| Smack Talk and Repartee in Movies |
| Okay, you may not believe this, but back in the old days, movies featuring criminals relied on something called dialogue to make a point.

| Top Geeky Cult Classics |
| Geeky cult classics are beloved to the geek sub-culture. They are discussed, quoted, and reminisced over well after the movie is over. They can have done not well, or kinda well, but they cannot have done VERY well in the theater.

In reality, nerds have long since moved on from being single, basement-dwelling, unwashed, socially-inept borderline autistics. Thanks to the Internet industry boom of the 90's, geeks are now married, large-house-owning, moderately-washed, socially-inept, rich borderline autistics. |
