Favorite Movie Geeks

The geek or nerd character in a movie is sometimes the most entertaining one of the film. And I think we all have a bit of nerdyness in us. Me too. I'm a movie geek and a book nerd, but not as stereotypical as in all the film they are portrayed. So I release my innernerd and show you my favorite movie geeks ever.

When you went to Adams you might've been called a spazz, or a dork, or a geek. Any of you that have ever felt stepped on, left out, picked on, put down, whether you think you're a nerd or not, why don't you just come down here and join us. Okay? Come on."
