Updated on March 3, 2014

If someone you know and love is a geek, or has Asperger's syndrome, or seems to be an Indigo child, teen, or adult, this movie gift guide is for you.

Although these three types of people may be different from each other (or not), they have many similarities, and enjoy some of the same types of movies.

Check out these three interesting and unusual films you may not have noticed before.

Three Relatively Obscure Movies For Geeks, Aspergers, And Indigos

1 ~ A.I. Artificial Intelligence

I have a friend who fits all three categories - geek, Asperger's, and Indigo. He loves this movie and, although he is an adult, he identifies strongly with the main character, a little boy played by Haley Joel Osment. This is a fascinating film from Steven Spielberg. Be warned that it is very sad in many ways.

This toy is very expensive, but could be the perfect present for someone on your list if you have a big budget! (If you've seen the movie, you know this is a great gift!)
 

2 ~ The Last Mimzy

This is another favorite of my geek Asperger Indigo friend whom I mentioned above. I like this movie better than A.I. because it is not as sad and has a happier ending. Of the three films on this page, The Last Mimzy is the most suitable for children (and wonderful for adults as well).

3 ~ Bicentennial Man

Although Bicentennial Man stars Robin Williams, it is not a comedy. There is much to ponder in this poignant film. Plot elements remind me of the struggle Arwen faces in The Lord Of The Rings, as she, an immortal elf, falls in love with a mortal man.
