This film got me into computer programming. As a young kid, I was mesmerised by it. Matthew Brodrick saved the world, got the girl and got to play with the coolest tech at the time. What more could any boy want?
I still think I owe Matthew a pint of good Ale or a Raspberry Pie for single handedly launching my career.
- CamperBob2 13y agoThe novelization by David Bischoff was good, too. As a 15-year-old kid, it was the first time I'd ever encountered the idea of nihilism.
- rch 13y agoMy father only agreed to have kids if we lived near what's now known as the research triangle. Same line of thinking as prof. Falken: go out early. I was born in '78, so guess I don't owe my life to a movie, but it's an interesting tie in.
- harel 13y agoTo be honest, I'd probably end up where I am with or without that film but the early memory of it is so strong with me that I keep making that connection (for that warm fuzzy feeling). I was born at '76 and that tech to me seemed so far out futuristic for many years. It was only in the 90s that before I got my first modem.
