Dade Murphy: Yeah, ma?
Mrs. Murphy: What are you doing?
Dade Murphy: I'm taking over a TV network.
Mrs. Murphy: Finish up, honey, and get to sleep. - Error601, on 12/24/2007, -4/+90So far every movie except War Games that tries to show hacking in a dramatic story just causes me eye rolls and laughter. It's not too surprising since they trying to take one of the most boring activities ever and make entertainment out of it. It's like making an action flick about manufacturing plastic forks.
- markperia, on 12/24/2007, -4/+76I thought Neo's famous words were "Whoa!"
- PabloIV, on 12/24/2007, -8/+69A revision to the list:
#2 Kevin "Warlock" Smith on Die Hard 4
And he's #2 just because he can't fly and stuff like Neo. - thedragon4453, on 12/24/2007, -2/+54I really wasn't going to be able to believe that no one from hackers was going to be mentioned. Thank god.
Hack the Planet! - inactive, on 12/24/2007, -2/+44Mitnick isn't a fictional character!
- Androfire, on 12/24/2007, -4/+40Guns. Lotsa guns.
- childprey, on 12/24/2007, -1/+35YOU CANT SHUT DOWN THE NAPSTER.
- loconet, on 12/24/2007, -1/+33"This is our world now. The world of the
electron and the switch, the beauty of the
baud. We exist without nationality, skin
color, or religious bias. You wage wars,
murder, cheat, lie to us and try to make us
believe it's for our own good, yet we're the
criminals. Yes, I am a criminal. My crime is
that of curiosity. I am a hacker and this is
my manifesto. You may stop me,
but you can't stop us all." - Rosamilia, on 12/24/2007, -4/+36where is Lyle from the Italian job!?
- hakz, on 12/24/2007, -1/+28this guy just remembered a bunch of hackers from different movies, put numbers next to their names and called it a list. Even I could do that, give reasons for your choice.
- swordedge, on 12/24/2007, -5/+32Two hackers and eighteen check your IT brain at the doors. and were is "The Net?"
- inactive, on 12/24/2007, -1/+27Lazlo Hollyfeld only at 18? Inaccurate.
- BeeArePro, on 12/24/2007, -1/+27Where's Gene Hackman?
- fant0m, on 12/24/2007, -0/+25Yeah, but at least with forks there is a premise to the possibility of getting stabbed.
- schrutefan, on 12/24/2007, -2/+26I'm surprised Jeff Goldblum from Independence Day isn't on there. LOL.
- inactive, on 12/24/2007, -0/+24Shall we play a game. At least get the quote right.
- Crispin, on 12/24/2007, -0/+23Neither is Captain Crunch.
- oojamaflip2006, on 12/24/2007, -1/+24Glad to see Ghost in the Shell in there, hacking only becomes really interesting when its biological hacking. Otherwise it ends up as giant flashing signs on the monitor saying 'password correct' after only two guesses.
- elipabst, on 12/24/2007, -1/+23Actually, I think The Matrix deserves to be number one, but not for Neo. Little known fact is that during the scene in The Matrix Reloaded where Trinity breaks into the power station and hacks into their system, she actually uses nmap to do a port scan and uses a real SSH exploit from 1999 to get access. Blown-up image of the terminal:

Sam: Can you fix it?
Harry: No, I can't. But, I can bypass it. - cyrix, on 12/24/2007, -2/+22It's zerocool. Show some respect!
- Jonjonr6, on 12/24/2007, -0/+17Lyle:
Are you kidding me? How does he do that? How do you do that? What are you saying?
(as Handsome Rob) Hey, how are you?
(as Becky) Oh, I'm good!
(as Handsome Rob) Nice to meet you. I'm Handsome Rob. And you are?
(as Becky) Oh, my name's Becky, but it's written on my shirt!
(as Handsome Rob) Listen, I'm gonna need your shirt, and your truck.
(as Becky) Perfect! I'll give them both to you. Would you like my virginity as well?
(as Handsome Rob) If it's on the menu.
(as Becky) Oh, you're so witty! Why don't you take advantage of me?
(as Handsome Rob) Yeah, you're not too bright, are you?
(as Becky) No.
(as Handsome Rob) Perfect. - chkdg8, on 12/24/2007, -1/+16No matter how many "Hacker" movies are on this list, we can all rest assured that Hollywood will never get it right.
- david5t, on 12/24/2007, -0/+13HACK THE PLANET!
- COlNTELAGENTPro, on 12/24/2007, -1/+14Look how far ahead of its time Sneakers was?!! That movie was amazing!! When I was teaching Computer Science at a Community College I made that a mandatory part of the class. Whoever wrote that knew their *****!
