    What is the bestest IT related film? I'm thinking *The Life of **PI*** or *Nodes*[^]but I'm sure there're others out there. Any suggestions?

      Forgive me for being a smart-elephant but methinks the movie you are thinking of is Pi: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0138704/[^] Life of Pi is very far from IT: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0454876/[^] Both are pretty cool movies though. :cool: War Games is another one. Not a cinematic masterpiece but still some retro-coolness there. But we could ask HAL900 for the ultimate answer...

          Mine as well. It really is a terrible movie, but thinking of Tim Robbins as an evil Bill Gates is awesome.

              Not for me, I don't like neither Tom Hanks nor Meg Ryan (no matter how many orgasms she can fake)... And don't call me Shirley! ;)

                You don't like Tom Hanks in that movie or in general? As he has acted in some very awesome movies, Cloud Atlas and Green Mile come to mind. I can understand you not liking Meg Ryan in general.. I don't either :-D

                    As far as evil Bill Gates go, there is Samuel L Jackson lisping his way through Kingsman as well (but that isn't too bad, for a brain-out jobbie)

                      In general. I haven't seen Cloud Atlas, but despite my antagonism against Tom Hanks, I would like to... I can't say why, just think that he may be too wimpish for me.

                            I was afraid of how Halle Berry was going to be in that movie, but it was ok in my opinion. Yeah I can understand why you would think of him as wimpish. I mean he did play in Saving Private Ryan - but as I recall that is the only movie, where he really is a tough guy.

                              I am totally out of touch with the movies world and the only one I can think of is "The Matrix" with Keanu Reeves as "Neo" when one of the Agents says "The search is already runing ..." or something like this ... this is for me the best and only IT related movie :-)

                                  Office Space. How can you all forget that? Also, most of the Bond movies involve transfer of billions using computers.

                                      What is the bestest IT related film? I'm thinking *The Life of **PI*** or *Nodes*[^]but I'm sure there're others out there. Any suggestions?

                                      Not sure about film off-hand. But for TV you should definitely check out "The IT Crowd". "Have you tried turning it off and on again..."
