The 12 Best Movies About Nerds That Break Classic Nerd Stereotypes (Whatnerd)

"All too often, movies exaggerate the life of a nerd. Not all nerds are geniuses, not all nerds are outcast losers, not all nerds wear taped glasses or get pushed into lockers every day. We've seen these nerd stereotypes play out in dozens of movies and TV shows, and it has given nerds a bad reputation.
While public perception of nerds has changed over the years, it's still often loaded with negative connotations—of cowardice, of poor social skills, of sexual frustration, of contempt from the people around them. Sometimes these traits are true for nerds, but rarely to the exaggerated degree we see in Hollywood and on television. Here are our picks for the best movies about nerds that depict the true-to-life experience—awkwardness, eccentricity, quirkiness—in ways that depart from the usual nerd stereotypes." - whatnerd.com
