Software development industry analysis by Larry O'Brien, the former editor of Software Development and Computer Language

Richard Callaby's favorite geek movies are:

  1. Sneakers
  2. War Games
  3. Hackers
  4. Anti-Trust
  5. Startup.com
  6. Triumph of the Nerds

Mine are:

  1. Minority Report (I loved that pre-crime interface! Oh, and you must check this probably-not-intended-for-public-consumption page at Microsoft Research: http://research.microsoft.com/~dcr/minority/functionality_01.htm)
  2. Blade Runner
  3. War Games
  4. Matrix
  5. Lord of the Rings Trilogy

Hmmm... Several of mine aren't about geeks per se, but blissed out my inner geek (I wish I didn't look for matchup errors, rendering artifacts, and kinematic mistakes during movies, but I read Starlog far too much as a youth...)
