Soundtracks: Revenge of the Nerds (1984)

Revenge of the Nerds is honestly one of my favorite movies of all time. I was a nerdy kid growing up, and I’m still a nerd now, so I’ve always been able to relate to this film. Gilbert’s speech at the end still hits an emotional chord with me whenever I watch it.
