This page provides a list of tech, sci-fi, and Cyberpunk-related movies worth watching.

Fiction

Biography

Pirates of Silicon Valley (1999)

Probably the best movie about the Microsoft vs. Apple war and the tech boom in the 80s-90s. Plus it's pretty fucking entertaining.

Crime/Drama/Thriller

WarGames (1983)

This movie convinced Ronald Regan to make law against this movie happening. The movie is a work of fiction, however, and sadly the law still applies. It makes little sense.

The Net (1995)

If you're an FSFfag, this movie shows the dangers of non-free software :^)

Swordfish (2001)

John Travolta plays a wonderful crime boss who forces this computer hacker to hack into bank accounts and stuff. P great.

Comedy

iSteve (2013)

The first biopic that came out after Steve Job's death, this movie is a hilarious production from the website Funny or Die. This is also their first Feature-Length production!

Sci-Fi + Action/Adventure/Drama

2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)

This is a Kubrick movie, so you know it'll be good.

Blade Runner (1982)

One of the earliest Cyberpunk movies.

TRON (1982)

This movie is almost a romanticized view of the connection between programmer and program.

2010: The Year we Made Contact (1984)

The sequel to 2001: A Space Oddesy, but not a Kubrick production. "My God. It's full of Stars!"

The Terminator (1984)

The Governator at his best.

Weird Science (1985)

Two young men attempt to make a beautiful, sex crazed woman out of their computer, a doll, a modem, illegal government software, and electricity. It goes horribly right!

Short Circuit (1986)

"Number 5 is... Alive!"

Max Headroom: 20 Minutes into the Future (1986)

Excellent cyberpunk movie. TV show version was bad though.

The Matrix (1999)

First one was pretty good. Second one was... less good. Third one was...

I Robot (2004)

Will Smith in the year 2030, robots become commonplace and slaves to humans.
