Beautiful Mind/Good Will Hunting type movies?

[SpoiledChild]

I find movies about abnormal intellectual geniuses to be very interesting and even motivating. Can anyone recommend movies similar to those two?

Rainman

Since you are mentioning Good Will Hunting, anyone else buy the so-called "widescreen" version of this DVD, only to find that it wont do 16:9???

What good is "widescreen" if it's only 4:3????

Idiots.

Dirk Diggler was a Porn Genius

My gf likes "With Honors".

I have never seen it so I don't know if it is in that vein or not.

Most movies with Matt Damon, it seems, has him playing some sort of genius.

Pi is a good one.

Little Man Tate (or something like that)

 

[SpoiledChild]

Ooh yeah, Finding Forrester is another good one I've seen..

So does anyone know of..any other sources for movies? Kazaa seems to be short on a few suggestions here.

gfg, those seem math related, go watch: Pi

Little man tate is great, finding forrester was a decent movie, and i love good will hunting.

Searching for bobby fischer could be considered a child genious movie.

That's what I was thinking. I think Pi is everything A Beautiful Mind aspires to be and more. Great movie, great director.

Just bought it on DVD. Seen it a million times on HBO/CMAX but had to by it. The most amazing movie. Inspires me to write every time I see it.
