"Real Genius": why don't they make 'em like this anymore?


When was the last time you saw a well made teen movie?

1. I liked "Real Genius" a lot. Very funny movie.
Only two of the movies Val Kilmer has done that I really like...the other being "Top Secret!"

8. Are there any extras on the DVD?
Definitely a Val Kilmer movie I want in my collection. That, and "Top Secret".

9. Unfortunately, no
Bare bones :(

The sound and picture is excellent, though, compared to my beat-up VHS copy.

3. I think of the immortal words of Socrates who said,
"I drank what."

Cool flick!

5. "I want to see more of you in the lab" "Ok, I'll gain weight"
Some truly funny dialogue in "Real Genius"

7. That movie had great one-liners
"When you first started at Pacific Tech you were well on your way to becoming another Einstein and then you know what happened?"


"I got a haircut"

10. Great lines, great story, great soundtrack...
All-around awesome movie...

"Can you hammer a 6-inch spike through a board with your penis?"

"Not right now."

"A girl's gotta have her standards..."

11. Does "Election" count?
Reese Witherspoon was brilliant. And scary!
