Review of Wargames (1962) by Michael C — 10 Feb 2008

Loved this movie when I saw it in the threatre 25 years ago! Watched it again last night and it holds up for me but for different reasons now. The setup was far more plausible then than it is today (And even then a big chunk of it was way out there), back when the Intranet (As it was called) was a sort of Wild West domain of the people who were still in the process of building it.

Of course now I watch it as a Cold War period peice and chuckle over the things that simply don't exist any longer, like telephone booths and soda can pull-tabs!
