What is everyone's favourite hacking film, if any, be it 'War Games' , 'C-64 Cracks, Tools & Demos' all the way to Defcon movies like 'Hacks', just post your favourite (if any), it'll be interesing to find out wheather or not anyone actually watches any hacking films.

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

Sneakers.

I wouldn't nessacarily call sneakers a hacking film. Really they are more burglars than hackers breaking into banks, corporations and stealing shit, etc. I mean there is a hacker in their group to round out thier arsenal, but that would be like calling ocean's eleven (the recent version) a hacking movie because one of the characters used was a 'hacker'.

Do we really consider any movie where people use computers to commint crimes "hacking" movies because there are so few out there we feel the need to claim anything bearing a slight resemblence as our own? To tell you the truth I couldn't find anything more boring than watching someone else "hack" for the length of a feature film.

Anyways my favorite 'hacking' movie has to be "Office Space". It's a hacker movie. They make a virus for Godsakes! A VIRUS! If that's not hacking I don't know what is....

Office Space rules but you dont get to see titties :p

Neuromancer

*grin*
i concur.
Hackers has got to be the greatest Hackers movie of all times.
its got quotes from the 'Hackers Manifesto', old-school phone phreaking off payphones and restricted lines but most importantly, as IceMyst as so RIGHTLY pointed out...

you get to see Angelina Jolie's titties

Yes, its perhaps a bit chliched now, but I agree that Hackers has to be the best 'hacking' film ever, I love the Hacker's Manifesto themed content, as endgame said,: How old was 'jolie then anyway?

Well, Hackers was made in 1995, and she was born in 1975, and it's 2005... So she was 20.

Um sin. Sneakers was about two hackers, one of which got caught because of the other. And the main plot is of that little blackbox of magic that can unencrypt anything. ANYTHING. The main guys have to first get the box, then they have to take it back to ensure that it doesn't fall into the wrong hands (which in this movie is the Russian government)

the movie deals with social engineering, hacking, and all sorts of hacking related topics.

For you to say that the movie isn't a hacking movie is retarded.

Hackers. Havent seen too many others unless they are like sneakers and oceans 11/12 to answer your Q on whether some people watch hacker movies. Oh and one called STAT or something but it too was like one of the ones that had a hacker in it. I think STAT was/is what americans have instead of HSC like here and they try and steal the questions.
BUT if a hacker movie came out today (and had reasonable actors/actress then I would probably watch it).

War Games is a clasic, love that one.
Hackers 2 was good too.

I remember liking hackers when I first saw it, tried to watch it the other day...now that movie is just wackie

Real Genius (1985) ... If you could classify that as a "hacking" film, it's more of a Geek film however, but then again it all depends on ones definition of "hacker"...

I always thought Operation Takedown was a bit too one-sided for my tastes. I take parts of it, and parts of Freedom Downtime and try to get the non-biased story from it.

And it was never the official Hackers 2. People just coined it that.

and I know this because I am the all time movie database person. bahha.


oh shit, ph33r.

Then get back on IRC and tell me wtf happens in Memento. I just watched it, and could make no sense of it.

"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)

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 ...
