#2That is actually quite hilarious. I've always wondered where they get the code for movies like that. Thanks for sharing!

#3Can anyone else think of another movie which shows C code in it?

The name is "HaXXXor Volume 1: No Longer Floppy" for anyone searching through the page.
It is on archive.org too: https://archive.org/details/haxxxor_volume_1_dvd

Actually, do we have a list of good computer movies?
I liked the movie hackers when I was a kid and first came out with Jolie and everything but it's kinda ridiculous and the approach is very hollywood-esque.
I found Sneakers to be a great movie.
War Games was kinda old to get me involved when I first saw it. Tr0n is unwatchable (at least the latest version).
I like the matrix (imho best karate one-on-one fighting scenes ever made to date) for a variety of reasons and of course for the ssh root exploit and nmap.
Any other movies we should know of? Is this one any good actually?

Startup (2001) (also named "Antitrust")
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0218817/
it has some C, Java and HTML code. It also explains "open source" and is a pretty good movie. Miguel de Icaza helped them, so you see GNU/Linux desktops and GNOME shell and bash.

#9Here's some of my code in a french TV drama:

I guess they just picked it randomly from sourceforge. It's for an audio effect that a viewer recognized the name of and let me know!

23 is the best hacker film I know of. It's German and based on the Karl Koch story. It's not exclusively about hacking, necessarily, but it is far more realistic than any other I've seen.
Reboot from 2012 is a short film that features a whole lot of real world penetration testing tools and security lingo, but was overall poorly executed and nonsensical. Still worth a look just to spot all the references.
Antitrust is a programmer film. It's somewhat slow-paced and mediocre, but it has a nice scene with the Unix shell and overall tries to mimic the work environment at Microsoft.
Takedown, which although not that good, is a watchable telling of the Kevin Mitnick saga.
Travelling Salesman is based on computer scientists solving P = NP and creating a crypto weapon for use by the U.S. government. Actually quite intellectual, much like Primer.
That's all I can think of right now.