- longhorn627, on 12/24/2007, -1/+13Zero Cool should definitely be number one. Hackers is a classic, plus who forgets them drooling over Angelina's laptop with a 28.8 kBPS modem. LOL
- bdlang, on 12/24/2007, -0/+12Hiding out in a giant faraday cage with a cat.
- Tr33fiddy, on 12/24/2007, -0/+12"Peace on earth and good will toward all men... an women"
"We're the United State government! We don't deal in that kind of thing!"
What a film. - chsbrgr, on 12/24/2007, -4/+15Bueller?....... Bueller?.......Bueller?
- captjc, on 12/24/2007, -0/+11Bollocks! Shenanigans! Where is the F-ing Lone Gunmen!
- chicagodj, on 12/24/2007, -1/+12you should find the whole manifesto... but that is one of the best parts
- cyrix, on 12/24/2007, -1/+12He did hack an alien races technology.
God, I hate hollywood. - BlueTunicLink, on 12/24/2007, -0/+11http://www.phrack.org/archives/7/P07-03
- noremacstew, on 12/24/2007, -1/+12what, the guy who over-dramatized every line he had?
hell, keanu reeves is a better actor.
besides, he didn't do a damn thing. he just sat there and watched all of his minions fail. then he died. - bdlang, on 12/24/2007, -0/+9I disagree; I think Wargames was about the closest you're going to get to a legitimate system crack, albeit 1980's style. Tedious boring work with a console.
- techlyc, on 12/24/2007, -1/+10Wrong. Actually, the teacher of the English Lit class did...after Dade wrote it on the board. Cereal's line was "Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most - Ozzy Osbourne" Kate Libby's line, in case you just HAD to know, was "Men only have brains larger than dogs, so they don't hump women's legs at cocktail parties."
Wait... this isn't woodshop class?! - catfish182, on 12/24/2007, -0/+8the matrix was a film about hackers.
The teams would hack into the system and were "trojan's" into the computer system known as the matrix.
the agents were the AV. - shaymein, on 12/24/2007, -0/+8that's right... bueller hacked into his school records in real time to change his sick days... good call...
- rarson, on 12/24/2007, -0/+8Pffft! The best quote from Angelina Jolie in the entire movie is "I hope you don't ***** like you type."
Alas, for some reason, on the DVD version that I have, they dubbed it over with the word "screw." - DarkDragon, on 12/24/2007, -3/+10They need to take out #2-#20 and put in the cast of hackers.
Hack the Gibson!!! xD - LoadStar, on 12/24/2007, -0/+7For as accurate as "Takedown" was, the "Kevin Mitnick" featured in that movie may as well have been a fictional character.
- captjc, on 12/24/2007, -0/+7And He was on there...
Everyone knows that after the whole WarGames scenario, he was taken from his parents, his memory erased and given the idenity of Ferris Bueller. Why do you think his best friend was a 29 Year Old High School Student? Because he was really an undercover FBI agent assigned to make sure he didn't get into the hands of the Ruskies. Duh! - danwallace, on 12/24/2007, -0/+7Or Count Chocula for that matter.
- rarson, on 12/24/2007, -0/+7Actually, Kate's quote was "God gave men brains larger than dogs' so they wouldn't hump women's legs at cocktail parties. -Ruth Libby" Am I the only one that watches this movie on a regular basis?
- MattB123, on 12/24/2007, -0/+7"How about a nice game of chess?"
I loved that movie. I was already a bit of a geek when I saw it but that sealed the deal for me. - parax, on 12/24/2007, -0/+7The line wasn't changed in the actual movie, the quote was not originally Star Trek. In the box office version he always said Xena. The line was changed for TV spots and trailers, depending on where/when the trailer was being broadcast. "Spongebob", "Kung-Fu", and "Star Trek" were all replacements in the various trailers.
It doesn't have anything to do with how the word sounds or its association. It actually happens in quite a few movie trailers where there's a line or phrase in a trailer that's not in the movie itself. It's a psychological trick. Someone who mentally tunes out a commercial suddenly tunes in when they hear something else they're interested in, so they run different versions of the trailer with only a subtle change to activate that mental click in a wider variety of people. - yfguitarist, on 12/25/2007, -0/+6And he didn't even bother to spellcheck. I've never seen "Antirust".
- s1mph0ny, on 12/24/2007, -0/+6YOU'LL NEVER SHUT DOWN THE REAL NAPSTER
- jonmlm, on 12/24/2007, -2/+8lame. they're all there, the order just sucks.
