Swordfish
Take Down (or whatever they are going to call it when it finally hits the US
stores)
Sneakers (showing my age but a classic with Robert Redford as Condor)
War Games
Hackers (horrible film with Sandra Bullox)
There used to be an online archive of movies including a documentary of
"Hactic" by a German film maker (in English) which was excellent but I have
lost it.

A bit off the wall, but as good a place to post this as any :)
I'm writing a tutorial/courseware on security (both basic topics and
programming) and I'm looking for clips from movies or tv to introduce
subjects - I've found that videos work well with introductions and short
breaks to getting the audience in the right frame of mind (as well as
getting them relaxed). So far I have the following....
Jurassic Park - insider threat (the programmer gets the system to bypass
security while he steals the DNA/embryos)
Sneakers - Cryptography (when the team discovers it's a crypto box they
have)
The Net - Personally identifiable information (main characters personal
information is deleted)
War Games - [Not sure yet, not managed to pickup the film]
Hackers - [Not sure yet, not managed to pickup the film]
Any other suggestions? I'm only wanting short (5min) sections, but I'm
willing to edit bit's out if needed.
Cheers,
Mike.
