I like Wargames much more. Still, people is right that we should take the 'hacking' (cracking) scenes artistically, as a metaphor on what's happening inside the mind of a cracker.

If a movie ever had the balls to show real hacking people would see how utterly f cking boring and uncool it looks.

It’s like prog rock. By and large, hot chicks are interested in bands like Motley Crue and Bon Jovi.

But prog rock never got chicks wet. It was always music by nerds for other nerds.

I think a realistic movie about hacking would be the same. By and large.
