Anybody remember the movie "War Games"?

[aquaman]

"Shall we play a game"

[Ladyhawk]

1. The only winning move is not to play. n/t

[Goldom]

2. That was a great movie.

I particularly liked how the country's nuclear system fit onto some 5 1/4" floppies. ;)

[Rufus T. Firefly]

7. Or the huge modem.

The kind that you actually had to put a phone headset on. I think they were 300 bps...but it's been a while.

[Sannum]

3. Matthew Broderick

:loveya:

[Systematic Chaos]

4. I loved the scene where he gets taken into custody.

Walking out of 7-11 with a nice soda (or was it Slurpee?) and all of a sudden the camera zooms out and you see 50 million men in black suits surrounding him. That and the part where he books the flight to Paris (or was it London? dammit....) with his girlfriend, using that ridiculously antiquated (by today's standards) equipment.

5. "Would you like to play a game of thermonuclear war?" nt

[General Zod]

6. Barry Corbin was fabulous as General Beringer

"We've had men in those silos since before any of you all were watching Howdy Doody! Now I myself sleep pretty well knowing those boys are down there."

[Syrinx]

10. wasn't he the astronaut dude on Northern Exposure?

[General Zod]

12. That was him.

He also played "Uncle Bob" in "Urban Cowboy."

[Syrinx]

13. He was married to that cute girl

He was this old grizzled astrodude, and she was like 19 years old or something.

[Nevernose]

8. Shall. We. Play. A. Game?

And not that dated, at least not if you remember BBs and hacking before the Internet(s). Oh, how I dreamed of changing my grades as a child...

[bridgit]

9. "fine..."

[pinniped]

11. Put that X in the middle square.
