What is the bestest IT related film? I'm thinking The Life of PI or Nodes[^]but I'm sure there're others out there.
Any suggestions?

Antitrust is a favorite of mine.

Mine as well. It really is a terrible movie, but thinking of Tim Robbins as an evil Bill Gates is awesome.

America is the only country that went from barbarism to decadence without civilization in between. -Oscar Wilde
Wow, even the French showed a little more spine than that before they got their sh*t pushed in.[^] -Colin Mullikin

As far as evil Bill Gates go, there is Samuel L Jackson lisping his way through Kingsman as well (but that isn't too bad, for a brain-out jobbie)

Forgive me for being a smart-elephant but methinks the movie you are thinking of is Pi:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0138704/[^]
Life of Pi is very far from IT:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0454876/[^]
Both are pretty cool movies though. 
War Games is another one. Not a cinematic masterpiece but still some retro-coolness there. But we could ask HAL900 for the ultimate answer...

Hackers[^] with a young Angelina Jolie. 
And even though you didn't ask, the WORST I can think of is Electric Dreams[^]

The problem with quotes on the internet is that you can never tell if they're genuine
Winston Churchill, 1944

Shirley "You got mail" must be a contender?
|
|

Not for me, I don't like neither Tom Hanks nor Meg Ryan (no matter how many orgasms she can fake)...
And don't call me Shirley!

You don't like Tom Hanks in that movie or in general?
As he has acted in some very awesome movies, Cloud Atlas and Green Mile come to mind.
I can understand you not liking Meg Ryan in general.. I don't either 
|
|
|
|

In general. I haven't seen Cloud Atlas, but despite my antagonism against Tom Hanks, I would like to...
I can't say why, just think that he may be too wimpish for me.

Evidently you haven't seen Saving Private Ryan...

I was afraid of how Halle Berry was going to be in that movie, but it was ok in my opinion.
Yeah I can understand why you would think of him as wimpish. I mean he did play in Saving Private Ryan - but as I recall that is the only movie, where he really is a tough guy.

I meant contending for the Worst. :duh:

That makes sense...

I am totally out of touch with the movies world and the only one I can think of is "The Matrix" with Keanu Reeves as "Neo" when one of the Agents says "The search is already runing ..." or something like this ... this is for me the best and only IT related movie

These are just IT related movies that come to mind.
Hackers
War Games
Matrix
Pirates of Silicon Valley
Terminator?
iRobot
SwordFish
Tron

Office Space.
How can you all forget that?
Also, most of the Bond movies involve transfer of billions using computers.

Office Space!
How did I forget that one!?! Thanks for mentioning that. Such a great movie. At our company we have this server which we will one day in the near future PC Load letter that ancient box. Office Space style!

Not sure about film off-hand. But for TV you should definitely check out "The IT Crowd".

Heading up country on the weekend to celibrate her 3rd childs 60th. The eldest Grandkid is 46 and eldest Great Grandchild is 18.
I'll have to start putting away to have a big 90th party for her next year.
