the geek films that defined me [pt6] - the last starfighter

Whilst chatting over lunch about films and kids being trained by the US military regarding flying drones into war-zones we some how indirectly got onto the topic of 'the last star fighter' and i thought i would drop the trailer i found on youtube on here. again, if you have not seen some of these classics i suggest you add them to your viewing or downloading list today.

plus, anything that has a weapons system called 'death blossom' has to be ftw.

the geek films that defined me [pt1] - real genius (1985)

I'm not sure how i found out about real genius. i guess i just went
digging around for geeky films to do with tech and when your a kid a
film that has a laser in it always hits the spot. what i actually
ended up finding was a very young val kilmer, a great 80's soundtrack
(comsat angels ftw) and a pure geeky storyline. I love real genius.
You know what, i think i should organise a geek movie meetup - a day
of oldskool movies and snacks and beers in the evening with some of
the more up to date geeky/tech movies.

If you have never seen real genius. grab it, ignore the fromage.
it's a classic.
