15 Unrealistically Cool Movie Geeks
Nerds💮 &a🃏mp; know-it-alls who get the girl and save the day

Indiana Jones
Geek Clique: He'𒆙s a bow tie-wearing professor who gets visibly uncomfortable when girly students flutter their eyelashes at him.
And, even in his spare time, he's still on the job, spending his vacations r𒁏ooting around for old artefacts.
Why He's Too Cool For School: He's no museum piece. Without exception, those holidays are legendary a✱dventures
And, of course, he's handsomeness personified. Wasꦰn'🌟t the pretty student lusting after him enough of a giveaway?

Randall
Geek Clique: He works in a video shop and spends his days theorising about the Star Wars triღlogyꦏ. When he's not watching hermaphrodite porn, that is.
Why He's Too Cool For School: His sheer attitude. Randall doesn't give a fuck about anything, which might be a constant source of irritation to fellow Clerk Dante, but an inspiration to the rest of 🔯us geeks.
Check out every other Kevin Smith film: Randall's influence pervﷺades the lot.

Thomas A. Anderson
Geek Clique: By day, he's an office drone tapping away on a keyboard foꩲr a﷽n anonymous corporation.
By night, he's a hacker with a silly name (Neo), tapping away on a keyboard out of a vague sense of anti-establishment enn♕ui.
Why He's Too Cool For School: The small matter of being The One, the physics-defyin🍨g demi-god of the virtual world.
What most geeks wish themselves to be, he is. See also: Kevin Flynn in Tron .

Major Boothroyd (aka Q)
Geek Clique: Locked in the lab, the 💝boffin of blowy-uppy things remained the model of the upper-class English 🍬geek for four decades.
Why He's Too Cool For School: There's one hell of a sense of humour implicit in thos🐻e inventions. A machine gun hidden in a mannequin of a sleepin🌳g Mexican? Ay caramba!
But that attitude is matched by Q's willingness to put James Bond in his☂ place. Yes, this geek can out-cool 007.

Will Hunting
Geek Clique: Alt𒆙hough he's a janitor at MIT, secret🎀 genius Will likes nothing better than to sneak into classes after hours and correct the mistakes of the students...and the teachers.
Why He's Too Cool For School: In this case, he's literally too cool for school, preferring to hang out with hꦓis bros, drink beer and try and pull the college totty.
Better still, his blend of encyclopediac knowledge and street-sense can batter꧅ smug smartarses into intellectual submission. How d'ya like them apples?

Peter Parker
Geek Clique: He lives with his Aunt and Uncle, spends his spare time in🍰 d🅠ark rooms developing photographs. No wonder real life is a challenge, particularly when laydeez are involved.
Why He's Too Cool For School: After conveniently getting nipped by a radioactive spider, he's also got superhuman agility and web-spinning 🐬skills.
We❀🔯'd have happily lived through those awkward teenage moments if we got to beat up criminals in our spare time.

David Lightman
Geek Clique: Most geeks are easy to avoid, given their preference for stꦏaying indoors and muckinཧg about on computers.
Not David, a hacker so bored he'll spend his days pestering the entire neighbourhood just🅠 to get details of forthcoming computer games.
Why He's Too Cool For School: As played by🃏 cheeky chappie Matthew Broderick, he has enough insouciant charm to get away with his indiscretions.
Which is sayin𝓡g something, when David can bring the world to the brink of nuclear holocaust with a few clicks of the ke🌌yboard.

Doc Brown
Geek Clique: The mad scientist of Hill Valley, people tend to give Emmet Brown a wide ber🌠th for his wild wild gesticulations and wild exclamations. Oh, and the hair - yup, that's wild, too.
Why He's Too Cool For School: True, he gets res🐻idual cool for hanging out with Marty McFly, b𓆉ut Brown has enough of his own, thanks.
There are few guys around with the balls to turn a sports car into a time machine🐟 and rip off Libyan terrorists to get it working.

Spock
Geek Clique: Logical to the point of pedantry, Vulcan Spock's half-human heritage gives him a mix of alien weirdness and all-too-familiar techy obse🧜ssion.
Why He's Too Cool For School: Where Kirk's macho tꦉhrusting at the galaxy's green-skinned lovelies quickly gets icky, it's Spock's sardonic intonation and raised eyebrows that keep the temperature chilled.
That said, with Zachary Quinto's sexed-up, action🧔-man performance Spock nowadays is e☂ven cooler.

David Huxley
Geek Clique: Bringing Up Baby 's bespectacled paleontologist can't organise his own wꦦedding, but he's only an intercostal clavicle away from completing his museum's Brontosaurus skeleton.
Why He's Too Cool For School: Given a little push by carefree force of nature S🌊usan Vance, David is soon hunting leopards and cross-dressing in the hunt for his bone.
The fact he looks like Cary🧸 Grant doesn't hওurt, either.

Tony Stark
Geek Clique: He's an inventor, who likes nothing better than to muck around with real-life Robot Wars . However,ꦐ his weapons cause mass destruction. 🌳Not cool , dude.
Why He's Too Cool For School: Real-life inven💝tors look and sound like Bill Gates. The Stark contrast is one of playboy panache and rock-star flair.
Plus, eventually, he sees the error of his ways and gets a🦋 ✨Bono-like sense of saving the world. He probably campaigns against WMDs on Twitter.

Kate Libby
Geek Clique: Just to prove that the boys don't have a monopoly on geekhood, here's a sister🏅 who prefers to spend her days on the PC breaking into people's private accounts.
However, th🌊ose hacking skills don't extend to her haircut, which looks like she did it herself.
Why She's Too Cool For School: Short answer - she's Angelina Jolie.
Anybody else would look stupid calling themselves 'Acid Burn.' With Jolie, the name smoulder🐼s.

Chris Wright
Geek Clique: The shining star of Pacific Tech's elite weapons development unit, Chris knows more about laser technology than is socially acceptable for a man who lꦰooks like Val Kilmer.
Why He's Too Cool For School: Like many an undergraduate, Chris is the worm that turned, giving in to the temptations🐼 of university.
Here's the geek as mellow dude and - as proved by cult 80s flick Real Genius - his casual karma rubs off on his fellow students.

Richard Wang
Geek Clique: This schoolboy inventor was always going to get bullied with a name lik𝕴e that, so it's no surprise he gave himself a nicknꦚame.
However, only a geek would believe that calling himself 'Data' would be any pr🅷otection agains꧃t wedgies.
Why He's Too Cool For School: He's a truly proactive geek, who has applied his knowledge into a way o🌜f life.
A one-man mecha army with a ga𓃲dget for every eventuality, he's as indispensable as a Swiss Army knife.

Scott Pilgrim
Geek Clique: Perpetually tongue-tied, embarrassed Michael Cera is Hollywood's go-to geek. Here, he's slacker Scott, who just likes hanging out▨ and half-heartedly bashing 🌊away on his bass
Why He's Too Cool For School: Some geeks have greatness thrust upon them.
In the forthcoming Scott Pilgrim Vs The World , the love of a good woman sends Scott on a quest to battle her seven Evil Exes...with punch-ups andꦕ lightsaber duels. Sounds pretty cool to us.
