My wife and I have been watching movies...a few a day for a week or so. Right now we are having an 80's-a-thon. I was wondering, what are your picks for the best "geek" movies out there? They do not have to be from the 80's, just geeky. WarGames is a given.

The Manhattan Project with John Lithgow
Not a thought provoking film by any means, just a fun, dumb, geeky romp.

Saw a trailer in the theatre the other day for a new Tron movie coming out.
Weird Science hits every geek fantasy.

This might seem a little out of left field but I believe it meets your criteria:
Tampopo
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092048/
A truck driver comes to the aid of a pathetic (geeky?) Ramen chef who can't seem to get her recipe right. Geeky food humor ensues.
