always will rock.
:)

Surf Ninjas, baby

UHF with Weird Al Yankovic, classic geek film

Are you kidding? Pump up the Volume is a classic. Talk Hard and all that.

No one has Cabin Boy or the Get a Life discs/tapes? I do. But I think the worst is probably Glitter. Brilliant stuff there.

and a copy of wedding singer

Highlander 2 and Excalibur. I'm so ashamed!!!

Mønti Pythøn ik den Hølie Gräilen :D :D :D
