Ask HN: Movies to Watch on a Plane I need to fly for 20 hours tomorrow. Do you have any recommendations for movies that inspired you? To think about technology, business, entrepreneurship? Also open to "fun" (vs necessarily inspiring), "fantasy" (vs realistic science/business), and dramas! |
Since you asked:
"Pirates of Silicon Valley"[1] was talking to the camera before a certain streaming service made it cool, and "Hard Candy"[2] caused a minor drama bomb when I went off to college because I had no idea it was a CSAM search term.
(In retrospect, the friend giving me feedback was weirdly insistent that my stance of "Why wouldn't I want to list a movie about murdering pedophiles on my online dating profile?" was totally wrong, and I deeply value the many folks who came and watdched pirated episodes of Dexter in my basement back in the good old days before streaming services.)
Anyways, both are wonderful plane movies for spooky season, but maybe also throw a copy of that catbus movie[3] on your device in case there's kids around :-)

It is called "startup" about a dotcom or should I say, dotbomb company.
I remember it as being entertaining - but there was also something inspiring about the ending.
