10 Geeky Movies to Raise Your Kids On | Geekdad

Brian and I fall squarely in the geek category, we are both scientists and we met 17 years ago at a science fiction convention. One of our first relationship conflicts after moving in together was what to do with the roughly 100 science fiction novels that we had duplicate copies of. Neither one of us wanted to give up a treasured book, but they were taking up so much room.

We’ve actually had conversations about how to steer our son down the geek road a bit. He loves space and planets now and has pictures of the solar system around his room. We tried to watch the first Harry Potter film with him once when he was 4 years old, however, he thought it was scary. Recently we tried to take him to see the animated Star Wars: The Clone Wars flick that’s out now, and again it was too scary and we left the theater early.

Here is a list of 10 geeky movies from Geekdad blog. I hadn’t thought about showing him The Dark Crystal, I think he might like that one.
