Hackers...it's gotta be Hackers. When I was in college I must have watched that movie 18,000 times. (I would just turn it on in my dorm room and let it run while I did other things. In an unrelated thought: I wonder why I didn't have a girlfriend my sophmore year...) This was back before they had even released it for general purchase on VHS or DVD, so I bought it used from my local video store.
The movie is entertaining, but has absolutely no basis in reality. The best part is when the camera flys through a graphical representation of a database...high comedy. (Don't miss Penn Jillette as the datacenter security guard, either). Of course, there are a few (brief) topless scenes with Angelina Jolie, which, of course, is hot.
