What's your favorite movie that has computers and technology in it?

mine are War Games and Enemy of the State.

I would have to say Enemy of the State is one of mine as well. I really dig iRobot and A Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy (does that count)?

I really liked Sneakers and Anti-Trust.

Anti-Trust especially, with it's theme of open source software and the big software company's monopolistic hold over the consumer.

My vote is for Office Space. The fact that they blatantly mixed DOS and Mac interfaces when showing the computer screens killed me.

Just goes to show how geeky we are when we look to see what OS computers in movies are running. I do it all the time and get all excited when I see a Mac.

Apple computers are used a lot in entertainment as well. Just thinking back to some recent TV I was watching, a MacBook Pro is clearly visible in season 1 of Prison Break. Unfortunately, the Apple logo on the back of the display is not visible, but the OS is plain as day, and the keyboard styling is unmistakable.

Dell is very big in TV-Series, they show up in almost all the big ones as product placement. 24, Alias, Stargate, etc, etc.. Almost laughed my *** off when they dragged one of those big Dell XPS2 laptops (BIIIG heavy plastic thingy with loads of neon that can change color) around on missions in Stargate.. Who in their right mind would use something like that for military purposes?
