Hackers 100%

Mean Girls is...confusing to me as a nostalgic property. The movie is real critical of women's social hierarchies while not examining how the gently caress that might be. The main thesis of the movie is, 'Women, we're doing it to ourselves', which is a very 00s sentiment

Tina Fey wrote it when she was at her strongest as a white feminism elemental and it shows

Tina Fey is a very talented funny person who made some witty af observations on the times she lived in

the times we live in have turned out, like bad in a lot of ways, sometimes it is hard to go back and watch things

It’s a shame the documentary on the Hackers bluray isn’t on YouTube or something, it’s genuinely a great watch that goes over a ton of cool stuff including all the shots they used for the intro then the data center and still looks awesome.

Tim Meadows has a tiny part in Mean Girls but makes it funny. Overall good movie. However, I never saw Hackers despite being an old so will check it out good job OP.

Mortal Kombat was so good that they eventually wrote a legit video game sequel just to let Cary Tagawa ham it up as hard as he possibly could for a couple hours

And it was great!

Hackers also has the most random rear end array of costumes in any movie ever

I still laugh at Nikon DJing a party while clearly wearing an Aston Villa 94/95 goalkeeper jersey with the badges removed

I go on a minor hacker movie binge every autumn, since that's when I fell in love with Hackers, and Sneakers absolutely holds up.

Since John Landis is a piece of poo poo, Hackers finally beat out The Blues Brothers and has claimed the crown of being my favorite movie of all time.

Not the *best* movie of all time. But my favorite.

There's multiple goalie tops too, a stack of army surplus and some sick vintage biker jackets including a vintage Barry Sheene Suzuki one worn by Angelina.

I'm so happy Miller and Jolie are still friends after their divorce. It'd really taint the movie if they divorced because one of them was a monster person.

Hackers hands down. It made Computer Nerds cool and it had amazing style. Own it love it.

I own all the orbital albums on disk as well.

Favourite album is In Sides followed by Snivilsation as a whole package, but every album has great songs.

For all of its bullshit, Hackers is one of the most realistic Hacking movies I've ever seen and I can't understand why people get a bug up their rear end about the interfaces being fake.

Do you really want to watch a bunch of pretty people typing commands into a console for two hours?

But outside of those and your one piece of magic movie bullshit (The Gibson,) everything works pretty much how it worked. You don't just frantically type keys and shout ACCESS MAINFRAME or whatever. They do social engineering, keylogging, they dig through trash for passwords, they use phone booths and taps to keep their family out of poo poo...

There's also an argument to be made that since every character sees their interface differently, that what we're seeing actually is a boring Unix console as filtered through their mind's eye.

It's also the queerest movie I've ever seen to not even mention that we exist. Even its one weird instance of transphobia is offset by them playing Dade in a dress as extremely sexy and desirable to Kate.

It kinda was, both movies. I was out of high school when Mean Girls came out, but, it seemed real

Sneakers is a little more accurate but has far less titties. I think the lack of titties is one of the contributing factors to its accuracy, though.

I never get the last word, and it makes me very sad.
I've always loved both Hackers and Sneakers as a young nerd growing up in the 90's, but the older I get the more I love Hackers. It's the perfect 90's nerd fantasy.
