Top 10 Most Loved Male Geeks in Movies

The era of the geeks has arrived. They are finally cool. Being smart is so in, not even the Michael Jordans of this world can dethrone them from their pedestal.

These geeks have finally made physical appearances totally insignificant. It is all about science and numbers and general knowledge.

We all must admit that movies played a big part in improving their public image and giving them a new place in pop culture.
