Revenge of the Nerds is more of a gross out or sex comedy masquerading as a story about social outcasts.

Real Genius has more of a real plot with a plausible protagonist with a real story arc that has some meaning outside of the central character.

exactly

Revenge of the Nerds is on part with others 80s low comedies like Police Academy and Porky's. they rely on a ruse to justify hijinks

Real Genius is a legit movie without the crutch

Real Genius also has the superior 3rd act which is like a low key heist film

Everybody Wants to Rule the World FTW also

Real Genius for me, hands down.

It reminded me of college, my friends and acquaintances, and the general vibe. I went off to a private college where almost everyone was very smart and ambitious yet also odd, quirky, different. Everyone studied hard and played hard. The dorm environment was a lot like Real Genius. We also spent countless hours in the lab.

I still watch Real Genius every now and then and it feels so nostalgic.

Real Genius is the better movie. Nerds is more of a classic, though.

What about that time I caught you naked with that bowl of jello?

You did not!

This is true.

I was hot and I was hungry!
