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. |

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.

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).

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?

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'

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.

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.

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