My take on the list:

• Brazil -- This Gilliam's best.
• The Matrix -- Definitely a good pick.
• The Fifth Element -- Horrible Dreck. Willis is awful.
• Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan -- The best Star Trek movie of the lot. Not necessarily a must see movie compared to other movies, however.
• Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home -- Second best Star Trek movie, but if you're not a fan of the series don't bother.
• Serenity -- I don't know anything about this at all.
• Dark City -- Visually compelling, smart, unique film that misses being good enough to be actually memorable.
• 12 Monkeys -- Not nearly as difficult a movie as people seem to think. It is actually very straight forward. It's not even as hard as Back to the Future 2 plot point wise. Truly good. Memorable. Best Gilliam after Brazil.
• Shaun of the Dead -- A fun zombie parody that made me curious enough to watch the original 1979 Dawn of the Dead which is a friggin masterpiece!
• Darkman -- Haven't seen it.
• Army of Darkness -- Saw it. Laughed. But really, who cares?
• War Games -- More of a nostalgia movie for middle aged Gen Xers than anything.
• Monty Python and the Holy Grail -- I own this movie on DVD.
• Office Space -- I own this too.
• Repo Man -- I should own this one.

How are these GEEK movies. What the fuck does that word mean, exactly?
