Top 25 Geeks in Movies: The Few, the Obsessed, the Socially Awkward

If I, (Itty Bitty), had to be a character on that list, I would be:

16. Enid in 'Ghost World' (2001)

Geek-tress: Thora Birch

Geekery Focus: Vintage stuff, vinyl records, hating happy people

Geek Quote: "That's not true. I just hate all these extroverted, obnoxious, pseudo-bohemian losers."

The most bitter geek on the list, her self-deprecating humor and hatred of anyone not socially inept rival any of Janeane Garofalo's standup acts. She's likely such a great character because she was born from the mind of a comics geek, Daniel Clowes. Yet the thing that really sets her apart is she sleeps with a character played by Steve Buscemi. What better geek love it there than that?

Besides, the masters of pop culture comedy have already done Facebook. Sorry, Aaron Sorkin, but I'll stick with re-watching my South Park episode:
