What makes a movie “must watch” for “every hacker and cyberpunk”?

Two criteria come to my mind:

- The movie is likely to teach you something that will make you a better “hacker” or “cyberpunk”.

- The movie depicts what it's actually like to be a “hacker” or “cyberpunk”.

Now, which of the movies on this list are going to do either of those? Probably some of the documentaries, and probably almost none of the fictions.

Cyberpunk is a culture, a style and an attitude as much as a skillset. Fiction can convey these things, sometimes better than truth can.
