2. That was a great movie. |

I particularly liked how the country's nuclear system fit onto some 5 1/4" floppies. ;)

The kind that you actually had to put a phone headset on. I think they were 300 bps...but it's been a while.

4. I loved the scene where he gets taken into custody. |
|
Walking out of 7-11 with a nice soda (or was it Slurpee?) and all of a sudden the camera zooms out and you see 50 million men in black suits surrounding him. That and the part where he books the flight to Paris (or was it London? dammit....) with his girlfriend, using that ridiculously antiquated (by today's standards) equipment.
