Thanks for this awesome rundown of these hacker-influenced movies. It sure was fun to listen to the ones you discussed. I was especially curious about The Lives of Others, and yes, the following HPR episode did have a good connection with this. Looking forward to watching The Lives of Others in German as I'm trying to improve my learning of the language.

Another movie that is hacker-based is called Whoami, also in German. It's very actiony from what I saw of the trailer, but sure caught my interest due to the topic and the language. Might want to check that one out as well.

Several in your list that I get inspired to watch and some to watch again.

I first watched the movie The Lives of Others first time when I took the course Integrity, technology and surveillance as part of the Human Rights program. It is really good and very relevant today although the methods are different.

By coincidence this HPR episode has a nice connection to the episode next day.

I collect movie recommendations and try to watch them when they appear on one of my streaming services. What a great list - I have only seen about half of this list.

Added these all to my (re)watch list! Thought you might also want to add HCF (Halt and Catch Fire) to your list. The first couple seasons on HBO are classic Silicon Valley meets Mr. Robot. One of my favorite hacker/maker shows if all time.
