Hi all, It seems to me that even Hackers need to relax ! I think that we can learn a lot from movies so if you know movies that can help us in our hacker dailylife please share !

Primer. It's the only time travel movie that gets it right.

Not only is it about plucky young geek entrepreneurs, but by the end of the movie you'll be constructing Feynman diagrams to explain the plot.

You won't believe the movie cost only $6,000

There was a related thread about "movies that motivate you" just a little while ago, too. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1349566
