Ask HN: Films for Hackers?
Hey everyone,
I normally avoid television like the plague, but a few friends have convinced me of the beauty in film. Out of curiosity, what movies would you recommend? Whether related to hacking or not, what have you found most fascinating / meaningful / intellectually stimulation / etc?
Forgive me for being off-topic, but Hacker News provides some interesting perspectives, and I'm curious.

Pirates of Sillicon Valley... a direct to TV movie that is becoming a classict tells the early history of Microsoft and Apple. my personal favorite. -----------< I would like to have a movie about the Dot.com bubble... but don't know of anyone representative > Then the Social Network... to see the founding of Facebook JOBS... the new movie about Steve Jobs is my least favorite, but gives an idea of the departure of Jobs and his return.
