After seeing that movie, I put a small pi symbol at the bottom of all my personal webpages (wow, that was back in...'96?) just to be sarcastic. Oh, and according to imdb, "The game that Angela (Sandra Bullock) is playing/debugging at the beginning of the movie is the Apple version of Wolfenstein 3D, similar to the console editions of the game released on the Atari Jaguar and 3DO." Can you do a companion article sometime about funniest computer related scenes? Everyone's watched Office Space, so that doesn't count. :) I second the nomination of The Net.

I didn't include the Matrix because to me that's fantasy and not really expected to be "real." That's the same reason I didn't consider anything from Star Wars or something similar.

In fact why isn't it the #1 entry, and half of the other entries as well? It's easily the lamest portrayal of programming and computers in the last 15 years (i.e, it has no excuse, unlike Wargames) and it has at least a dozen scenes that deserve to be on this list. And then there's the Matrix series, supposedly about computers, and hackers, but with virtually no programming whatsoever. OMG, how is that Swordfish isn’t on this list?

Woudln't it be great if either Mac or Windows did? In every movie I’ve seen with a computer scene, they always boot up in less than 2 seconds. Woudln’t it be great if either Mac or Windows did?
