    Quoted: Geeks and movies go together quite nicely. I've been thinking about films that reflect tech and geek culture, and have pulled together a list of 15 movies that should probably be on any geek's must-see list.

    These are in no particular order, except that the first one is my No. 1 Must-Watch-for-Geek-Cred film.

    Baraka

    I have yet to see this film, but I've seen a few clips here and there and it looks amazing. It isn't like your standard film, more of taking the most beautiful scenes imaginable on earth and putting them to music.

    Quoted: I firmly believe ALL PEOPLE should view this film at least once in their lifetime--free from all external encumbrances--this film requires your undivided attention.

    Children of Men

    Highly recommended by my friend Reuben who just saw it last week. Playing right now at a few theatres in Seattle.

    Quoted: Children of Men just came out today in Spain and it is fantastic.

    Amazon.com: Lord of War

    "A must see."

    I thought this movie was phenomenal. Only thing is, it is a bit depressing. Probably because you leave the film with a much better understanding of how 'small wars' are fueled by arms dealers. The acting is very good. Nicolas Cage does a great job.

    Mother of Mine (Äideistä parhain) | 2006 Seattle International Film Festival | Klaus Härö | Finland

    This movie made the most liked list of the "Fool Serious" group in Seattle. On my to rent list.

    Quoted: During World War II, ten-year-old Eero is sent by his mother to Sweden for his protection (recalling the 80,000 children sent out of the country during the war). MOTHER OF MINE depicts the emotional confusion of childhood and the difficult choices of women who try to do what is best.

    Friends With Money

    Movies to see.

    Quoted: In this hilarious (especially when hitting uncomfortably close to home) new film, director Nicole Holofcener (Lovely and Amazing), keenly examines the challenges in friendships between “haves” and “have-nots” reaching midlife. Her wry script explores the precariousness of the impulse to compare status and accomplishments, and how this allows us to project our insecurities onto others.

    "Fool Serious" most liked award from SIFF 2006.

    Quoted: Elsa lives alone in a Madrid high-rise: she's tart, acerbic and has turned exaggeration into an art form. Fred, a recent widower, has just moved down the hall from Elsa: he's meticulous, reserved and not even remotely the kind of man one would expect to create sparks with Elsa. But sparks they indeed do create, and their affair comes to life in a fresh, humorous fashion as it peels away the layers of expectations.

    Little Red Flowers (Kan shang qu hen mei) | 2006 Seattle International Film Festival | Yuan Zhang | China

    Looks like a good film to catch.

    Quoted: In the early years of Communist-run China, an irrepressible kindergartener starts a revolution of his own against his tyrannical teacher. A delight from the get-go, ...
