I did use google i was just wanted the opinions of actual hackers than people posing as hackers so they can raise there post counts on a shitty movie fanbase site.

nah its fun to see it 1 time but after that it gets boring to watch it again …

though the way they "hack" is kinda amusing, if you see the movie you'll know what i mean…. its a lot of bullshit…

I love hackers. Again the hackstuph is brutal, but I like the charachters, and the music, and fashions etc. Not that i wear those clothes and listen to the music all the time or anything.

Anti-trust is a really good, open source, geeky movie.

The Core has hacking references ("He wants me to hack the planet?!?")

The extended version of Independence day has some brief hacking references.

The Italian Job(the new version) has some minor Hacking references.

Wargames(Duh!)

I hated Take-down, as kevin Mitnick was portrayed very badly in it, but its worth a look.

Sneakers is cool,

Not a movie but a documentary, which you should have in your collection is Freedom Downtime.

Thats all I can think of for now.

Im not really a big fan of hacking films many of them are way to fictional with the trade mark black screens and green text flowing across the screen at a stupid speed lol.

You have to take it with a pinch of salt. I like the idea that hackers, like in "hackers" itself, they are characterised, as strong, attractive, physically co-ordinated individuals, with dress sense, and a sense of themselves.

Its a mirror image of most of the hackers I know. Who arent really any of the above. Me included.

If you don't belive in a black and neon green colour scheme you should see my PC! and yes the text does go at ridiculous speeds too.:D

Hackers was a great film. I liked gone in 60 seconds too after seeing it I wanted to go out and steal cars. But the Matrix is the best all though totally abstract it could be real because of the concpets involved.

If it does exist I am morpheus If not I am the Architect currently building the matrix :p

the movie that was "based" (… sortaish) on kevin mitnick is called operation takedown… yah just saying

other than that a really good hacker movie is Freedom Downtime. Its a documentary about the "Free Kevin" Movement (if you can call it that) that was going on, its made by the guys over at 2600 magazine.

– Edit : syklops already mentioned freedom downtime, didnt see it sorry.

I love the film hackers :) It realy is one of my favourite films of all times and yes i am a romantic :D But i just like the ideals in it of looking after youre friends and getting one back at authority…. But really am I the only one who wishes they had friends into this type of thing?

What DO people believe in? The Shell and Command Prompt are the two greatest inventions in the computer world. I myself do prefer the Black text on an Amber background (easier on the eyes) but hey that is just me right?

Windows GUI has made so many people dependant on a Graphical User Interface that they do not ever touch a Shell screen. It saddens me!

May I suggest Revolution OS? I thought it was good. I think it's a documentary though.
