I agree with you Big-EBig-E wrote:You all forgot War Games, but G-Brain is right - they all suck. I suggest watching tutorials opposed to a fictional movie. Although pirates of silicon valley is based on non-fiction and imo is probably the best movie listed here - it`s a 'documentary style' movie.

hacking is not glamorous
Its funny, hacking is boring, takes a long time to acoomplish, and requires study of eye-burning technical manuals. Yet everyone likes the 'power' associated with hacking. I mean cops get to shoot guns, and drive cars with flashing lights, but yet no one wants to be a cop
Trying to video or play a hacking scene in a movie is very hard to make exciting. Most of the work might be command-line and obfuscated words - shit that 99% of people ain't going to know whats happening. Even hacking with a GUI is going to be a non-event, unless someone codes the app to say "Welcome" after cracking a password.
So I guess the best hacker scene was the hacker in swordfish who had to hack in to a account, at gun-point, while getting his dick sucked - cuz thats what hacking feels like to me
The Matrix is also a good choice of a movie, the conceptual plot.
Will you take the red pill or the blue pill?

Ah yes, 23: Nichts ist so wie es scheint. Very interesting, especially because there's a movie with the same story from another viewpoint: The KGB, the Computer and Me.bad_brain wrote:well, I know ONE hacker movie that is really good, sadly it's only available in german language (I guess), the movie is named "23" and about the german hacker Karl Koch alias Hagbard:
