"Hackers"- you get to see Angelina Jolie's titties

^^ Never seen it, however that might change

I liked swordfish. Basically thats the only hacking movie i have ever seen.

Swordfish kicked ass.

Hostages + Explosives + Ball-bearings = Best hacking movie ever

New favorite "hacking" film, "Mr and Mrs Smith"... Granted it's more of an asassin film but comeon, they did hijack a power grid...

I totally forgot about Sword Fish. That movie rocked! Especially since you got to see Halle Berrys tits :p
Mr and Mrs isnt out here in Auz yet but its going to be good. Anything with Jolie is good.
Also I loved the story behind the Matrix. That in my definition is definitly a hacking movie just less computer based and more plugged. If that made sence.

You'll LOVE Mr. and Mrs. Smith lol... It looks like a "bang bang shoot 'em up" film; but it's really more of a commedy if anything...

"Ask the sex question again :holds up 10 fingers: :mouths TEN TIMES!:"

Mr. and Mrs. Smith is out mate, Also Madagascar is a great hacking movie to! Honestly go see Madagascar, you will think its a kids Movie but its really really funny!

madagascar hacking?!
wtf?!
its about a bunch of animated animals being deported to another country.

swordfish was redeeming in the fact that its main character was arrested initially due to the 'karnivore' program developed by the FBI
(coincidently, the movie was out 2years after the leaking of the existence of karnivore to the public. The first time i had actually heard of karnivore was on the news section on UGN Security)

and lastly...
anyone know the name of that song in Mr. and Mrs. Smith? the one played when they were dancing in the rain in the begining and at the final showdown in the end?

Hey, the penguins did hijack the ship... and they where little 'leetnesses'...

Aight, just so I can educate all of you.

The Net.

Sandra Bullock + hacking = uNF

Johnny Mnemonic was pretty good hacking movie, at least back in 1995. Maybe a bit too sci-fi but ... oh well ...

I forgot about the net. That movie was awsome!!!

AGREED. But I totally forgot about it. Thanks for reminding me though, definitly have to hire it out sometime.
Oh and another one that has missed us is Entrapment with *melt* Zeta Jones.

I hate hacking movies. At least everyone I have seen. The make sure to cram in as many "h4ck3r w0rd2" as possible. Sword fish is a perfect example. Ole boy is getting a bj while cracking the DOJ net. After that, John Travolta is asking him how he did it. Listen to how he crams the buz words in there.

The font on the PC's is allway something like 55px. Some of what they show is about as realistic as sending 10 emails to your friends and seeing the taco bell dog run across your screen. The only good point is usally the hacker is the good guy. Why not make a realistic hacker movie. There is enough out there to OMG base one off a real persons life events. Say

The list goes on. We can't make a movie on the true life events of one of these guys. Not a flash in the pan movie, I mean a full hollywood production with decent actors so I belive it. No lets show some Matrix with a 3d hologram floating around like in hackers in the early 90's. Where the chief of IT security likes to ride around on a skate board. WTF is that shit.

The matrix, good movie. Loaded with bull shit
Sword fish Bull shit
Hackers, loads of bull shit
war games okay I like it, but still bull shit
The net with sandra, BULL SHIT


To pick a favorite I would have to say Pirates of silicone valley. If you have not seen it... Get it.

mm, I agree with you a bit there, but I don't think that accuracy is something that the people who made the movie were looking for- what I mean is, thats not the point, I mean its the closest thing we can get to movies that are about our society. One thing I don't like about them though is that they give the public a really bad impression of how h4cking works.

Here is what I am saying. I get that you need to entertain people. I get that a movie about a guy reading and sitting at a computer the whole movie would pretty much suck. But there are wild crazy real life stories that would lend them selves perfectly to a big screen. Why just make up some bull shit that could never work in the real world when you have the real deal.

A big trend in hollywood now is accuracey for time periods. When they do that with computer movies I will enjoy them a bit more. Though I do like Angelina Jolie's titties
