I rewatched WarGames recently. It holds up and is worth watching again. In particular with our current concerns over AI it feels ahead of its time.

The interesting thing is that I think WarGames was likely [heavily] inspired by Colossus: The Forbin Project [1], released in 1970! It too, holds up extremely well.
