I found this nifty graphic a while ago while browsing the web. It caught my attention immediately: as I was a bit of a high school nerd myself, I was always quick to like the high school nerds in movies. To honor high school’s more geekily inclined, Koldcast.tv created a timeline of “film’s favorite high school nerds”.
Click on the image below to view the entire timeline – it doesn’t just feature guys, but there are also some girl geeks on there. It’s pretty spiffy, and I like the style.

My favorite high school geek is probably Donnie Darko. Part geek, huge part mysterious oddball.
Who is your favorite high school geek? Is he or she on the timeline? Were you a geek in high school, yourself?
Don’t forget to share – pay homage to those nerds and geeks! Sharing is caring, and all that!
