Good movie.  Another movie that I'd suggest is a German flick called 
"23".  It's a cross between the Chaos Computer Club hackings (detailed in 
Cliff Stoll's book, "The Cuckoo's Egg") and Robert Anton Wilson's 
Illuminatus trilogy.  The main character is a hacker who goes around the 
twist due to stress and paranoid obsession over the Illuminati.  It even 
has a cameo appearance by RAW himself.

Hey, no one's mentioned "The Math Song" by The Darkest of the Hillside 
Thickets yet...  What's going on around here?  #%o)

"'Kevin,' David interrupted, 'what the Germans should have done
was show the Russians a dead cat and ask them to explain it.'

"'That would have stopped the Soviet offensive right there,' I said.
"Zhukov would still be trying to account for the cat's death.'"
