k4m4/movies-for-hackers

This repository is a curated list of movies and TV shows that appeal to people interested in hacking, computer culture, and cyberpunk themes. There is no code to run. It is a reading list in the form of a Markdown document, organized into categories with IMDb ratings for each title. The film list is divided into four sections: thrillers and dramas, science fiction and fantasy, action, and documentaries. Well-known entries include The Imitation Game, Blade Runner, The Social Network, Ghost in the Shell, and Mr. Robot on the TV side. Lesser-known titles from the 1980s and 1990s appear alongside recent releases, and each entry links directly to its IMDb page so you can check reviews before watching. The list also covers documentaries about real-world topics in computer security, surveillance, and internet culture, including titles about Edward Snowden, Julian Assange, and the early internet. A companion website at the project's GitHub Pages address offers a sortable version of the same data, which makes it easier to filter by year or rating. The project accepts community contributions. If a film is missing, a pull request adding it to the appropriate section with a rating from IMDb is the process described in the contributing guidelines. It is part of the Awesome Lists network, a loose collection of similar community-maintained reference documents on GitHub.
