A vintage 80s film that still feels right even if its looks are dated. WarGames my not make my top lists, but it's still a solid movie that keeps things interesting the whole way through.

In perhaps the first hacker movie ever, a teenage boy outwits the government and nearly causes global thermo-nuclear war. Vintage 80's.

Instant classic, Matthew Broderick role as a mischievousness computer hacker really hits the mark in what is still an ongoing debate of computers role in the world. It is also a great example of the Cold War's foolishness.

Do you play tic-tac-toe nowadays?

(Maybe SPOILERS)
No. Because I know nobody wins. Same happend in war. If a stupid computer, created by humans, can crack such a symple concept, why can't we? Maybe is a cheese moral ending for some. But is quite a fact. Matt Broderick acting and most of his characters, actually, are sometimes lame, true. But the flick is great and carries some great trivia that you find over the internet that turns it into a cool one. As well stated is: Instant classic.
