    (#1) Egon Spengler

    • Ghostbusters II, Ghostbusters

    No one can deny the longevity of Dr. Egon Spengler, founding member of the Ghostbusters and creator of the proton packs they wield against apparitions. Always speaking matter-of-factly even when it might seem uncalled for, Dr. Spengler is the smartest member of the team and is able to calculate the probability of survival when he suggests breaking one of his own rules.

    Whether he's making new gadgets for the team or investigating a river of ooze just below New York City, Egon always has his nerd flag flying high.

  • Hermione Granger on Random Most Memorable Nerds In Movie History

    (#2) Hermione Granger

    • Harry Potter Universe

    A shining example of Hermione Granger's unrepentant nerdiness comes when she takes the time to correct schoolmates and friends Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint) and Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) on the pronunciation of a levitating spell. Her exasperated instruction, "It's leviOsa, not levioSA!” lets readers and movie viewers alike know exactly where Miss Granger stands when it comes to attention to detail and a drive to educate not only herself, but also those around her in the wizarding world.

    Her strengths throughout the series lie in her ability to find and condense, apply, and translate information in order to save herself and her friends from certain doom. Her nerdiness definitely saves the day more than once.

    (#3) George McFly

    • Back to the Future Part II, Back to the Future Part III, Back to the Future, Back to the Future

    As the nerdy father of Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox), George is awkward, complacent, and pathetic as an adult. However, his tendencies toward sci-fi and "bird-watching" in high school prove he's always been a dorky target for bullies.

    Excellent at his studies, George spends most of high school completing homework for Biff (Thomas F. Wilson) and pining over the lovely Lorraine (Lea Thompson) from afar. It isn't until his son travels back in time that George gathers the courage to stand up for himself while refusing to give up the nerdy hobbies he loves, leading to a better future for the whole McFly clan.

    (#4) Evie Carnahan (Rachel Weisz) From 'The Mummy'

    Evie Carnahan may be clumsy, but she's also a highly intelligent woman navigating the 1920s and beyond - and holding her own in many respects. She uses her skills as a librarian and expert on Egyptian texts and lore not only to push forward the adventure in The Mummy, but also to save her future husband Rick O'Connell (Brendan Fraser) from doom several times.

    Even as she grows into a more confident version of herself, Evie never loses the nerdy edge that put her on the path toward her new life.

    • American Wedding, American Reunion, American Pie, American Pie 2

  • Andy Stitzer on Random Most Memorable Nerds In Movie History

    (#6) Andy Stitzer

    • The 40-Year-Old Virgin

    Naive, awkward, and eager to be one of the guys, Andy's brand of nerdiness is evident in his piles of boxed action figures and comic books, and even in his job selling electronics.

    Although Andy attempts to conform to what he believes to be society's standards for a man, in the end, he maintains his personality and dorkiness - and still gets to fall in love.

    While keeping and using his nerdy tendencies, Peter uses his Spider-Man persona to help people with his newfound strength and anonymity. 

  • Ted (Anthony Michael Hall) From 'Sixteen Candles' on Random Most Memorable Nerds In Movie History

    (#8) Ted (Anthony Michael Hall) From 'Sixteen Candles'

    Farmer Ted embodies everything we assume about nerds in the 1980s: braces complete with headgear, an obsession with sex, and an unstoppable drive to accomplish whatever goals they set their minds to. Ted is a legend in his own friend group, but an outcast to the jocks and popular kids.

    In an effort to prove his dominance to friends and make headway with the "regular" kids, Ted hones in on Samantha Baker (Molly Ringwald) in an attempt to win her affections and borrow her underwear. Ted manages to make friends with popular nice guy Jake Ryan (Michael Schoeffling), get Sam's underwear, and wake up in a convertible with Jake's ex-girlfriend over the course of one night.

  • Mclovin on Random Most Memorable Nerds In Movie History

    (#9) Mclovin

    • Superbad

    Only a legendary nerd would get a fake license from Hawaii when he lives in California, but an unforgettable nerd would do it and choose the name McLovin for it.

  • Ichabod Crane (Johnny Depp) From 'Sleepy Hollow' on Random Most Memorable Nerds In Movie History

    (#10) Ichabod Crane (Johnny Depp) From 'Sleepy Hollow'

    Tim Burton's version of Ichabod Crane keeps the cowardice shown in the early Disney imagining while adding an interest in gadgets, a deep melancholy, and the intelligence to solve the mystery of the Headless Horseman.

    Set in 1799, Burton's Sleepy Hollow portrays Ichabod as a strange duck who travels to a terror-stricken community armed with the knowledge required to perform autopsies, deduce logical conclusions based on evidence, and even accept the possibility of the paranormal. Of course, his nerd bonafides are the reason he's able to solve the mystery surrounding the Legend of Sleepy Hollow.

    (#11) Professor Julius Kelp

    • The Nutty Professor

    Jerry Lewis embodies the stereotype of scientists and nerds with his portrayal of Professor Julius Kelp in 1963's The Nutty Professor. Glasses, a terrible haircut, a bow tie, and teeth in need of braces complete the comedic counterpoint to alter ego Buddy Love, born of a chemical potion meant to make Kelp more attractive to the ladies.

    Painfully aware of the horrible person he becomes as the attractive and outgoing Buddy Love, Kelp eventually chooses to reveal his true identity to his students before running off with love interest Stella Purdy (Stella Stevens).

    (#12) Harold Lamb (Harold Lloyd) From 'The Freshman'

    The oldest nerd on this list (the movie is from 1925), Harold Lamb wants to change his persona now that he is away at college. Harold takes on the nickname Speedy and impersonates all of the qualities he believes a big man on campus should have, including mocking people when he meets them. Blissfully unaware of the fool he's become due to a joke spread by his rival College Cad (Brooks Benedict), Harold continues his attempts to win the affection of Peggy (Jobyna Ralston) and make the football team. 

    His tryout for the team goes awry when he takes the place of a tackling dummy, and he ends up becoming the water boy instead of a player. Through other mishaps, Harold maintains a positive outlook and eventually saves the day in a football game where the coach has no choice but to put him on the field.

    • The Nutty Professor, Nutty Professor II: The Klumps

He instantly loses 250 pounds and takes on the persona of Buddy Love, a more physically attractive version of himself with a terrible personality.

    After cheating on Carla with multiple women and taking credit for Sherman's serum, Buddy Love hatches a plan to get rid of his alter ego once and for all. However, Sherman emerges victorious and embraces who he is as a person, nerdy impulses and all.

  • Mark Zuckerberg on Random Most Memorable Nerds In Movie History

    (#14) Mark Zuckerberg

    • The Social Network

    Using his nerd powers for evil, Mark Zuckerberg starts his Facebook empire as a sort of online burn book used to trash talk the women who refuse his advances. The fact that he's a real person makes Zuckerberg even more notable in the world of movie dorkdom, as he continues to use his intelligence to build an empire founded on ill intent.

    From algorithms to questionable privacy practices, seeing the turmoil and strife that went into making Facebook the juggernaut it is today makes it certain that Zuckerberg will never be forgotten.

Each sees in the other things they either lost or want to achieve, but the relationship breaks down when the two begin competing for the attentions of the same Rushmore teacher.

    Amid all of that, Max finds the time to indulge in nerdy pursuits, such as adding an aquarium to the school grounds without permission or permits, and writing, directing, casting, and starring in a play in order to salvage broken relationships.
