So, War Games was on last night, with an adorably immature Matthew Broderick.  Who happens to look in that film like my 11-year-old nephew.

Anyway, Mrs LMNO (after giggling at the dial up modem that used an actual telephone), started thinking about how hackers are portrayed in movies, and how that's changed.  But before we can come to any conclusions, we need to list any movie that has a hacker in it.  So we appeal to the community for help.  A few to get you started:

War Games
Hackers
The Net
The Matrix
Ferris Beuller's Day Off (Broderick again!)
Real Genius


Please to continue list.

There's no sun shine coming through her ass, if you are sure of your penis.

Paranoia is a disease unto itself, and may I add, the person standing next to you, may not be who they appear to be, so take precaution.

If there is no order in your sexual life it may be difficult to stay with a whole skin.

Thought not the main characters, in "Gone in 60 Seconds", the guy who breaks into the DMV database, then later gets shot by a rent-a-cop in suburbia.

Anyone ever think about how Richter inhabits the same reality as you and just scream and scream and scream, but in a good way?   :lulz:

If Luna was a furry, she'd sex humans and scream "BEASTIALITY!" at the top of her lungs at inopportune times.

I like the Luna one. She is a good one.

Thanks.

Live Free Or Die Harder is obvious, but there was a hacker in the first Die Hard as well, if I remember.

WEIRD SCIENCE- Protagonists hack into a military computer using roller coaster operating system.
- So the New World Order does not actually exist?
- Oh it exists, and how!
Ask the slaves whose labour built the White House;
Ask the slaves of today tied down to sweatshops and brothels to escape hunger;
Ask most women, second class citizens, in a pervasive rape culture;
Ask the non-human creatures who inhabit the planet:
whales, bears, frogs, tuna, bees, slaughtered farm animals;
Ask the natives of the Americas and Australia on whose land
you live today, on whose graves your factories, farms and neighbourhoods stand;
ask any of them this, ask them if the New World Order is true;
they'll tell you plainly: the New World Order... is you!

Independence Day - Jeff Golblum found Mac-compatible aliens and gave them a computer virus.

Not sure if it counts, but don't Mark Zuckerberg & Co. hack into the college databases to get everyone's info in The Social Network?

There was an episode of Silver Spoons where what's-his-name accidentally on-purpose hacked into the DoD. 

Cynicism is a blank check for failure.

They just WGet'ed publicly available stuff, but I think it counts.
