Sammael Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Mercury Rising, Billion Dollar Brain, Hot Millions, Net Force, Simone, Virtuosity, Enigma, Colossus: The Forbidden Project, The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes, Explorers, Short Circuit 1,2,3, The Thirteenth Floor, Electric Dream, Logan's Run. A small collection I can remember off the top of my head, there are loads more I would class as 'geek' movies though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duelus Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 The computer who wore tennis shoes, man I have that on VHS somewhere, if my memory servers me right, wasn't in the 60's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sammael Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Yeah, I think thats just before they find Dexter in a trunk, cant really remember much of it tbh. I think Ill have to dig out my copy of it and grab a beer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshuaH Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Track Down, The one about Kevin Mitnick...Not "so" true to the story, but entertaining and made in "modern" times. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0159784/ PS-IMDB lists it as Takedown, but its actual title is Track Down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armadaender Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Computer wore tennis shoes, didn't disney make a re-make of that movie? I remember watching it one late night on disney when I was about 10. "Nobody messes with the viper!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

armadaender Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 I can't believe nobody mentioned Sneakers... Didn't even think to. And believe it or not, I just saw that movie for the first time about a week ago, quite sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jester Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 You didn't even think of The Net. I kinda like that one too. 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

404 Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Track Down, The one about Kevin Mitnick...Not "so" true to the story, but entertaining and made in "modern" times.http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0159784/ PS-IMDB lists it as Takedown, but its actual title is Track Down I own and know it as Takedown, never heard of it being called Track Down. For laughs, cool early 80's computer equipment and total bullpoop hacking scenarios I recommend the WarGames rip-off Terminal Entry: http://zxql3000.net/nerd/nerdmovies.php And the sexy Joy Stricks is full of 80's arcade machines and sleaze, no hacking though. But definately one for late at night with a couple of beers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kickarse Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 It's Operation Take Down when it was in the theatres (didn't it go straight to DVD?) and the box says Operation Trackdown. Can you believe that Wargames was rated R! Yikes! lol... I would classify Sneakers as a Geek movie. But then again I would classify Wierd Science as a geek movie too. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0159784/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comcipher Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Swordfish anyone? That's a fantastic action / hacker type movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooper Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 That movie made me want to puke. Only those exploding body packs (can't decide on what to call what they had strapped to them) with the metal balls was decidedly cool and dare I say creative?

armadaender Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Whole new spin on the old bouncing bettys. Swordfish was a good movie in my opinion. Obviously lacked all realism in terms of 'hacking' but it was entertaining nonetheless. And that's what I want in a movie, to be entertained.
