You can show those types of movies to students... well... as long as they are out of high school.
They watch worse stuff at home... not to mention on the computer.
I guess we should not assume.
(most security classes that I've heard of are college and above)
Heck... I can't find any security related degrees around here as a bachelors... only masters.
wargames is the best till now ... hackers is a realy noob mov ... the matrix is wayyyyy to advance
I would recommend freedom downtime, and sneakers.
FD shows the more political side of hacking, and scoffs pretty hard at takedown (which i thought was alright), and sneakers is just a plain old classic.
Nobody mentioned Jurassic Park???
Everyone always mentons Jurassic Park. For some reaon... I don't remember that movie being a "hacker" movie... Then again... its been YEARS since I've watched it. I'll have to pop that in again...Quote:
jurassic park is a good technology/security movie.
I'd go for hackers.. not only for Angelina but it was way ahead of it's time..
Angelina has an Apple with an Intel cpu :cool:
I would go for;
In the Realm of the Hackers - about Pheonix & Electron - two Australian hackers who were suspected of releasing the Wank Worm the took out NASA in the early 90's good view into the psyche of a teenage hacker.
Freedom Downtime - Mitnick story
.... as they are more doco-movies with real life events as the basis of the storyline.
For the Hollywood take on things
Operation Takedown
War Games
Hackers
.. no one mentioned Enemy of the State ... not really a Hacker movie but from memory bristling with technology.
Well....I'm surprised it hasn't been mentioned...I mentioned this before in the Worst Hacker Movie thread...possibly the worst , corniest, movie ever made about computers/hacking/vr...
Lawnmower Man 1 & 2
Eg ;)
