@Martin: Gosh, great question!
For GOOD nerd movies, I'll say
* War Games
* Sneakers
* Citizen Four (documentary on Edward Snowden)
* The Matrix
* Downloaded (documentary about the rise and fall of Napster)
* Tron and Tron Legacy (I think Tron Legacy is good!)
* The Social Network
* The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (Swedish or English version)
* Pirates of Silicon Valley (TV movie but still so good)
* Triumph of the Nerds (PBS series that is still so good)
* Silicon Cowboys (documentary about the early years of Compaq)
* General Magic (documentary that isn't out yet about General Magic, a company that incubated some of the top tech talent and had an impact, even if its products weren't successful. I got to see a screener recently and it's really terrific.)
For BAD movies that I still love despite their technical inaccuracies and general badness:
* Hackers
* The Net
* Anti-Trust (this one I've only recently started to appreciate. Its a bad movie, but it can be fun to watch)
* The Italian Job - I'm conflicted here b/c I actually think this is a good movie, but it's not a true nerd movie per se. But Seth Green's character is a hacker and so it counts!
What are yours?
