Movie information in first post provided by The Movie Database
Real Genius was one of those movies that totally hit the sweet spot for me. I was in high school when it came out and Val Kilmer was basically the coolest kind of rebel. I remember wishing my school had even one kid like that. The things we imagine when we’re young lol. The science stuff went way over my head but the popcorn scene was unforgettable. It was the perfect mix of comedy and nerdy charm. I haven’t watched Real genius in over 20 years.
 
This is a movie that I never got the chance to watch. Maybe tomorrow after work I’ll look for it.

I’m not going to guarantee that you like it but I did. It wasn’t that popular. Definitely worth giving a shot.
