30-day Geek Challenge | Day 11 - Favorite Movie

This post is part of my ‘30-day Geek Challenge‘.  As I stated, the order isn’t important, and I might not do one every day.  Feel free to make your own list, or copy mine and participate.  Should be a lot of fun!

Today's challenge is to name my favorite movie. There are so many, I can't name just one. So I'm going to give my top 5.

Coming in at number 5 is War Games, the 1983 edition. This was the first real hacker geek movie that I remember. There were plenty of nerdy computer movies, but this one was a little more real and not so nerdy. It was me in the 80's.

Coming in at number 4 is Star Wars,  Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. These are the originals, with the first release in 1977. Star Wars was probably the first real adult movie I remember seeing. I watched them at the Trolly Corners Theater in Salt Lake City, multiple times, and was amazed at the special effects and story. Thanks George Lucas.

Coming in at number 3 is Star Trek, the movie, 2009 release. This is such a great movie. The special effects are incredible. Zachary Quinto makes a great Spok.

My number 2 favorite movie is Star Trek: First Contact (and Generations, and Nemesis). The Generations series was great on TV and was very well done in a series of movies.

And my all time favorite movie is... Galaxy Quest. Yes, the Tim Allen, Sigourney Weaver space comedy. Corny at times, but I love the story, and the termites, er, Thermians are awesome. Love Guy, Tech Sergeant Chen and Laredo.
