Hi,
A pedagogical question. Can folks who use films in their internet studies classes offer a list of them, either to this list, or to me personally? Equally important, tho, would be a few sentences of WHY you teach them or HOW you teach them in relation to the issues yr class explores. We all know the ususal suspects: Bladerunner, for example, and those films that disrupt narrative (Time Code) but what other films or videos and why and how? Thanks in advance.

Although a German film , '23' would be a good addition to this list. It shows the early hacker culture in Germany in the 1980, the state yound people where in at that time, counter culture, protest and all and the early uses and dangers of the net. Sadly a true story, this tells the other half of Clifford Stolls CooCoo's ... I forgot the exact title.... a good story set in the cold war at its innermost border in Germany...... I do not know of an English version, but would not be surprises. nilz
