The Best Geek Movies of All Time

It’s quite a wonderful time to be alive as a geek. Everything that people considered lame and nerdy a couple of decades back, has suddenly made it to the mainstream and become the new normal. With the rapid evolution of technology, we’ve also come to accept as a society that being tech-savvy and fascinated with technology is now a good thing.

With geeks becoming more and more popular, some movies in recent and not-so-recent history have been far more widely accepted to watch. Where some might have been too futuristic or unrealistic at the time they were released, we’ve now broadened our horizons and accepted that the potential for the future is, in fact, limitless.

And since we’re all still mostly in lockdown, here’s a few incredible geek movies that you can watch.

Terminator 2: Judgment Day

The ultimate geek movie is Terminator 2: Judgment Day. It has pretty much everything a geek could want: Arnold Schwarzenegger at his prime, robots, over-the-top action, a storyline involving rogue AI and the apocalypse, … There hasn’t been a movie so gloriously perfect since this one, and there won’t be for quite a while. This was also the last good Terminator movie, so don’t watch anything past this one.

Avengers: Endgame

What’s better for a geek than to see a movie where an actual army of superheroes takes on the army of a menacing villain, in a storyline that in true comic fashion has been building up for a decade across several properties?

TRON

While this movie wasn’t really that popular when it released, we can now look at TRON with a much broader mind and accept the wackiness of its premise. Also, we’ve come to appreciate Jeff Bridges a whole lot more. The recent sequel wasn’t as good, but if you can look past the dated CGI, the original is certainly a gem to watch.
