I came across this post on Arstechnica today about matching up hacker movies
Including and beyond what is in this chart, what is your favourite movie that portrays a hacker ?
“Hackers” - Hackers (1995) - IMDb
It’s not accurate, but it is my favourite movie portraying hackers.
Other than that: Sneakers, War Games, and of course the numerous episode of NCIS (double handed keyboard anyone?).

Does Brazil count?
Aronofsky’s Pi
can’t beleve they left out Swordfish, I guess it’s too realistic.

Hackers is awesome…especially the bit where they fly around the database.

@Jarrett posted this in slack, but apparently that was a real thing (slightly modified for Hollywood)

The one in Jurassic Park!
I don’t think the Hackers one is real.
That’s pretty sweet - a girl, working with Unix, in 1993.

I’d go old school and say WarGames

What is the most realistic Hacker Movie?
I forget the movie, but it had modem phone dialing random numbers.
This is something I actually did, it was quite easy to get a connection.
And this was the days of 8 char usernames and passwords.
there is a reason my user name is 8 char.
A modern hacker movie should include fpga crypto and usb firmware hacking
perhaps some hard drive controller hacking.

What is the best hacker video game?
It’s a rhetorical question.
It’s System Shock 2.
They named this search engine after the games villain.
I sense a hacker movie night in our future.
