"Okay, we need proof that we were here... right uh... Okay, yeah, Garbage, gimme Garbage."

My wife and I both love this movie. I thought it was cheesy and unrealistic when it dropped, but it's reflective of a mid-90s era when technology was something to be excited about and there was a lot of hype about "cyberspace" and such nonsense. That's also when I got into internetworking, Linux, and all that stuff. And electronic music. Hackers made people with my interests seem way cooler and sexier than we really were.

As far as 90's cyber films go it was probably The Net that had the most realistic vision of the future. Workin from home, ordering pizza.

I realized the other day that Hackers doesn't really have a depiction of the social milieu of the elite hacker—the BBS. But The Net kinda does. So, point to The Net.
