Hacker High School Movies

There were several scenes in The Italian Job (2003)
(http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0317740/) where Seth Green plays a hacker. The most memorable scene for me is where he hacks into the city's traffic control system to create traffic jams so that the thiefs have a clear get away path, and the cops can't get to them due to the backed up cars. This scene is closer to the end of the movie. I think Seth even mentions a popular exploit in order to get into the system.

My students and I were talking about this as they were trying to talk me into playing more movies for them.

Their favorite was Office Space (1999)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0151804/. There is a scene where they're planning to insert some code in the company's code that will take the fractions of a penny, and instead of rounding it off, it will take that fraction and deposit them into a secret account. The idea being that tens of thousands of transactions a day will add up very quickly. The funny part of this is where they're sitting around a kitchen table discussing the idea and trying to get the third person involved. At some point they say "This doesn't go anywhere beyond the three of us.", and you hear the neighbor from next door shout "Don't worry man, I won't tell anyone".

Finally, if you would like more accurate portrayal of how hackers are portrayed, there's the movie Freedom Downtime (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0309614/), which is an excellent documentary.
Many interviews with and about hackers. I showed this movie to my class, and this is what got them attempting to talk me into showing more movies.

I'm sure there's many more, but I'll give others a chance. I would also be happy to assist with this project should there be need.
