My favorite non geek movies.

                                                   My Fave Non-Geek Movies

hey this is Troy host of 28 Geeks Later, and I thought I would post some of my favorite movies that aren't exactly what you would consider geeky, look at me branching out. So in no particular order here is my list.

#10- The Art of Getting By.  I really enjoyed this movie (and I think I'm the only one who did) I was in the theater by myself yelling at the screen "This was me!". This was the story of my senior year, it was eerie.

#9- Oscar. This by far is not the most popular Sly Stallone movie but it's my favorite. He plays a gangster who promises his dying father to turn his life around.

#8-Mean Girls. This was a huge surprise and this was also before I knew the genius that is Tina Fey. It stars Lindsay Lohan (Pre crazy) and Rachel McAdams.

#7-Easy A. This was the movie that introduced me to Emma Stone and her funnies. This is such a clever, witty, honest movie. Plus it has a Uber Christ-y Amanda Bynes so that's good.

#6-The Prestige. Though every person in this movie has been in a superhero film, I don't think of this as a geek movie. It is about two feuding magicians in the turn of the century. And David Bowie man! Ziggy Stardust!

#5-Oceans 11. One of my favorite movies OF ALL TIME! It's got the Cloon it's got the Pitt, they play suave thieves pulling off a caper in Vegas! What else do you freaking need man?

#4-Maverick. Starring Mel Gibson (Pre Crazy) as Brett Maverick an old west card player/con man. Based on the classic TV show the movie is set in the old west and is centered around Mel's character trying to make it to a giant poker championship and the obstacles that keep getting in his way. It's very funny and very charming and manages to pull a solid performance out of Jodie Foster (which is the only thing that's ever been pulled out of Jodie Foster) HA! That's why I make the big bucks folks.

#3-Toy Story 2. Another of my all time faves, this film is why you go to the movies. Up to this point animated sequels never did as well as the first, Rescuers Down Under anyone? But this just blasts the first one into the dust much like Zurg did to Buzz in the opening sequence.

#2 Liar Liar. My all time favorite comedy. This is Jim Carrey at his peak, I don't think there is one scene in this movie that wasn't chewed on and spit out by him. Then at the end of the credits they give you a double dose with the bloopers (An original idea at the time)

#1 The Artist. I have said it before about this movie but it is shot for shot probably the most perfect movie I have ever seen. You feel for these characters and you go on the journey with them yet they never say a word. Brilliant.
