Mission impossible was ok, I liked Hackers 1 better

Out of the list in the first post, Sneakers is by far the best movie. That movie is just great.

But I think another less-known movie is the best hacker hacker movie, Freedom Downtime. It's a documentary by Emmanuel Goldstein (2600 fame) on Kevin Mitnick. It has a lot of interviews with a lot of old hackers and whatnot. It's nice because you don't see any of that dramatized nonsense as in the movie Hackers. I guess the Joey kid was actually pretty realistic (as opposed to the other hackers being sex symbols on the cutting edge of fashion).

I personaly think Takedown is the best, And death to everyone who calls it "Hacker's 2"

hackers 1\2 and Swordfish..I like them very much, but how ever i think i`ve watch only these two films about hackers

Mission Impossible thats the only i watched :S

All of them where great. Certainly the 3rd mission impossible falls under my top 3:)

My personal favourite was war games, it made me remember when i was little and tried hacking a comodore 64 and such... and the loading times were great too.

As far as movies go, I've always loved the movie Swordfish. I really liked a book I just read though called Digital Fortress. It's by Dan Brown, and if you're into computers you'll probably like this book.

Guess my favourity one from this list was swordfish. I really liked how they dont the movie thou almost all hacker movie look too unreal

Out of that list, I liked Pirates of Silicon Valley. Good historical reference. Kind of shows the mindset of Microsoft. Erg. Another good movie I saw (totally unrealistic, but good story line) was Firewall.

Granted, somehow these people were able to VNC into the terminal of this bank's VP of security, and they were able to crack like... 64 character passwords in a few minutes... but whatever. Good story line. I just try to ignore the realism of those parts.

Swordfish has my vote.

I don't know how anyone could crack RSA in 60 seconds while getting his joystick buffed... We can dream, right?

In the opening I like how Stanley (Hugh) responds to her as being Ginger - He's the Gilligan!!!

You can't forget Tron (1982)!

the film with nina moric i dont remember the title ^^
