It is a great movie, mainly because it is so easy to identify with, but
also because elements from the movie have become part of geek culture.
It has had such an impact that Swingline brought back its discontinued
red staplers just because of the demand caused by the movie.  That's
pretty impressive if you ask me.  I'm not sure if they made that exact
stapler in red and then later discontinued it, but Swingline has made
red heavy metal staplers in the past.
