Lately I feel like watching computer culture movies.

So far I've seen Tron and Hackers. Any other ones that I might like?

Antitrust
There's a brilliantly accurate parody of Microsoft in this film

It's not a comedy though.

Matrix :-), no seriously, Office Space (brilliant). Its more "cubicle" culture than computer culture but you wont regret watching it. Also, Jennifer Aniston, so you know, princess Leia fantasies.

I really start to like this topic.

WarGames

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WarGames

Which movie I prefer instead of the Matrix is

The 13th Floor

Watch trailer

Not as action packed as the matrix with more focus on the idea behind it !!!

A movie about Kevin Mitnick.

(Personally I think this movie is a bit boring - but well ...)

Hackers is amazing. The actual 'hacking' is a pile of shit, but it's such a fun movie, I can't help but love it.

You mean people don't usually hack government computers in transparent twirling phone booths? There is no physical GUI that consists of transparent depictions of text in a virtual city? You can't make the school sprinklers in the ceiling come on?

Nope, but you can change your name to "zero cool" and Angelina Jolie looks like a lesbo in that movie!
LOL

One cracker that is based around the abuse and misuse of computers is Weird Science.

I watched it the other day.

Who remembers Electric Dreams? Not the song, the movie.
How about Lawnmower Man?

Jim · « **Reply #15 on:** December 10, 2007 »

Or the TV series The Whiz Kids with Matthew Laborteaux?

Top 3 for me:

1: The Matrix.
2: War Games.
3: Lawnmover Man.

Probably you'll enjoy Lawnmower man a lot considering that you liked Tron.

Yes I know all three have been suggested above, just consider this my own little endorsement
