My favourite movie hack (and the most realistic of them all)
was in "War Games", where our hero was sitting in the principal's
office after committing some infraction.  Next to him was a desk
with a computer terminal on it.  He pulled out the desk's writing
leaf, and sure enough, taped to it was a list of passwords.
