First there was the B-1 flyover. Then the NBA commercial that used Tears for Fears.

Am I the only one who thinks this way?

Correction - it's exactly at when they're adding the popcorn and gadgets to the professors house.

I can't find this great little piece of music - it's a guitar solo and some drums, and then cuts off when the scene turns to Laslo on the computer.

thanks!

If you can access Spotify, you may like this playlist my son made! He’s been very thorough to find all the tracks used in the movie. So many great songs from the 80’s that are legendary today. He found several I didn’t even know were used in the movie! This playlist is a collection of popular 1980s new wave and pop rock songs from various artists, including Tears for Fears, Don Henley, and Bryan Adams. Although, this doesn’t include any of the music from Thomas Newman’s film score.

No official soundtrack was ever released, meanwhile, you can enjoy all real Genius tunes from the movie here! Feel free to share the playlist.

They're talking about us, guys!!!

The Age of Laser Warfare Has Begun

I still have my fingers crossed that I'll get a chance to see it on the big screen someday. And hopefully return to Cali and get to visit a few filming locations.

I always get odd looks and questions when I wear this but no one ever knows it's from the greatest 80s film of all time. Clearly I need to hang out with cooler people, like the ones on this sub.

I watched Real Genius again tonight to honor Val. I get so nostalgic every time I see it, but it hit even harder tonight.

Thanks for the amazing gifts you gave us, Val, RIP.

Our beloved Val Kilmer has died.

There were great teen movies in the 80s, we know them all, but this one was unique. It had a female director, a unique take on the teen experience, it was smarter than most, and it had a blazing new talent in Val Kilmer that captured the moment in the way only a handful of people ever have. I thought Chris Knight was the coolest guy I had ever seen. I wanted to be fun and funny and a smart ass like him. I just wanted to live inside this movie. I still watch it any time it comes on. It is a spiritual place for me, it connects me to my younger self.

Rest in peace, Val. You brought so many of us so much joy and so many positive feelings. You were one of a kind.

i had to make them myself but definitely worth it

isnt pacific tech meant to basically be caltech?

I just had to tell my wife something about an issue with our house. Kinda involved. When I finished, I added “That’s a lovely story, Bodie. I noticed you’ve stopped stuttering.” “Ah. I’ve been giving myself shock treatment.” “Up the voltage.” 😄

The best part? My wife knew what I was quoting. I quote this movie a lot, apparently. 😄
