Well, you knew it had to be on here somewhere. The very first movie to use computers to show us what computers looked like; the film that inspired people like John Lasseter, head of Pixar, and the members of Daft Punk; the flick that wasn't nominated for a special effects Oscar because at the time using computers was considered "cheating."
Tron.
Tron shows us a computer world where programs not only look like their creators, they actually have a system of belief that reveres them, although the AI controlling the network wants to stamp out such beliefs, just as it wants to replace humans in other areas. Areas like the Pentagon.
A world where the hero, a real person, has certain supernatural powers inside the virtual realm, making him more powerful than mere programs (we've certainly never seen that idea again in a special effects blockbuster).
It's a world where computer programs play games with each other, in a computer.
Yeah. Work that one out.
