Hi all,
I just watched pirates of silicon valley again, and I get a very warm feeling when I watch it. I found myself chuckling out loud at some things. I felt so proud to be a mac user! Anyways anyone know any other computer or technology related films? I have already watched Hackers and Operation Takedown, great movies aswell. But I am feeling the geeky itch, so I am looking for one I havent seen. Oh and if someone can recomend a film with hip-hop theme(not 8 mile) I would apreciate it aswell.
Thanks
Patmian

2001 may go without saying, but I've gone and said it anyway, so there.

Catch Me If You Can, while not really a computer-themed movie, might still be interesting. It's very much a cracking/hacking sort of story, just slightly before everything went electronic. A bit of Googling would have made this a five minute movie, if there was a Google then.

Quoting Hackers quotes at the general public is hilarious, especially help-lines :p "Yeah, my BLT drive just went AWOL, and I was wondering what you could do about it?" :D
