Favorite Hacker/Programming Films/TV/Docs - c_smooth - 06-02-2015
This is probably a well worn subject, but with Halt and Catch Fire being in season 2, what are some of your favorites? I'm interesting to see how many foreign films people have seen.

Although I don't watch hacker movies because of, well...the sci-fi of it; I did enjoy War games
My favourite character will have to be Rat, from the Core

Does the Matrix count, I'm going to say that.
RE: Favorite Hacker/Programming Films/TV/Docs - c_smooth - 06-05-2015
Yep, that, definitely counts, I love war games, though, I have never seen the core. It looks really interesting, I'm going to check it out.

In the Realm of the Hackers- http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1199631/

Hackers and Trackdown/Takedown (different names depending on region.) I've only sen Takedown once but it's pretty good. I've watched hackers too many times to remember. It's a guilty pleasure :p

Not really a "hacker" movie, but it's still better than anything here.
