I want to rent a few movies that are based around computers such as the movie Hackers, The Net etc. Any movies out there that you enjoyed that were similar?

I was going to say the net, don't know of many movies that revolve around computers, but if you get bored and you have a girl friend, I just watched the notebook with my gf, and it was the first chick flick i liked in a while, lol

Pirates of Silicon Valley, except I don't think they have it on DVD.

Real Genius, Not based around computers but kind of nerdy...

The problem is most of them are bad. Hackers is a guilty pleasure. So are pretty much the rest of the list below:

1) Sneakers - good flick. Hella cast, great story line.
2) Johnny Mnemonic - Good short story, shame about the movie though.
3) Viruosity - I actually like this film. Something is deeply wrong with me I think.
4) Assassins "Orient your disk for data"? What the heck does that mean? Female lead is hot though.
5) Antitrust - Claire Forlani is hot so I will forgive a lot here. (See a pattern?)
6) Ghost in the Shell very cool, interesting soundtrack. animated though so not to everyones taste.
7) Until the End of the World - just because you asked for similar movies that I enjoy, not necessarily that you would enjoy. (It is 4 1/2 hours long by the way, so a good way to burn 2 or 3 afternoons)
