What are /g/'s favorite documentaries (or biopics / "realistic" fictional films) about technology? I finished watching this 1994 documentary on the internet last night and really liked it. Unfortunately the first part is missing, but it doesn't seem to be essential to understanding the rest. Pretty interesting look at early views of the internet both from idealistic "cyberactivists" as well as those who had a more fearful outlook on automation and the control of information. It also features William Gibson, and amusingly enough, Nick Land.

I'd add
Citizenfour
The 30 minute movie about Unix at bells lab. I can't recall the name but it's on YouTube
To just chill while eating my dinner
The computer chronicles
I'd like to watch a documentary about keyboards. How did they evolve, the rivalry between Unix layout, the original layout (same symbols location as the Japanese his) and the IBM, about the switches or keyboard keycap profile...
If anyone knows one.
