And Then There Were Eight!

This is it. The final countdown to the Geek Film Championship. THE ELITE EIGHT! And it's not too late to get in on the action - to decide the final four and then the greatest geek film of all time*.

So far, this week, we've had seven teams advance into the Elite Eight. Star Wars, Empire Strikes Back, Return of the King, The Two Towers, Contact, Tron, and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. And tonight, you will decide the final member of this elite group when you vote for Raiders of the Lost Ark or From Russia with Love. That's a pretty select group of fine films and not a dog amongst them.

But starting today, you can also vote for the finalists in each of the four categories - Old School SciFi, Fantasy, New Wave SciFi, and Action films - as we narrow down the films to the Final Four. And then, early next week - we will crown the ultimate winner of Geek Filmdom.

So vote now and vote often. History will record what you do today - as well as the DHS and the NSA, but only history's recording will be important to geeks.


*Results are for greatest geek film in only one of four categories. Not all films were included in this list and some geeks might argue about particular omissions. But then geeks will pretty much argue about anything geeky which is why they are geeks. So save your Millenium Falcon vs. The Enterprise geek arguments for someone who cares. According to my methods, this will definitively decide for ALL TIME what the greatest geek film is - until next year when we'll start all over again with different categories.
