Mainly i think films related to hackers/computer security suck.

On the other hand, I didn't watch all the films of the list. But usually the films don't capture the reality, that's why they suck.

Just an opinion ...

I swear by sneakers. It involves all sorts of hacking, phreaking and social engineering. Whistler was the sweetest

What can beat a blind man driving?

Enemy of the States are the best one! (according to me)

i have to say Anti-Trust was really good. i dont know how realistic it would be to get cameras on all the wouldbe coders thought

sneakers and anti trust

prefer action movie then computer related movies. feel tat there is no meaning in it..

movie hackers... heh
I remember when i saw that movie for the first time, i and my friends where like: oke we gota hack something....
Swordfish is not that bad, its not realy geeky film but its oke, afterall its stupid hollywood movie
Takedown or like some of us call it Hackers 2 is great too, but it could be done better wit h more imagination, or more realistic.

and about anti trust its one of the worst films that i wached.

Sneakers i didnt wached yet, i gona wach it, but they sat it's not that good.

to submit: there is no realy good geeky/hackers/computers film !

Because movies have to appeal to a wide audience, they can't be full of things that computer enthusists want to see....namely accuracy .

For example, i saw this film the other day (i can't remember the name) where a man programmed an app that could hack into some obscure branch of the government in minutes. I wish i was that good.

Welcome to the scene is a pretty nice independant serie which is realistic. I love Hackers, not because it's realistic but because it's funny

The only *real* form of hacking you could put in a movie is social engineering. It's not entertaining to watch someone code for 2 hours (average movie length.. give or take.)
I only saw the original Hackers, and I merely got a laugh out of it.. but that could just be me.

i like all the series of "The Lawn-Mowerer" film. It's good.

i like all the series of "The Lawn-Mowerman" film. It's good.

i think ghost in the shell the least realistic but the animation is cool.

The best hackers movie for me is Hackers 1 i 2 and In Cognito! Oh I like to watch movies like those

hackers one is pretty inspirational
