Default Favorite geek movie of all time!

What is it?
Check it out: www.linuxedge.blogspot.com
Maybe there's a link between using Linux and being rational - and rational people are more likely to be atheists (although I'm not implying that religion is irrational*)


*yes i am.

Haha, that Office Space recut was awesome. Yeah, Office Space would have to be a favourite geek movie.
The First 20 Million is Always the Hardest wasn't too bad either, and for some really oldschool stuff, Wargames is pretty good.

Monty Python is great, so is The Matrix, and does Serenity count? Serenity is pretty good.
