Come on - Hackers gave us ZeroCool, AcidBurn, CerealKiller... classic, classic awful hacker names and lingo. It's literally a part of our culture today.

Wasnt this the golf movie with Kevin Costner and Cheech Marin?

Top 10 Angelina Nude Scenes

I must admit I am surprised there are enough for a top 10. I thought she only did one or two nude scenes, and her sex appeal was based on the prospect that you'd get to see the goods. I think I even seen every movie on this list! lol I dont even remember her showing boobs in Hackers...thats how forgettable Hackers was!

I've only noticed two exceptions: Command line stuff that appears very similar to DOS or Unix (rarely used anymore), or Apple product placement. I can't remember what movie it was where, like, the entire Pentagon used nothing but Macbooks. I found that...slightly curious.
Two awesome computer things come to mind (both from The Avengers) :

1) Galaga!
2) Saitek Eclipse II keyboards on a motherf*cking flying battleship FTW!

You are right!

I meant Pushing Tin.

pretty cool movie, actually. I think it's where she met Billy Bob and they started exchanging blood.

Oh, and I was wanting to add Original Sin--it was actually the second that came to mind--but I wasn't sure if it was Catherine Zeta Jones or not...whom I don't recall ever having gone in the buff.

Ahhh, the one about the air traffic controllers. Man, I dont remember her nude in that one either. I am shocked that I cannot remember her boobs.

If we stretch to the 2000s, we can include Italian Job. "You'll NeVeR sHut DoWn The Real NapSteR !" Best line ever.

Not really a hacking movie, more like a "heist" movie that included some hacking bits in it. By that route we could really include hundreds of other movies... Heat has someone intercept satellite x-mits, Mission Impossible downloads files, etc.

Apparently the latest Tron showed someone using nmap to probe a network/target and this is the 1st time ever something real was shown in a big movie... I'd be surprised if Microsoft was actually against Windows being shown/used in movies, but it certainly is strange, that, to this day, fake GUIs/UIs are still being made for TV shows & films. Strange.

I was watchin a new Law & Order within the past few months and it has some horrible shit GUI on there showing some "evidence". Looked like some Unix shit from 1992. :hmm:

Jurassic Park. The movie itself was good, but the hacking parts were terrible.
