  • Since you mention it. I'd start with watching the original Star Wars trilogy. Star Trek movies- although if you had to pick one then watch Star Trek II "The Wrath of Khan". "Tron" and "War Games" will also help with your geek cred.


    From a wider cultural perspective, watch these:
    * Breakfast Club
    * Sixteen Candles
    * Ferris Buellers Day Off
    * Godfather I, II, III
    * Back to the Future I, II, III
    * Goonies
    * Stand By Me
    * Real Genius
    * Wayne's World
    * Austin Powers I, II
    * Office Space
    * High Fidelity
    * Singles
    * Spinal Tap
    * Almost Famous

    That should get you started. enjoy!
