Top 10 Movie Geniuses 

like for DOC BROWN from BACK TO THE FUTURE

What about Andy Dufrense from the Shawshank Redemption? That guy stool the wardens money, escaped jail, and changed his identity!

A Beautiful Mind - The Imitaion Game - The Theory of Everything

Hannibal is an "honourable mention?" Dear God.

escaping genius: Andy Dufresne (the shawshank redemption)

Where the hell is Russell Crowe for "A Beautiful Mind"?? They stole the Oscar from him.

Everyone is forgetting the character in the movie “Powder” and also John Travolta in “Phenomenon”.

One of my all-time favorite geniuses was John Travolta's character in the movie Phenomenon. The reason being that he was an ordinary guy, and when he gained his incredible mental powers, he was selfless enough to use them for the benefit of other people. It was an excellent movie, and one of Travolta's best.

One genius is missing... DOC. EMMETT BROWN - Back To the Future Hello?!?!

just a mention? Hannibal Lecter will eat any of these people alive in any competition

What about Matilda? She was so smart that she had telekinetic abilities.

Will Hunting for life.

V from V for Vendetta, linguistic genius , has spent years reading through thousands of poetry and old England plays and shows it through dialogue

What about "A Beautiful Mind" or Robert Langdon in "The Da Vinci Code" and "Angels & Demons"? I think at least the former deserved an honorable mention

A savant isn't a genius. A genius is someone who not only has knowledge but the maturity to understand how to use that knowledge to best of his/her ability. Being able to memorize does not make someone a genius.

A Beautiful Mind???

How about the professor in "Back To The Future" trilogy? Isn't he genius and influenced character from Einstein? Anyway, please doing TOP 10 SMARTEST/GENIUS SUPERHEROES! (Bruce Wayne, Tony Stark, Bruce Banner, Peter Parker, DR. Reed Richards, and so on)

'Rainman' is based on a real person, named Kim Peek. This is even found on wikipedia... Doesn't take a genius to find that out.

Best movies on Real genious The imitation game A man who knew infinity Goodwill hunting (except) A beautiful mind

Problem with Hollywood is that they show geniuses as weirdos. Most of them are like regular people.

A Beautiful Mind should have been on this list

Nice list, but I think Doc Emmett Brown should be here in addition to Alexander Hartedgen. Was very happy to see Will Hunting here!

What about Forrest Gump?!!

You can not assemble this list without John Nash. Mathematical genius who was presented as one of the best actors who even got an OSCAR in it.

what about my wife ? She's a smart arse

where the hell is the Jackass crew, they are genius

Will Hunting is easily my favorite. But I am biased cause Good Will Hunting is my Favorite movie of all time!

*"When Einstein came up with the atmoic bomb."* That's one of the most incorrect things I have heard in a movie.

Criminal that Hannibal Lecter not in the top 10.

TOP 10 "POV" Horror Movies (like Cloverfield, Blair Witch Project, REC etc.)

Andy Dufresne from Shaw shank redemption, this man was truly genius. He was Creative, ambitious and had a head full of knowledge. He learn from some of the most intense life experience that will ever occur in our human lifetime. A man of wisdom. even if his body was prisoned in his cell... His mind was free, free because he had hope that one day he would get out of the prison he was trapped, to go somewhere his soul wanted to be. Don't be the person who hopes for something because you want it so badly but your mind is prisoned by the odds of failure. Be like Andy that didn't thought outside the box but... Thought like there was no box. The only limits to our intelligent human mind is the one we think are true, but are they really?

The Doc from Back to the future didn't make the list? o.O;

I think that Doc from Back to the Futur that invented TIME TRAVELLING THAT BREAK ALL RULES OF PHYSICS should be in top 3, as well as Sherlock Holmes.

Wtf no Dr. Emmett L. 'Doc' Brown from Back To The Future! Needs at least a honorably mention

The time machine 2002 Good will hunting Imitation game A beautiful mind Ten teen tech geniuses Home invention genius Sherlock Holmes Rain man Silence of the lamb Prestige

If they make a Part 2 for this, it MUST include *Christian Wolff (Ben Affleck) in "The Accountant" 2016 and Dexter (Kurt Russell) in "The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes" 1969.*

Would have thought for sure that Nash(Russel Crowe) from A Beautiful Mind would be on this list.

A beautiful mind? Also, rain man was based on a real person, Kim Peak, who was an autistic savant. The movie really didn't do justice to just how incredible Kim Peak was. Personally, one of my favorite movies period, is good will hunting.

The Imitation Game / Alan Turing should definitly be in this list

Why wasn't Matilda even in the honorable mentions?

Yeah! Max Cohen from Pi! Someone finally knows this movie!

