If you are into computers and hacking, there is bound to be a movie which sparked your interest...(or maybe a book! catch you later on that!  ) some of my favorites are :
1. TRON A hacker is literally abducted into the world of a computer and forced to participate in gladiatorial games where his only chance of escape is with the help of a heroic security program. The imagination behind this movie made big ripples in the science fiction world, and today, Tron is a cult classic that every computer user should see at least once.
2. SNEAKERS While dated, this movie was groundbreaking at the time, and is still charming to this day. The story revolves around two college buddies who take different paths in life. One becomes an ethical hacker, and the other...well, he is not quite so noble. Some great plot twists and comic scenes make this a good way to spend a Saturday afternoon at home.
3. TAKEDOWN This is the sensationalized story of famous phone phreaker, Kevin Mitnick. This is a definitely a B-grade movie but this flawed film is also cult classic amongst hackers.
4. REVOLUTION OS Hackers are not only people who break things; they are people who create as well. This movie is all about the creation of a revolution.This documentary tells the story about the Linux operating system, and how it forwarded the philosophy of "open source" and free intellectual property. Not an action movie, but definitely interesting for people who want to learn more about why computer culture is the way it is. If you can find a copy of this, definitely rent it.
5. ONE POINT O Also known as ‘Paranoia: 1.0′, this film requires you to bring your brain. One Point O is a magnificent art film, and very different from Hollywood movies. An isolated young computer programmer receives mysterious packages, which leads him into a strange world of corporate conspiracy, mind control, and the bizarre lives of his neighbors. Not for impatient viewers, this film is slow, haunting, visually mesmerizing, and intensely meditative… every scene is staged to have its own special flavor. Many viewers recommend watching this film twice to catch all the clever details. If you’re in that rare mood for something thought-provoking and deliberate, then definitely rent One Point O.
6. THE MATRIX Need i say more! This was such a groundbreaking adventure in reality and existentialism. No, you will not learn how to break into a Linux server by watching Trinity port-scanning with "nmap". But this movie is definitely cool, nonetheless.If you are a computer hacker, then you know that you want to be Neo.
This list is in no particular order. Please comment to add your views! Happy Hacking!
