Movies For Hackers is a community-curated collection of films and TV shows selected for people interested in hacking, cyberpunk culture, and tech-driven stories. The list groups entries by genre—thrillers, science fiction, action, documentaries—and includes year, genre, and IMDb ratings so readers can quickly compare titles. It provides both a readable README and a sortable web view for browsing the collection more easily. The repository also includes guidance for contributors and a small script to help work with the list, encouraging community additions and updates under a CC0-1.0 license. The selection highlights movies that explore themes of security, privacy, code, networks, and the social impact of technology, useful for entertainment and cultural context for technologists. Because it’s a plain-text, cross-platform resource, anyone can fork the list, propose additions, or reuse the dataset in their own tooling.
