In my opinion, which is pretty much all that matters, the greatest hacker films of all time are listed below. Nowadays, almost every watchable action film has at least one scene where a hacker does his thang. You may have noticed a pattern in most of these films, hackers are criminals. As all of you know most hackers are not criminals, but curious hippies. It’s to bad today’s youth spends more time watching and believing TV then their own teachers and school. That’s why you see hacker’s these days receiving 70 years in jail for the most retarded things ever, when there are child molesters getting almost nothing. Damn you gypsy magic doers!
