Ads that a person sees on one Google search may be influenced by what was searched a few minutes earlier. Searching for "scuba," then something else, and then "vacations" could pull up ads for diving trips, for example. - Adam Gershenbaum

I'll start: MATRIX 1 because of the interesting use of effects, esp 'bullet time' and amazing sound. Sadly, I could have done without Keanu, but oh well. Trinity is amazing, great outfits. And any movie that ends with Rage against the machine has to rock. - Jeremiah Owyang
An oldie but a goodie - War Games. The concept of a learning computer - WOPR - in 1983 was pretty cool. Plus, I had a crush on Ally Sheedy :) - Bryan Hunter

Minority Report (like idea mother of MS Surface) : ) - Erhan Erdogan
The underrated Sneakers..... And for old school, War Games.... - Chris Reed
My two favorite movies are Ali and Spaceballs, and Ali can't be defined as a tech movie. So I guess it's Spaceballs, although it's more of a business movie (promotions) than technology. - Ontario Emperor
Star Wars... if you count LightSaber as "Tech". Matrix too, albeit I would tend to say it is more philosophical than tech. - Parth Awasthi

The First Matrix cuz, for some reason, the technology in it seemed plausible and the Operator desktop with all the scrolly crap reminded me of my Linux setup - ♫ Rahsheen ™ ★
2001: A Space Odyssey. HAL, but also the gorillas with bones and spaceships. Man becomes dependent on tools. - Jason Kaneshiro
war games for it's accurate depiction of phreaking in the early 80s, tron since it got me into 3d animation as a career, and BBS: the documentary (http://www.bbsdocumentary.com/) because it's brings back tons of memories. - Doug Brooks
Three movies popped into my head before I read any comments. Others have mentioned them all.... War Games, Tron and Sneakers. I think we've defined a new move genre. "Tech Films". I guess perhaps, "Metropolis", although considered sci-fi really spoke to what would happen with advanced technology. Maybe we could also add Chaplin's "Modern Times" to the list. One last film that may qualify, "WestWorld". I'm sure there are many more that I'll think of with a few hours to ponder. - Kevin Shannon
iron man! ok, i just saw it but still... - Frankie Warren
Sneakers was good. I kinda like Swordfish and many of the others already listed. Untraceable (recently released on DVD) was ok as well. I think the main thing is we always find fault with the ones that try to be accurate but aren't. I find myself saying "you can't do that..." or "thats not a real mail application". - Delete Me
Wait William... you mean Hackers wasn't real?? I guess you think Sandra Bullock's movie "The Net" couldn't happen either!? - Yolanda
First Matrix, bar none. Nothing else competes. @Jeremy Johnny Mnemonic was GOOD? You did read the book first, right? - Cyndy
While I really like Short Circuit, Matrix is definitely my favorite. Those who know me, know that my "in game" name is Trinity. - Becca
Matrix does do an example job of bringing up issues that I think are important. How far are we willing to become dependent on technology? - Leif Hansen

The Thirteenth Floor. Better than Matrix, in my opinion. Wargames for sentimental reasons... I actually had my younger brothers convinced for years, that Matthew Broderick was me... (I used a stage name because it was a secret from Mom & Dad that I was acting!) - Kenneth LeFebvre
Totally random, but I love Lawnmower Man - Kevin Cuneo
"Sneakers" - Best Line "It's about who controls the information..." a movie before its time. - jyamasaki

@cyndy - was being sarcastic, the first examples were all terrible. By the way, I'd add in "Enemy of the State" for cool surveillance tech - Jeremy Toeman
c'mon...The Fifth Element? Anybody? Totally what the future will be. - Marc Vermut

While I'm partial to War Games and The Last Starfighter (hey, I went to see TLS *musical*...) I have to say that none of 'em top Real Genius. - felix
Hackers - it was the movie that first got me interested in computers. I have yet to meet a developer that looks like Agenlina Jolie though ;) - Devlin Dunsmore

many favs: Matrix 1, Paprika (anime), and Minority Report - Carolina Velis

Are documentaries allowed? Startup.com. They could have swapped out govworks.com with any dot com i worked in pre-bust and it would have been the same storyline. - J.J. Toothman
Wow, no one mentioned Blade Runner? Loved the 5th Element, Marc. Real Genius, great. Sneakers. Matrix 1. Star Wars. War Games, god this list is great! I can't decide. I hope you blog it somewhere for reference. If anyone ever wants to learn about our geek culture, we can link them to the post! - Christine Cavalier
Hell yeah War Games, Real Genious, Fifth Element and Swordfish all great. I am so watching War Games tonight. That totally got me into BBS too. I remember the first time I logged onto a BBS I felt like I was about to hack into something like in war games. I can't remember the name of the movie but it had these robotic bugs that injected people and poisoned them. Well it looks like the military will now be using robotic bugs in less than six months: http://streetknowledge.wordpre... - Adam Gershenbaum
The Last Mimzy. Not the best movie, but we get a glimpse of what Intel can power waaay in the future. - Nathan Hull
What no votes for "Weird Science?" Can you imagine making Kelly LeBrock!! err...well making <insert your fav., I'd have to say Jolie> - Snay Trivedi
I'll have to go with Bladerunner. Except for the replicants, I think that will be very much our future - John Frost
Hackers. Loved the part where they are drooling over the laptop with the built-in 56k modem. - Richie Escovedo
What, no Terminator? I"m sure someone out there is building Skynet as we go about our business. When they finally make Ender's Game into a flick, then we'll have something to talk about! - Marc Sirkin
When The Matrix came out, I was working in IT as a network administrator. It felt great to see computer geeks portrayed as kung fu badasses. - Wade Rockett
@Matthias 06:34 Euclid Predicts: Pi will remain the best 06:35 Press RETURN ;) - Mario Olckers
definitely Office Space. no tech show-off, cheap effects and hackers. pure tech life. - Berk D. Demir
Linked Data Leaders: The Semantic Web Is Here
Two Linked Data visionaries say the standards are in place and the Semantic Web vision is a reality -- you just have to know where to look. - Adam Gershenbaum
