Top 6: Computer Movies

Our Top 6 list for Episode 16 is about the best movies about computers. Computers are not normally cinematic, and sometimes ridiculous things are done to make them so (see the great programming scene in Swordfish, wherein a swivel chair turns programming into a spectator sport). But once in a while, a great movie is made about computers, and, as we're nerds, they have a particular appeal for us.

What are your favorite computer movies?

As always, we recommend listening to the episode before reading further.
