Plot summary: A modern day geek-to-princess story.

She begins as an outcast – a stumbling, invisible nobody in her high school. Then she is told she's a princess. Enter the make-over sequence and we have insta-sexy Anne Hathaway. Normally, a coming-of-age story wouldn't make it into consideration, but here there are two extra considerations:

1. Even when looking cute she still stumbles and bumbles and is socially inept.
2. She is fighting against the head cheerleader and chief jock – by default making her a nerd.

She also really earns her geek badge from her the pre-make-over style: retainer, glasses, frizzy hair, nervous shyness, vomiting when giving speeches, and having a dreamy sequence fantasizing about the school stud.

In the end, she continues to hang with the feminist, outcast buddy of hers, and hooks up with the nerdy nice guy.

Dreams really do come true! And hers was to come in at number nine.

Plot summary: A military robot gets zapped by lightning causing it to gain self-awareness and a ton of awkward social graces.

Nothing spells geek like having a large hinder, some spindly arms, and a pinhead. Number 5 has all that and a high, goofy, ET-like voice to boot, making him the highest ranking robot geek.

Number 5 is alive, not getting laid, and number 8.

Plot summary: A neurotic math-geek stumbles across a number that other insane math geeks believe holds mystical power, and he has headaches that only a solid round of trepanning (or maybe 800 mg of ibuprofen) could relieve.

In the olden days, physics was the geek subject of choice. That is until that bastard Dr. Stephen Hawkings made physics all cool and everything! So, us real geeks are left with the still-uncool subject of Math, a subject so unhip not even the mediocre, generic movie Good Will Hunting could make it all that interesting to normal humans.

Enter Pi, a movie with a slew of Math geeks trying to play the stock market for all its worth using a 216-digit number sequence. With characters like that, this movie must have some amazing car chase scenes and some exotically-intoxicating, mostly-naked women in it, right? Right?!?

Of course not, thus it calculates itself right into position number: square root of (40,353,607/13,841,287,201 to the -1 power).

Has anyone seen my awl? I feel a headache coming on.

Plot summary: Three geeks (plus one supplemental one added later) catch ghosts and fight a giant, sugary monster.

Technically, only two of the three Ghostbusters are geeks, as the third is actively seeking to score with any number of women, including Sigourney Weaver (a recent recipient of the Flixster Sci-Fi babe Lifetime Achievement Award).

As for the other two, well, they vault into the dork stratosphere NOT because they carry around "unlicensed nuclear reactors" strapped to their backs, but because they created said accouterment. And because one of them gets freaky with a woman – an undead ghostly woman who apparently loves pleasing people with low expectations - and the other is into collecting "spores, molds, and fungus". Definitely a pair any young lady would love to take home to show the family!

All this, plus dorky jumpsuits, earns them sixth place.

Plot summary: Very young uber-genius (i.e. geek) goes to college early and helps an older uber-geek build a very strong laser which will NOT be used as a weapon to kill people from outer space… nothing to see here. Move along.

The young geek is the focus of this movie. He struggles with the experiments and is forced to interact with others. Then, in a tragic turn of events, he is forced to party. He fights the peer pressure, but collapses in the end.

It is this very reluctance to have fun – shown to us over and over in the film – is what earns this little gem the fifth slot.

Plot summary: Two horny goobers put bras on their heads and try to create a woman with a retardedly-wrong, pseudo-science-ish ritual... and succeed.

After their success, the rest of the movie shows the boys have no friggin' clue what to do with this woman. Though, in their defense, most men have no clue what to do with a woman like this. Let’s get back to why this is at slot number four.

The pair of losers quickly find themselves in a series of escalating situations where, finally, they have to grow a pair. They each grow half of one, give the set to the slightly less dorky of the two, and triumph! While they never score with the hot babe, they do get to kiss cute, young ladies. And the young, now-ex-dorks get to squeeze the young ladies' butts – a move so significant each butt squeeze gets its own scene!

This moment is as glorious as the Death Star's destruction or Seven-of-Nine's weekly appearance in Star Trek: Voyager. I still get shivers of pleasure at that scene – and this movie gets slot number four.

Plot summary: Huge-craniumed boy, and friends, team up to steal their parents back from booger-shaped aliens in egg-shaped space suits.

Why does it rate so high on the geek-o-meter? Because it stars Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius – and his huge melon. He and his big head use brains and thinking to defeat the nasty aliens.

Oh, and because it contains the coolest spaceships-made-out-of-carnival-ride-equipment you have ever seen.

He may never procreate, but he still earns the third slot on this list.

Plot summary: A dweeby high schooler becomes a school hero via dancing despite his obvious nerdly handicaps.

The main character, and his whole family, are a massive pile of dorks, each in his own "special" way. Normally, a movie starting with this group would have one or all learning to be cool, building to a triumphant prom scene where the hero punches the biggest ass/bully/jock while the teachers happily look elsewhere.

But this isn't your normal "geek triumphs over evil"-style movie. It's an odd little variation of that, with the punch coming in the form of dancing. Geek dancing. Dynamite's moves range from odd to ridiculous, with just a hint of competence. It is like watching skilled dancers do the Tango – except since this is a dweeb we're talking about, he has no female partner.

For the love of all that's Holy, this dance piece should not work! It should NOT be both completely geeky AND completely inspiring and talented. But it is.

Vote for Pedro!

Plot summary: A band-o-nerds team up to fight against the jocks and try to score with chicks.

The dynamic nerd-duo at the top of the geek-pile are Louis Skolnick and Gilbert Lowell, but the whole gang of them reads like the writers are trying to get the politically correct "nerd mix". There the black nerd (doubling as the extremely gay one), the teen prodigy, the Asian guy, a disgusting geek (nicknamed "Booger"), and an Uber-geek – replete with thick glasses, bad acne, bad teeth, and a dorky personality.

It's a super team that hasn't been seen since the All-New SuperFriends Hour with the Wonder Twins! Each wacky nerd has his own talent, be it picking his nose to win at arm wrestling, adjusting the aerodynamics of a javelin to compensate for gay throwing techniques, or secretly installing voyeur cams into the local sorority to see some live showering.

Actually, that last one kinda rocks.

This movie has it all: massive use of stereotypes, underdogs triumphing, wacky comedy, a distressingly enjoyable pop song, and the requisite 80's nude scenes. (And what happened to those anyway?)

Revenge of the Nerds reigns supreme over all other geek movies. If only this would be re-released in 3D IMAX format, my life would be complete.

Brandon is the geek whose biggest fantasy comes true – the TV show “Galaxy Quest” – becomes real. To be frank, the whole damned race of Thermians are geeks as well. Yes, even the cute one into cross-species naughtiness.

Hell hath no fury like a geek scorned, so the saying goes. Buddy gets jilted, being denied the "side-kick" position to Mr. Incredible, mainly because he has no powers and is an annoying little turd. In response, he does what any teenage kid would do – try to find porn. Wait. No. He builds up a technological empire to help kill off all super heroes. Yep, he is a geek.

In a "dork off" cage match, who would win, Dr. Emmett Brown or George McFly? Our money is on the Doc, 'cause George is just a loser. At least at one time...

Malvin. Yep, just Malvin.
