my personal favorite is the Jurassic Park control-room scene. the little girl sits down in front of the terminal and says, "This is Unix, I know this!"
and then proceeds to "fly" (much like TRON or the aforementioned Hackers) through the system. I like 24's depiction of computer systems, still mostly bullshit, but at least the prompts are somewhat realistic, even if the network displays and de-encryption interfaces are pretty graphic intensive. Also the matrix 2, Electric Bugaloo used several terminal interfaces that were pretty close to the real thing, especially in the turn-off-the-power-grid scene...
