 I'm Tom Merritt from Daily Tech News Show. Here are the top five cult tech movies. ["Cult Movies"] Cult movies! They happen when a bunch of people develop a whole culture around loving, or sometimes hating, a particular movie. Rocky Horror Picture Show is the classic example. There is a whole subculture of things to say and things to throw when you're watching it at a midnight showing. Tommy Wiseau's The Room is another. Cult movies don't have to be good. They just need to be quirky or unique enough that a fan base develops. And there's some great tech examples. Here are the top five cult movies about technology. Number five, Tron. Kevin Flynn is digitized into the digital world of a corporate mainframe, where he is forced to compete in life or death games by a malevolent master control program called Master Control Program, MCP for short. Along the way, he teams up with a fearless warrior named Tron, played by Bruce Boxleitner. Tron's groundbreaking use of computer-generated imagery informed the look and feel of CGI for almost a decade afterwards. Coming in at number four, Hackers. A group of teenage computer hackers inadvertently uncover a conspiracy involving corporate espionage and embezzlement and are then framed by a vengeful corporate InfoSec officer. At the time it was released, actual computer hackers laughed at it, criticized it, said it was unrealistic, technically inaccurate. But over time, it's become a cult favorite among that same InfoSec community because of its ridiculous depiction of hacking. It's just too much fun. Up to number three, WarGames. So quotable. David Lightman, played by Matthew Broderick, inadvertently gains access, you know, as you do, to the mainframe that controls the country's nuclear arsenal. Oops. David must convince the mainframes AI to prevent global thermonuclear war. It's a bad thing. And if you want to see a movie with a modem coupler, 8-inch floppy disks, and war-dialing, we got the movie for you. The only losing move is not to watch. Sliding in at number two, Blade Runner. Are you Blade Runner? The somewhat loose adaptation of Philip K. Dick's Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep. Rick Deckard has returned to duty to retire four rogue replicants. Those are genetically engineered androids who have escaped from the off-world colonies and returned to Earth. Deckard begins to question his own humanity in the course of the film, and there are multiple cuts, so many cuts. In fact, the film is notable for director Ridley Scott's depiction of 21st century Los Angeles, including the use of cityspeak, a Creole language made up of German, Japanese, and Spanish. At number one, The Matrix. A computer programmer named Neo discovers that the world he knows is actually a simulated reality created by intelligent machines to subjugate humanity. But with the help of a group of rebels led by Morpheus, Neo joins the fight to save humanity from total enslavement. Matrix introduced moviegoers to bullet time, slow motion dolly and camera visual effects, as well as the blue and red pill, follow the white rabbit, and the joy of latex outfits. Now listen, that is not by any stretch a complete list of cult classics, but I'd like to know what your favorites are. Send us an email, feedback at dailytechnewshow.com.