Watching Pi was quite an experience. Aronofsky is a master at getting under his characters' skin, in Requiem even literally!

Enjoyed the list. It's been years since I last saw Pi, and now the nightmares will begin again...thanks a lot!

Monk deserves an honorable mention. I know he's in a TV show, but he's a mind blowing genius when figuring out crimes!

Hannibal Lector is not to be honorably mentioned. He is to be number one or two. Don't do it again or you will become an entree'.

there was a real-life Rainman - Kim Peek. He died in Dec 2009

Just one name..... Dr..Emett...Brown

Oh man, I never thought I'd see Pi in this list. Niiiiice!

back to the future - doc

Doc Brown -- Back to the Future

Emmet “doc” Brown back to the future not even an honorable mention, man created a time machine out a delorian

beautiful mind and the man who made infinity...

Where is Matilda?

August Rush (Evan Taylor) from August Rush. Musical genius. And Ender from Enders Game! Strategic genius.

Young Einstein, Doc emmet Brown, Wolfgan (the Explorers), The Ghostbusterguys (Ok not Winston, because he is only an emplye) (But Especial Egon Spengler), Q (James Bond), Zefram Cochrane, Montgomery Scott (Scotty), Dr Frankenstein,..... You missed real maaaany (More genius than the named ones :-) )

TERRIFIED MORTIFIED PETRIFIED STUPEFIED BY THIS LIST

I could never figure out if he was just a bit mad or a genius; Captain Jack Sparrow. Thoughts?

Was hoping for Dr. Emmett Brown, at least as an honorable mention.

I feel compelled to watch and play everything they've listed in every video. I don't know why, maybe it's just the way they present it that gets me. Their voices and clips just make them look so appealing.

it's been almost a decade and I still don't get the "how do you like them apples" joke

Heisenberg anyone?

Ender Wiggin, military genius.

Political genius- Emperor Palpatine/Darth Sidous

how about "A beautiful mind"? not even a honorable mention

Is there a Top 10 Saddest Movie Ending list?

Top ten movies that deserve a remake.

The man who knew infinity

Real Genius... For weeks, possibly more than a month, I used to get stoned and watch that on Netflix while sketching down firearm designs. Ended up with a nice little SMG that has something like 30 parts in total. Also tinkered with some semi auto rifles, assault rifles, and magazine designs, but never really got into those.

Do 10 People who deserve a better death in games/movies/anime and stuff like the guy from world war z who tripped and shot himself please

Hannibal should've been on the list as more than a HM.

Andy from Shawshank Redemption

atleast an an honorable mention: heist genius Dalton Russell from Inside Man.

Don't miss these other great Top 10's, Top 10 Movie Jerks Top 10 Movie Anti-Heroes Top 10 Movie Idiots Top 10 Buddy Cop Movies

I love Will Hunting and Wayne Szalinski. Great list, many great geniuses from equally great movies.

where the hell is John Nash?!?

The numbers mason...what do they MEAN!!!

Sherlock Holmes should be a lot higher...I'm not saying he has to be #1, but definetily in the top 3

Matilda

Teen teck geniuses Home invention genius Time traveling genius Literary genius Logical reasoning genius Good time genius Low key genius Savant genius Child genius Hannibal lecter

Where is "A Beautiful Mind" ??

Writing a 5,000 word paper is easy IF the subject is interesting and there are no distractions.

Where is Tony Stark ????

Bruce Banner? TONY FRIGGIN' STARK?!

A beautiful mind (2001) character ''Jahn Nash'' Played by russell crowe

Egon from Ghostbusters Doc From Back To The Future

Kazan from the Cube, he saved everyone else's lives, yet they all thought he was useless.

I think Dr Henry Wu deserves at least an honourable mention

Good Will Hunting! Finally watched it the other night. Best movie ever

Doc Emmett Brown wasn't even in the honorable mentions? We're done here.

Prof Nash from A Beautiful Mind.

limitless should've been close to #1, even though it wasn't natural genius, it still portraited really well what an actual genius would do and what could happen

you missed one- a beautiful mind

Dang I wish Comics counted, Tony Stark would be number 1.

they should have included Matilda on the list

Good Choice for Number 1 ;) Special mentions should include 'Amadeus', and 'Searching for Bobby Fischer' at the least. No doubt. Pretty good start tho, I like it.

Doc Brown, you left out Doc Brown, he only invented the Flux Capacitor and made time travel possible.......

John Nash. Beautiful Mind?

I kind of disagree on Rainman being on this list. If you want to exclude real life virtuoso's.. Rainman is based upon a real person

I think you left one of the best movie with absolute geniusness ' A Beautiful Mind ' . A beautiful movie which will steal your heart with its direction based on the life of the great John Forbes Nash Jr. A Must Watch movie.
