The Good: WarGames (1983)

Made in the early Eighties, WarGames helped inspire a whole new generation of hackers—and you can see why. A young Matthew Broderick plays David Lightman, a talented high school nerd who manages to hack into NORAD and accidentally almost starts WWIII. Lightman’s exploits inspired droves of similarly talented youngsters to become keyboard warriors in the years to come.
