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.

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?

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?

For cult hit I have Evil Dead.

Pure geekness would be Hackers.

BTW is Hackers 2 good?

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
