Hackers makes the top of my list of "Hacker" movies, not for any kind of technical/realistic chops, which they deliberately eschew, but purely for its artistic direction. Reasons why I love this movie: - Has the best costumes: Leather, Spandex, cheetah print, that fluffy cat tshirt Phreak wears in one scene. They contribute to a colorful portrayal of a 90's New York overrun by Club Kids, which no other movie except Party Monster really touches. It reminds me a lot of the Fifth Element in some ways. - Has the most memorable characters and talent. Acid Burn, Zero Cool, The Phreak, Cereal Killer, and Joey, not to mention Agent Gills, Razor and Blade, and of course still-dressing-in-the-dark Eugene (Don't call me Eugene) - Has the best soundtrack: Massive Attack, Prodigy, Underworld, Stereo MC's, and more. This movie served as a gateway to high-school-aged me to a whole world of 90's trip-hop and electronica that I still enjoy. - No other hackers movie can claim to have a "Hack the Gibson" level influence for its one-liners and references, except maybe War Games. - Hilariously corny lines and delivery. Perfectly toes the line between being funny-bad and just bad-bad. No matter how many times I see this movie I die every time Gills says "You are floating, and I'm about to flush yo ass!" You can probably tell I've seen this movie way too many times, but I'll never get tired of watching it.
