I was in college studying computers when this came out. Drove past Stuyvesant (their HS in the film) daily. The depiction of tech was completely silly back then, but the jargon was actually pretty spot on. The soundtrack still kills it today, and the film is up there with The 5th Element in the "if it's on, I'm watching it" category.

Just brilliant. Absolute classic moment.

One of the best fun dumb but oddly accurate characature-of-90s nerd culture movies ever.

Ha, there was a year where I watched this movie almost everyday. Still listen to the soundtrack from time to time. To this day not even sure why I had an obsession with this. The only thing that ended up solving it though was my next obsession, Buffy and then, The Matrix.

Another pick from the vault - the Wachowski's first movie "Bound." It features all the things they would use in later movies and is also really sexy.
