Favorite Geek Movie

Fu3lman · 07-December-02, 04:29 PM

Got the idea for this topic because i just too recently acquired a special edtition DVD of TRON, and i loved that movie when i was a kid and looking at it again, it was WAYYYYYYYYYYY ahead of its time (1983)...and those lightcycles just pwned...was also the first movie to even mention the word "hacking" in its computer/network related meaning.

I also liked Antitrust, Spies Like Us, Wargames, and Short Circuit (if you listen carefully, they use alot of legitimate terms).

The movie "hackers" was good if you assumed it took place on another planet with completely different computer and network technologies...but the message was there...just not executed the way it should have been...

War Games for me. And although it's not computer lelated I loved The Final Countdown. Time travel always did something for me.
