I like to use the Warriors of the Net movie, because it nicely illustrates how tcp/ip, routers/routing and stuff like firewalls work. A _lot_ of students think that the Internet equals the Web and starting with the basics of tcp/ip packets, routing and protocols helps them along in visualizing other ways of interacting using CMC besides webpages. Download the movie here: http://www.warriorsofthe.net/ I understand that you maybe didn't mean a movie like this when you asked, but it's what I use in class now and again :) Frank.

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.
