This movie helped define me as a teenager. Seemed like it played every week on either TBS or TNT.

I love, love, LOVE this movie. It happened to be on the other day and I totally waxed nostalgic about it. My SO thought it was simultaneously ridiculously nerdy and kinda cute. I guess she has a thing for dorky guys.

Wired has an interesting article this month about the 25th anniversary of WarGames. Basically an oral history by the producers and others involved with the movie:

WarGames: A Look Back at the Film That Turned Geeks and Phreaks Into Stars

Another small thing about this movie that I love is the list of war scenarios that the computer rapidly goes through at the end. Stuff like "East Asia Surprise" or "India Heavy." Most of the list sounds vaguely dirty.
