TODAY IS: Video Games Day, so go play a game of Miss Pac-Man or Centipede in ritual observance. Anyone who was a teenager in the 80s (or after) understands the desire to find better, faster, and cooler games... which is what drives Matthew Broderick in 1983's WARGAMES. He hacks into what he thinks is a game company's secret computer, only to inadvertently bring the world to the brink of nuclear armageddon. Oops. [today's movie at IMDb]
