Some possibilities:<BR><BR> * Tron<BR> PG / 96 minutes / 1982<BR> (watched it last year)<BR><BR> * Tron Legacy<BR> PG-13 / 127 minutes / 2010<BR> (prob not available on DVD by then;
wikipedia shows UK<BR> release as late April, and no US confirmed release date)<BR><BR> * Sneakers<BR> PG-13 / 121 minutes / 1992<BR><BR> * Hackers<BR> PG-13 / 105 minutes / 1995<BR><BR> * Cloak and Dagger<BR> PG / 101 minutes / 1984<BR> (benefit of having an Atari game as a plot element ;) )<BR><BR> * E.T.<BR> PG / 115 minutes / 1982<BR> (video game tie-in!)<BR><BR> * Superman<BR> PG / 142 minutes / 1978<BR> (video game tie-in!)<BR><BR><BR>My top choice is Cloak and Dagger. I remember enjoying it... it's a lot<BR>less famous than ET or Superman, and it's short and PG. The hacking movies<BR>are from a decade AFTER the original Atari era, and are PG-13.<BR>Neither ET nor Superman are video game movies... they were just big<BR>blockbusters from the Atari era, which also got Atari games.
:)<BR><BR><BR>Any other suggestions or arguments? And would anyone out here like to<BR>help pay for this endeavour? :)<BR><BR>-- <BR>-bill!<BR>Sent from my computer<BR>_______________________________________________<BR>atariparty mailing list<BR><A href="mailto:atariparty@lists.sonic.net" ymailto="mailto:atariparty@lists.sonic.net">atariparty@lists.sonic.net</A><BR>http://lists.sonic.net/mailman/listinfo/atariparty<BR></DIV></DIV></div><br>
