OK the Queen of the Girl Geeks is me and yes Napoleon Dynamite is on my Top 10 Favorite Movies of all Time list. I saw this movie really early on before it became a Pop Culture favorite. So here is my ode to Napoleon Dynamite!

Why I Love Napoleon Dynamite 

I love this movie because the characters are real. I have debated this point with a lot of people and I always win. Take a look at the average 15-year old. They also going to look and act a lot like Napoleon, Deb & Pedro. It aways makes me laugh to see movies with hot actors who are 30 playing teenagers. These "teenagers" are well groomed, witty and smart. Napoleon, Deb & Pedro are real...awkward, odd and dressed like a 15-year-olds. I love that about this movie. Note: Yes I know that Jon Heder was not 15 when he made this movie, but darn he was good!

Alphaville Forever Young Album 

Yes I know it's a CD not an album but I am stuck in the 1980's!

This is a must have for anyone who LOVED the Prom Song from Napoleon Dynamite. The ultimate love song. It also has some great songs like "Big in Japan".

We All Have A Little Uncle Rico In Us 

Uncle Rico represents who we used to be. The football player, cheerleader, prom queen. Well I say go Uncle Rico for not being afraid to follow your dreams. Maybe he'll always be playing football alone in a field but as least he's passionate about the dream. In this fast paced digital world we could all use a little more fantasy. So go drag out that football, prom dress and your pom-poms and pretend you're still the best darn thing from the Class of 1988.

I Love Uncle Rico... 

Don't we all. Get a T-Shirt to proclaim your affection!

The Kip & LaFawnduh Love Story 

OK, Kip & LaFawnduh are different. But you know what it works. We all need to take a look at these two love birds and say hey, deep down we are all alike and want the same things out of life and love...a shared milk shake, cool gifts and complete adoration from your partner. So take a look around you might just find love in the most unlikely of places.

LaFawnduh's a Lucky Lady! 

To score some babes just don this sweet Kip costume!

The Dance Of All Dances 

When Napoleon gets up on stage and dances his heart out it's a stellar moment...up there with the Rebels defeating the Empire. It's Maslow's Hierarchy and Napoleon has reached Self-Actualization. A perfect movie moment. I laughed, I cried, I stood up and cheered. If only everyone could have such perfect event in their lives the world might be full of happier people. So the next time opportunity knocks, take a chance and dance, dance, dance.

My Top 5 Lines from Napoleon Dynamite himself... 

in no particular order.

  1. I see you're drinking 1%. Is that 'cause you think you're fat? 'Cause you're not. You could be drinking whole if you wanted to.
  2. Well, I have all your equipment in my locker. You should probably come get it cause I can't fit my numchucks in there anymore.
  3. I like your sleeves. They're real big.
  4. My old girlfriend from Oklahoma was gonna fly out for the dance but she couldn't cause she's doing some modeling right now.
  5. Dang! You got shocks, pegs... lucky! You ever take it off any sweet jumps?
