With the shock news that Hollywood is planning to make a film based on that <irony/>great</irony> video game “asteroids” http://popwatch.ew.com/popwatch/2009/07/asteroids-movie.html I am left wondering about how IT has inspired movie plots (as opposed to movie techniques).

Fortunately before I cudgelled my brains too hard I found http://www.linuxhaxor.net/2007/08/14/top-20-movies-about-computer-hacking-and-geeks/

So what other films spring to your mind? And do any of them have any credibility from an IT stand point?

I was going to suggest  http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0099864/ as a joke but its tagline of

“The Master of Horror unleashes everything you were ever afraid of ”

it seems pretty appropriate to quite a few IT  systems I have worked on…
