We are Searching for the best films involving computers, the internet, hacking or the wired world. Movies in which a computer—and we mean a desktop or mainframe computer, not a humanoid—is a full-blown character, complete with snarky AI personality. Or movies where the protagonist is a hacker/blogger/lost Indian child, dependent upon their device. Channel your inner geek, beat the algorithm, prove your eXistenZ.
