I know it's poor HN etiquette to pile on 'Me too' responses, and I'm ordinarily very good at refraining, but in this particular case, Primer can't be recommended enough.
I've watched it about 8 times now, and I'm only 'mostly' sure that I understand all of it. It's brilliant beginning to end, and is sometimes on Netflix.
* Pirates of Silicon Valley (1999)
* Revolution OS (2001)
* Code Rush (2000)
* The KGB, the Computer and Me (1990)
* Infinity (1996)
* Antitrust (2001) -- mildly entertaining and fun
A great hardware hacker movie, and one of the greatest movies of all time. Excellent character study of the withdrawn hacker personality type. It's even set in San Franciso. Coppola's best work, bar none. And that's saying something.
You see it a lot in Korean movies and TV from the last decade. Very cool effect. I appreciated it in the excellent Sherlock series too, although in general season one was much more enjoyable/original/faithful than the second.
The Millennium Triology
(Thou shall watch the 2009 version. The Hollywood one is crap).
3 movies. Involving hacking + The hacking parts are not total garbage as in other movies. But there's one scene where they say that she needs a faster computer to download things faster -.-
I dunno if the movies are available in English. But there should be at least swedish, norwegian and german ones.
Wonderful movie, the script is smart and complex, budget is tiny, ideas are huge. Watched it 5 times, still don't get parts of it, but it's brilliant.
