I have noticed across the years since 2000:

- a bunch of nmap appearances (notably Die Hard 4 and the Bourne Ultimatum, also one of the Matrix movies)

- some default OpenBox with XTerms in a few series

- KDE quite a number of times too

- SSH, bash and Unix FS exploration (cd, ls -l and its output, find, grep) at times

In fact it's sad that so much of the computer scenes are bad, but I've seen enough actually good attempts at being realistic that I can't remember where I saw them. What's sure is that the trend is upwards.

Y'know the 3D filesystem in Jurassic Park was a real program too, and it was based on a UNIX system.

(I think it's a file explorer for an old SGI box; which makes sense as SGI was commonly used in the production of movies.)

Aye it's FSN/Fusion: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fsn

There's even a screening of fsn in action on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zaRHU1XxMJQ
