WarGames (1983)

Solid thriller. Not fully convinced by the computer stuff portrayed. A few plot holes. That said, I still found this totally entertaining, and it is one of those movies I never grow tired of. A classic.

WarGames (1983)

"Shall we a play game?" Pretty goofy by today's standards, but still enjoyable. It wouldn't have worked without a lead as charming as Broderick -- this must be what got him Ferris Bueller. All-round pretty fun.
