I think "Sneakers" from 1992 is also a popular hacker movie. However, the aesthetics are very much unlike Hackers; it's much more realistic, though (not 100%, but a lot). If you're interested in the "hacker genre" of movies (or its history or various interpretations), imho both Wargames and Sneakers are worth a watch. I personally like Sneakers more.
